I'm currently rather happily running a system on Adaptec 2400A ATA RAID. This has so far not been a problem software-wise, at least not with 2.4.x kernels.
With the release of kernel 2.6-beta, I decided to see if this new branch would be anything for me. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to like my raid card: drivers/scsi/dpt_i2o.c:32:2: #error Please convert me to Documentation/DMA-mapping.txt drivers/scsi/dpt_i2o.c: In function `adpt_install_hba': drivers/scsi/dpt_i2o.c:977: warning: passing arg 2 of `request_irq' from incompatible pointer type drivers/scsi/dpt_i2o.c: In function `adpt_scsi_to_i2o': drivers/scsi/dpt_i2o.c:2118: structure has no member named `address' drivers/scsi/hosts.h: At top level: drivers/scsi/dpt_i2o.c:165: warning: `dptids' defined but not used make[2]: *** [drivers/scsi/dpt_i2o.o] Error 1 make[1]: *** [drivers/scsi] Error 2 make: *** [drivers] Error 2 I've googled for this, and it seems as if it has been a known problem for some time. The maintainer said (more than a year ago) that she'd "look into it soon". In a more recent post it is said: "dpt_i2o patch is probably not maintained and doesn't compile with current bk -- but that is not because of this fix. Other patches compile." (bk = 2.5.x-bk) There seems to be a few patches around the net for fixing this, but I've had no success so far. Living without this module is a bit difficult since my root is on that raid. :-) Question is thus simply: Has anyone managed to get dpt_i2o compiled in the 2.5.x/2.6.x kernel series, and if so then how? // Joel -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
