That could have been helpful. > The kernel config is in CVS, this one is for kernel 2.4.33 (Bering- uClibc 3.0) but it's about the same for kernel 2.4.32: http://leaf.cvs.sourceforge.net/leaf/src/bering-uclibc/apps/
There is also a lot of info about how to build packages and kernel ( modules) using buildtool: http://leaf.sourceforge.net/doc/buc-devel.html >>If you have access to a linux machine, you can compile a 2.4.32 >>kernel with only this module and option enabled.

So you could compile the AIC7XXX module with EISA enabled. >I do have a LFS 2.4.31 system, but I admit I'm not quite capable of >playing with different system levels with the secure knowledge I won't >mess up my production system in an way.

Do a make menuconfig, make dep and make modules. As long as you don't do a make install, it won't mess up your running system. After that just replace the module. No need for an uClibc environment. >OTOH, let me ask if perhaps it shouldn't be an update to the >Bering-uClibc-2.4.2 kernel/modules? Somebody else might need it.

Still... ;-) > The scsi modules, including AIC7XXX are already included (PCI). Only they are not compiled with EISA an VL support. But EISA and VL are obsoleted for at least 10 years.....
