Hi, I'm tyring to compile a SCSI driver for the HP XW9300 workstation. This controller is working fine with the red-hat / fedora kernels, but seems to be not supported by any other distro.
In the current situation the system is running mandrive 2006, booted from an IDE drive. The idea is to compile a kernel on this ide device with support for the scsi controller, then dd it to the scsi hard drive, and finally boot from the scsi drive. # uname -a Linux localhost 2.6.12-12mdksmp #1 SMP Fri Sep 9 17:20:34 CEST 2005 x86_64 Dual Core AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 270 unknown GNU/Linux I've downloaded the GPL'ed :) driver from http://www.lsilogic.com/files/support/ssp/fusionmpt/Linux/mptlinux-30252-1.zip The scsi controller is LSI53C1030. Extracted the relevant source to /usr/src/linux/driver/scsi/fusion, ran make all, and the kernel compiled fine (with some warnings that are irrelevant). The problem is that when I try to do make install i receive the following error : <<< [EMAIL PROTECTED] linux]# make install CHK include/linux/version.h make[1]: `arch/x86_64/kernel/asm-offsets.s' is up to date.

Thank you. P.S. No, it's not my machine. With all my wishes I do not have $1,799.00 to spend on hardware :) -- Cheers, Maxim Vexler (hq4ever). Do u GNU ?
