> Hi, I do not know of sun boxes, but we also had the problem with the old aic79xx in the boel-kernel, but I could successfully get a new aic79xx into the boel. As base for my works I used the systemimager-3.1.4.tar file. aic79xx is stable from version 1.3.8, i copied the source of aic79xx to the boel-kernel-sources and did a new kernel. my procedure was the same as described in the faq's of the system imager manual chap 5.
- untar systemimager-3.1.4.tar - make patches_kernel-stamp - have the new aic79xx source merged into the kernel - make a new kernel - make the entries/copy the modules to initrd_source/my_modules - edit the FLAVOR - make binaries_install I did all this on a RedHat 8.0 system. best regards, Hildburg _____________________________________________________________________________ Hildburg Asano, Fujitsu Siemens Computers GmbH, High Performance Computing, Otto-Hahn-Ring 6, 81730 Muenchen mail:[EMAIL PROTECTED],[EMAIL PROTECTED] Tel:+49-89-636-45304, Fax: +49+89-636-43604 http://www.hpcline.de _____________________________________________________________________________ > > > My lab has been experimenting with Systemimager for the > past few weeks with mixed results.
