Hello there Peter.
I want to use the QLogic version posted on their web page as of now.
The URL for the package is:
http://download.qlogic.com/drivers/26874/qla2xxx-v8.00.00-dist1.tgz
If you can get this working, I would apprecaite it.
I think what has to happen, is that it needs to be added to the 2.4.25 kernel and then a patch created so that SI can build it in.
I may work on trying to get it to compile into the kernel properly, then maybe save the entire kernel off.
Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated.
Thank!

The EMC version of the qla2300? I can spend a bit of time adding this driver to my kernel if you'd like. It will work with SI-3.4.1. Assuming no setbacks (we have to use 2.4.25 after all) I can have it for you sometime later this week. Alternatively if you want it done soon you will need to comb the archives for how to create your own kernel for use with SI. I've sent a few emails about it to the list in the past.
Regards,
P

I need to be using the 7.03 Qlogic HBA drivers.
I looked in 3.4.1 and did not see anything there.
Did I miss something?

Hi Greg:
Do you know which official kernel version contains that HBA driver? Using a newer kernel in place of the one which shipped with SystemImager and re-compiling the binaries may be one way to go about it.
Cheers,
Bernard

Subject: [Sisuite-users] Need to add an HBA driver
Hello there everyone.
System Imager and BOEL are getting the best of me, so I am reaching out for some help.
I need to add the drivers for a Qlogic HBA into the boot kernel & initrd.
Adding the Qlogic driver through "my_modules" does not look like the right solution because it can not be loaded until other SCSI modules are loaded.
I was looking to see if a newer version of System Imager had a later version of the 2.4 kernel which included HBA drivers, but it does not.
I am somewhat at a loss about how to proceed. Breaking "my modules" and putting the insmod commands into the RcS script seems like the wrong approach. I am also not sure that creating a patch package to get applied to the kernel is the right way either, but I will investigate that.
Any and all suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks!
