Subjectdac960 broken ?
Hello,

I have several "servers" using old mylex DAC960P scsi raid adapter.
So I though clever to install redhat 7.2 on them ...

redhat 7.2 does install and run well with the 2.4.7-10 kernel from the
distribution, but when I try upgrading to 2.4.9-13 (via rpm) it does not boot, 
there is a problem with resolving ext3fs symbols ... this is more a RedHat
problem, but read on :-)

I choosed to compile a customized kernel with only what I need inside kernel
(ext3fs, dac960, ..) plus some modules I might need some day.

I tried compiling 2.4.14 => my mylex card is not detected !
	(driver dac960 version 2.4.11 from 11 october 2001)
I tried with 2.4.9-13 from redhat => same problem
	(driver dac960 version 2.4.10 from 23 july 2001)
I tried custom 2.4.7-10 from redhat => works like a charm
	(driver dac960 version 2.4.10 from 1 february 2001)
all these kernels were compiled with the same .config (make oldconfig)

hardware used:
	DAC960P-2,  D040351-0-IBM REV.E firmware 3.51-0-04

detected like this by kernel 2.4.7-10:
DAC960: ***** DAC960 RAID Driver Version 2.4.10 of 1 February 2001 *****

I am insterested in any clue, since I am stuck to 2.4.7 for now ...
