SubjectNewbie help! Adaptec AIC7890 - AIC7xxxx (ahc) driver for Linux Slackware 3.5
Date
Please can you you tell me where I can get hold of a driver for an Adaptec
AIC7890 SCSI on Linux Slackware 3.5.
There seems to be a version at:
ftp://ftp.dialnet.net/pub/linux/aic7xxx/testing/ but I don't have access to
a C compiler because I need the driver to install the O/S.

I'm trying to install Slackware 3.5 on a new Dell PowerEdge Server 2300. It
has an on-board AIC-7890 (for the hard-disk) and AIC-7860 (for the CD-Rom)
on booting Slackware using the aha2x4x.s image. It detects the AIC-7860 and
the CD-ROM but can't detect the
AIC-7890 and harddisk. The harddisk is on SCSI No. # 0. It's a Seagate
ST34572wC Ultra2-SE

The errors I get are in the attached file (errors.txt)

Please help - I'd be very greatful if you could.
Thanks
