As a matter of fact I already have such a kernel compiled but I need to be there in person to make sure it doesn't blow up. :)
There were four files:
linux-2.2.16-aacraid-1.0.3.patch linux-2.2.16-aacraid-1.0.3-paths.patch linux-2.2.16-aacraid-1.0.4.patch linux-2.2.16-aacraid-1.0.5.patch
The only part of the patchs that caused a reject with 2.2.17 was this:
--- linux/drivers/scsi/scsi.c.aacraid Tue Jun 13 12:52:09 2000 +++ linux/drivers/scsi/scsi.c Tue Jun 13 12:52:42 2000 @@ -307,6 +307,8 @@ {"MATSHITA","PD-1","*", BLIST_FORCELUN | BLIST_SINGLELUN}, {"iomega","jaz 1GB","J.86", BLIST_NOTQ | BLIST_NOLUN}, {"TOSHIBA","CDROM","*", BLIST_ISROM}, +{"DELL", "PERCRAID", "*", BLIST_FORCELUN}, +{"HP", "NetRAID-4M", "*", BLIST_FORCELUN}, {"MegaRAID", "LD", "*", BLIST_FORCELUN}, /* * Must be at end of list... Easily addable by hand.
Though I am concerned about the KNOWNBUGS file that was in the 1.0.3 patch but was removed by the later version patches. It seems to indicate its a bad idea to compile it directly in the kernel. Is it better to compile it as a module?
Thanks for your time...
