| trying to see if i can get an older initio 50 pin only pci scsi card to work with 2.6, in the gentoo-soruces 2.4, there is CONFIG_SCSI_INITIO that has support for this, in 2.6, there is only the CONFIG_SCSI_INIA100 that supports the newer cards. does anyone know whether or not the kernel has any driver that will work with this card? its actually an siig ap-10 card that i dug up but as long as the chipset matches, and i can find a driver, i dont forsee a problem... |

I looked through the Kconfig file in drivers/scsi and found this:
| Quote: | ...
config SCSI_INITIO
tristate "Initio 9100U(W) support"
depends on PCI && SCSI && BROKEN
... |
| init/Kconfig wrote: | ...
config CLEAN_COMPILE
bool "Select only drivers expected to compile cleanly" if EXPERIMENTAL
...
config BROKEN
bool
depends on !CLEAN_COMPILE
... |
So you have to deselect 'Code maturity level options ---> Select only drivers expected to compile cleanly' to be able to use the old driver.
Sorry I have no idea if this driver will compile and do his work correctly.
So it's your turn to test this if you want!  |
