 |

Hi everyone,
I've been working for a fair few hours now trying ot get an IBM 306m up and running with gentoo but have had a great deal of trouble getting access to the harddrives.
The controller i cant configure is the adaptec 9405 SAS/SATA PCI-X controller. I've built my own liveCD following instructions at Gentoo Wiki - LiveCD howto using the gentoo 2.6.20 kernel. I've created an initramfs using genkernel and everything kicks off fine, then after the kernel loads the adp94xx driver, this happens;
| Code: | aic94xx: found Adaptec AIC-9405W SAS/SATA Host Adapter, device 0000:03:04.0

how do i give the kernel access to aic94xx-seq.fw ??
I found a debian based solution to the problem here but i couldnt figure out how this applies to genkernel.
how can i fix this?

i've got another topic started, trying to sort out initrd and hotplug
however im running out of time, and i was wondering if anyone has a binary module of this driver with the firmware installed into it thats compatible with a gentoo kernel of any description. I have only found RHEL and SuSE Professional linux binary modules, they dont seem to work
any help, pre-packaged solutions, anything to get this POS to boot with its harddrives available would be muchly appreciated
