Anyone know when a driver will be available or where I can get a driver for the Adaptec AIC-7899 SCSI Controler for Fedora Core 2??
Would really like to update to Core 2 on my Intel server but I can't find the proper driver to continue the Installation?
According to /usr/src/linux-2.6.6/Documentation/scsi/aic7xxx.txt, the AIC-7899 is supported by the aic7xxx module in kernel 2.6.6 at least:
The following Adaptec SCSI Chips and Host Adapters are supported by the aic7xxx driver.

1. Multiplexed Twin Channel Device - One controller servicing two
busses.
2. Multi-function Twin Channel Device - Two controllers on one chip.
3. Command Channel Secondary DMA Engine - Allows scatter gather list and SCB prefetch.
4. 64 Byte SCB Support - Allows disconnected, unttagged request table for all possible target/lun combinations.
5. Block Move Instruction Support - Doubles the speed of certain
sequencer operations.
6. `Bayonet' style Scatter Gather Engine - Improves S/G prefetch
performance.
7. Queuing Registers - Allows queuing of new transactions without
pausing the sequencer.
8. Multiple Target IDs - Allows the controller to respond to selection as a target on multiple SCSI IDs.
