Humm, its gotten that far has it? You and I may be the only 2 users with advansys cards. The driver is old, and unmaintained, and in the view of the kernel coders, full of races, so it not being built at all if you don't have the box that says something about drivers that compile cleanly unchecked in the make xconfig screen. Its a shame IMO, its a hell of a good card, doing everything right in terms of termination and other hardware details that make a scsi bus dependable instead of needing virgins sacrificed over it weekly to keep it working, something I personally have had a hell of a time with when the card had an adaptec label on it. I'd swear to this day that the adaptec designers have never understood the concept and operating principles of a transmission line, which is what a scsi bus is. Yes, I'm an rf broadcast engineer, and I DO know about such things. Anyway, uncheck that box in the first window of the xconfig screen and then you will see that under scsi drivers, the advansys driver will now show up. It will kick out 2 warnings during the compile, but it should work. > > > >__________________________________ >Do you Yahoo!? >New and Improved Yahoo!
