The following code appears in the BusLogic.h file in 2.2.19, and
presumably earlier ones as well:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
/*
FlashPoint support is only available for the Intel x86 Architecture with
CONFIG_PCI set.
*/
#ifndef __i386__
#undef CONFIG_SCSI_OMIT_FLASHPOINT
#define CONFIG_SCSI_OMIT_FLASHPOINT
#endif
#ifndef CONFIG_PCI
#undef CONFIG_SCSI_OMIT_FLASHPOINT
#define CONFIG_SCSI_OMIT_FLASHPOINT
#define BusLogic_InitializeProbeInfoListISA \
BusLogic_InitializeProbeInfoList
#endif
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now you can see why you don't get the FlashPoint support... ;-}
