the problem with my amanda jobs and 64/32 bit taper, etc., has been isolated by the amanda folks as a kernel scsi driver issue.
I would like to revert from 2.6.14 to 2.4.32 and try the older drivers for a while.
However, when I started the menuconfig, I discovered there is not a "processor type" for the AMD Optoren. There is AMD Hammer, Intel x86-64, and generic x86-64. I am guessing I need the generic x86-64. Is this correct ? Will the amd64 in 64-bit mode run on a 2.4.x kernel ? Should I revert to a lower 2.6.x kernel ? The troublesome driver is the "Adaptec AIC7xxx Fast -> U160 support (New Driver)" ?
