Re: Status of aic79xx driver
Hello all,
The plot thickens... now the compilation of the aic79xx module for
kernel 2.4.21 throws errors.
1) I fixed another (temporary) Linux box
to compile a kernel which should be
rdev'ed into the standard rescue floppy image.
2) Dowloaded the source to kernel 2.4.21 and started the compilation.
However, the compiler (Gcc version 3.2) throws an error when
compiling the aic79xx driver:
<output from Make>

... a mile of compilation errors follow ...
I guess that there are quite a number of you pholx out there who have
sucessfully built the aic79xx.o. If so, please simply attach it to an
email and bounce it to me.
