You can get the kernel source code patch for the AMI MegaRaid driver from
anonymous ftp to www.ami.com under MegaRaid/Drivers/Linux -- I believe the
file is called mega092.zip.
Note -- I have only been able to get the kernel patch to work under 2.0.x
kernels and not 2.1.x -- which upsets me as I have a quad-processor
machine and I can only use one processor (four-way SMP is not well
supported under 2.0).
MegaRaid support *should* be integrated into the 2.1.x kernel tree
sometime, dammit.
Any kernel developers out there? Linus? Dammit! Dammit!
Okay, okay, I'm just mad 'cos I can't get the damn thing to patch under
2.1.x. Probably my fault anyway.
