Re: SCSI will not compile into kernel

[Robert Webb <rwebb@ropeguru.com>]

Well, I fianlly figured this one out. It was a stupid oversight on my 
part. Somehow I had checked
one of the options for thw AIC7xxx to compile in the firmware. Well, 
guess what. I had no firmware to compile
in. I found out that it was checked and upon unchecking it and 
recompiling everything worked great.


It helps if you actually look at what you are doing sometimes.
