loading SCSI modules into 2.4.29 kernel
Hello,
I'm trying to use kernel 2.4.29 with sarge on a new IBM xSeries
server... I am working with kernel 2.4.29 because it seems to be the
only kernel that I have found (patched by somebody at
http://wiki.osuosl.org/display/LNX/Debian+on+Dell+Servers?focusedCommentId=3432&decorator=printable)
to support the Adaptec hardware HostRaid that ships with the mother
board. I have not been able to find any support for the HostRaid in any
2.6.x kernel versions.
The RAID works great.
The problem now is that I have added a SCSI controller card (lspci -v
gives me this output for the card):
0000:03:01.0 SCSI storage controller: Adaptec ASC-29320ALP U320 (rev 10)
Subsystem: Adaptec: Unknown device 0044
Flags: bus master, 66MHz, slow devsel, latency 72, IRQ 24
I/O ports at 3400 [disabled] [size=256]
Memory at d0200000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=8K]
I/O ports at 3000 [disabled] [size=256]
Expansion ROM at <unassigned> [disabled] [size=512K]
Capabilities: [dc] Power Management version 2
Capabilities: [a0] Message Signalled Interrupts: 64bit+
Queue=0/1 Enable-
Capabilities: [94] PCI-X non-bridge device.
And I cannot seem to access this card. I am trying to attach an Exabyte
Packet Loader to the card for tape backup.
Any ideas how I can get the 2.4.29 kernel to access the Packet Loader
via my SCSI card? Someone suggested I try to load modules 79xx at boot
by adding that to /etc/modules, but that doesn't seem to help.
Thanks,
Jon
