RE: aacraid 2.4.0 kernel

[Jason Ford]

Byron,

I got your patch to compile in fine however it still exhibits the same
behavior that the older patches did. It looks like the commands sent to the
controller are still not working correctly as the new subsystem in the
kernel was rewritten.

This is the error I get in my messages file when trying to copy from one
disk partition to another one.

While it's totally unofficial, I have a patch for aacraid 1.0.6 for
2.4.1-ac5.
I have not tested it yet, but it compiles cleanly. I'd like to hear any
results
(good or bad) you have on it.

You can find it at:

  ftp://ftp.winds.org/linux/patches/2.4.1/aacraid-2.4.1-1.0.6.patch

Regards,
 Byron
