Infact I updated from lastest cooker src.rpms the folling: rpm, libbinutils, fileutils, findutils, mkinitrd, sgml-tools, ghostscript. Then I downloaded kernel-2.4.17.13mdk-1-1mdk.src.rpm I did some few hacks to make it works on mdk ppc and now - ladies and gentlemen -... [root@serverg3 SRPMS]# uname -a Linux serverg3 2.4.17-MACINTOSH #1 ven feb 1 17:54:50 CET 2002 ppc unknown But the really good thing (for me): [root@serverg3 SRPMS]# lsmod Module Size Used by Not tainted af_packet 15416 0 (autoclean) serial 63656 0 (autoclean) bmac 13220 1 (autoclean) mesh 17492 0 (unused) aic7xxx 163972 0 (unused) sd_mod 13244 0 (unused) So... Yes! I have aic7xxx driver now and I can see my seagate big hard drive. Byez Miguel Beccari
