I have finally gotten the onboard 7890 on my Asus P2B-S motherboard working fine. My solution was to get the latest (5.2) RedHat release and everything installs and works great. You can go to : ftp://ftp.dialnet.net/pub/linux/aic7xxx/ to get the latest aic drivers. I tried going this route but found it was simplier to do a new install with RedHat 5.2 cheers, Eric Marcello Pietrobon wrote: > > Hi All there, > the best information I've found is the one of the attached > e-mail. > The person I spoke to at the Adaptec support didn't know about it. > Was somebody of you actually able to use the 7890 with Linux and got the > > driver or just knows where it can be found ? > > Sorry for my ignorance but I don't know where I can actually get the > kernel > as per e-mail below. > Is it also possible to download only the driver without all the Kernel > and > update the RedHat 5.1 Kernel 2.0.34 installation with it?
