At first, I was going to ask if anyone had "updated" the DPT provided driver
for their latest line of I2O based RAID controllers... I thought to myself,
"hmm, 'modprobe i2o_scsi' ??" Of course that didn't work (2.3.33) but
it was promising -- ^C stopped the spewage of failure messages and shutdown
the RAID card!
Knowing the driver from DPT is based in 2.2.12(?), I figured this would be
a major pain to slide into 2.3, but it was surprisingly easy :-)
So, is there an "official" driver in the pipe for the ever-pending 2.4? Is
the I2O base supposed to be able to handle this? Or should I just throw my
quick hackish modifications back at DPT?
(Basically, it's just filling in the Scsi_Host_Template correctly and cleaning
up all the damned spinlocks -- initialize BEFORE use please. It took about
an hour from patch (most of it installs) to mk2efs.)
I've got it "working" as a module in 2.3.33 for a SmartRAID V. (Now let's
see if I can crash the controller like the Mylex AccelRAID 150 this thing
replaced.)
