can you give the output of lspcidrake?
Here goes =) Probably much more output than needed, but better more than
less.

thanks a lot, got the pb. Tis STORAGE_RAID instead of STORAGE_SCSI. I
changed
the regexp and that's it :)
now, more autodetection...

strange, it should work. 7.0 had a pb and patch fixed it... 7.1 has the
patch
already
I have a machine with a Mylex DAC960 and an adaptec, the initial probe

Well I am going to EMail Adaptec now, I think everyone else should as well, I don't think they really know how many linux users there are. -John - Original Message - From: "Civileme" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, June 16, 2000 9:32 AM Subject: RE: [Cooker] Mylex RAID controllers, and Adaptec ones too On Fri, 16 Jun 2000, you wrote: Oh.

When Diamond released their first cards with only windows drivers back in 93 or so, then refused to release the specs to the public, everyone I knew at the time (including myself) refused to buy any Diamond products, and suggested that their friends/family do the same. Diamond video cards went away for awhileand when the newer models were released the company was much more open about releasing specs to developers. Granted it may be a bit harder these days with the market flooded with a proprietary OS but it's definately worth a shot. -dwild
