 Hi,
 this morning I have upgraded a computer from slink to potato, the
 process went very smooth and all seems to be fine. My problem is when I
 try to get the kernel (2.2.17) to detect the SmartRaidV controller. I've
 downdoaded some patches from adaptec's web site and followed the
 instructions but either they not apply cleanly, or make-kpkg dies or the
 computer gets unusable (load average over 6 and SCSI bus hanging).

I answer myself, I hope this can help someone in the future.
download the patch from
ftp://ftp.dpt.com/pub/techsup/SRV/software/drivers/linux/dpt1.14-2.2.16.tar
and compile the kernel with gcc272. It seems that gcc 2.95 over
optimizes the kernel.

kernel and SmartRaidV controller

Currently I'm running the old 2.0.36 kernel with SmartRaidV support but
I would like to upgrade the kernel too. Any one has experienced the same
problems? any clue?

Happy new year and TIA
