I'm not sure about your undefined symbols problem, but I was able to build 2.4.4 with 6.1.11 with no trouble. David David Relson Osage Software Systems, Inc.

Howdy J.A., Let me ask a possibly stupid question... How do you tell what version of the Gibbs Adaptec driver you're using? Did I misunderstand you when you said the 2.4.4 kernel is using 6.1.5? Also, did I understand you to say the 6.1.12 version will fix my unresolved symbol problem? Thanks, Steve -Original Message- From: J . A .

It was included in the 2.4.3-ac series, but its has not got into main 2.4.4 (there is still 6.1.5). Everything needs its time. Grab the updated patch from people.freebsd.org/~gibbs/linux. BTW (Alan?) new version is 6.1.12 (just patched 2.4.4 after offset engineering and works fine). Candidate for 2.4.4-ac1 or 2.4.5-pre1 ? -- J.A.

Howdy Matthias, Well, under 2.4.4, I can't even get the driver to load due to unresolved symbols... So I know I won't be much help... :-( Later, Steve -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Matthias Andree Sent: Saturday, April 28, 2001 1:22 PM To: Linux-Kernel mailing list Subject: 2.4.3 2.4.4pre8: aic7xxx showstopper bug fails to detect sda Hi, I have several machines here, with either onboard aic7880 or with AHA2940 (I don't recall) sitting on the PCI bus, which share the same problem: they fail to detect the first disk (Id #0). The information below is from lspci and /proc/scsi/scsi of Linux 2.2.19, in that order, all Kernels have been compiled on a Duron/800 SuSE 7.0 Linux box (running gcc 2.95.2).

With 2.4.3 and 2.4.4-pre8, I get this problem (pencil & paper copy for Machine #2, DO NOT "grep"): AIC 7XXX EISA/VLB/PCI SCSI HBA DRIVER 6.1.5 aic7880: wide Channel A, SCSI ID=7, 16/255 SCBs scsi0: SCSI host adapter emulation for IDE devices PCI: found IRQ 5 for dev 00:09.0 scsi1:0:0:0: Attempting to queue an abort message. Command found on device queue aic7xxx_abort returns 8194 Then, the Kernel detects the SECOND SCSI disk and attaches it as sda (Linux 2.2 would mount that as sdb), the first disk is "gone" (Linux 2.2 would mount that as sda). Regretfully, my root partition is on the FIRST SCSI disk, so the kernel panicks since it cannot mount /. That's all I copied in a hurry, maybe it's sufficient to debug, if not, I can try to grab a null modem cable and catch the full sequence; I'd be glad if someone could mention the "canonical" aic7xxx LILO append parameters for a full debug trace in that case. Bottom line: I'm not buying Adaptec SCSI host adaptors ever again. -- Matthias Andree - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
RE: Motherboard Misdetect
Howdy Alan, I won't disagree with what you and David are saying. I took a look at the picture of the 6KD, and they're similar. Main difference is missing SCSI connectors and an extra long PCI slot (on the 6KD). Thanks!

Its actually only scanned to match against known system bugs so won't be a problem. It sounds like they are using the same bios image on a set of boards and didnt bother to fix the name.

Motherboard Misdetect
Howdy everyone, I own a M-Technology M-668DS motherboard. Linux 2.4.1 identifies my board as a Soyo SY-6KD. They're not really the same board, and they each have features the other doesn't have. (The 668DS has onboard SCSI, where as the 6KD doesn't. The 6KD can be upgraded for I20 compatibiliy, whereas the 668DS can't.) Is this going to be a problem for me? I will admit to knowing nothing about kernel programming, but I'm willing to help in any way. Below is a copy of my dmesg output.
