Hi Tim,

Try to download http://qurl.tk/jv (tab ball) or use our own (whichever is 
newer) and un-tar the file. Open  terminal and use 'cd' to navigate to 
.../rr268x-linux-src-v1.1/product/rr2680/linux/. Type "make install" and wait 
what happens. If it does't work, you are probably missing some libraries and 
don't need to keep trying. Ask the manufacturer for the correct source for your 
Linux version.

OT: linux question

2010-11-01 Thread Tim Selander
A question to the Linux users here I'm trying to set up a 16 
drive Debian NAS to hold our production company's footage 
archive. Bought a HighPoint 2680 SATA card because they claimed 
Debian compatibility. But their stock drivers are so old, I can't 
even find the distribution they match. They also have the source 
code so you can compile a new kernel to support the card. I 
tried, but being a Linux newbie, failed in all attempts. Can't 
even get the 'tree' downloaded, whatever that is!


If, say, I could pay one of you to compile the kernel/driver for 
me, is there a way you can do that and then send it to me for an 
easy install here? No idea if kernel files can just be swapped 
out...  I would make space on my ftp server for you to upload the 
finished file(s) too.


Any chance this would work?

Thanks,
