Hello,
It appears that Linus has picked up most (if not all) of the patches with the

Hi all,
sorry, next time I should at least do sanity checks on my own email.
Of course 5.2.1 as in latest-test is newer than 5.1.something.
Just did a quick look in the source and on Dougs site and mixed the version
numbers up. Stupid me!
Greetings,
Michael Meding

My hope is that the Adaptec sponsored driver will eventually
become the driver embedded in 2.4.X kernels. This driver is
currently in Alpha (Beta to b

Hi all,
am I right that the aic7xx version in latest test is 5.2.1 ? Is there a
reason why this is not up to date to Doug Ledfords 5.1.31 ?
TIA

Once upon a time, they used to be, but they no longer are. Unfortunately, there

I have a PC164 Alpha (500Mhz) and I get hard lock ups randomly when
accessing the internet. It happens very frequently (like within a few
minutes) with 2.4 kernels, but happens much more infrequently with 2.2
kernels. Also, I have to compile the kernel for generic alpha (NOT PC164)
