First check if you should be using the soc or socal drivers.Does this mean that I will be able to successfully compile a 2.6 kernel using gcc 3.3.5 on my sparc64 gentoo box? Yeah!
now.. If only I (or someone) could fix the fcal/socal
driver. I even tried using the socal_asm.h firmware
patch derived from the Solaris 10 "socal" firmware. No luck. :(
A handbook search at sunsolve for the barcode on your board will
tell you if it is FC/25 or FCAL - just take the first 7 chars and insert
a dash like this 501-1234. The SSA1xx arrays with 3 pull-out drawers
each containing 10 drives need the soc card and drivers. Later arrays such as the A5000 need the socal card and drivers.
The soc/pluto stuff has not been maintained since 2.2.x and AFAIK this is also true for socal.
Take a look at http://www.splack.org/fibrechan.html for the lowdown on how to get soc working on 2.2.x, once you have that working it should be possible to port the existing drivers to 2.4 and then 2.6.
