Hello, I read with interest your posting of a boot disk with a 2.2.10 kernel and "Advansys Support" -- I have a new Advansys Ultra2 Wide SCSI controller (ASB3940U2W) that requires an updated advansys.o driver available here
http://www.advansys.com/support/software/os/linux.htm Do these boot disks you made include support for this SCSI card? Alternatively is there an __EASY__ way for me to build my own boot disks that only have different advansys.c and advansys.h files? Is there a project i can download for building boot disks? I envision changing the above two source files, typing "make" and having a new resc1440.bin and drv1440.bin . Or am I just dreaming? Thanks, Curt ---------------------------------------------------------------- As I this is written an upload of slink installation disks using the 2.2.10 kernel is being uploaded to opensource.captech.com in the /captech/disks/slink/2.2.10 directory These are TEST disks, you are welcome to TEST them. There was some SCSI support and other less popular options removed because of the size of the 2.2.10 kernel. In the next few days I will be adding some more sets that have much more support but are more specialized. There will be a no-scsi set that has a lot of network and other peripheral options, a no-ide set that does much the same for SCSI. More will follow including an SMP 2.2.10 install set. I have tested this all here and it appears to work. Of note is that these disks support things like Advansys and Initio disk controllers as well as providing much better support for the NetGear network cards. Also, the base disks include some things from potato recompiled for slink. The naming convention for some of these packages will change shortly so be careful. Right now I am using <package-name>_<potato-version>slink.<build>.deb but that is likely to change to <package-name>_<potato-version>-<potato-revision>slink.<build>.deb Basicly, this will not affect the majority of you so don't worry about it. In any case, I am interested in any feedback or particular device support you might want. I can build a new set in a short period of time.
