Hi people,
There are plenty of differential SCSI devices use in my environment and
there's virtually nothing else than Adaptec sold here. Older
kernels (I think even the 2.0 series, but I'd have to recheck) did just
support the AHA2944 with the standard aic7? (Don't have the number at
hand) driver. Decent kernels, however, do not.
I assume this is due to the renovated aic driver. Can someone confirm
this? Is there something that can be done about it? Apparently the
differential AHA does not differ so much as far as programming goes (it
worked with the old driver), probably there is just a silly check in the
driver which sees that this is a 2944 and claims it can't support it.
Thx,
Michael.
