Adaptec 2940A Ultra (2940AU)
S.u.S.E. version: 4.2/4.3
Kernel version: 2.0.18
Important!
Please read the hint below before you use the disk!
Symptom:
Kernel doesn't detect the SCSI adapter Adaptec 2940A
Ultra (Chipset:
AIC 7861, PCI-Id 0x6178), at least until
version 2.0.22.
Solution:
There is a special patch for this adapter.
A bootdisk with a patched AHA2940 driver is at
The Kernel source codes are at
ftp://ftp.suse.de:/pub/kernel/lx2018-2940.tgz
and
ftp://ftp.suse.de:/pub/kernel/lx2022-2940.tgz
.
The Patch is at
ftp://ftp.suse.de:/pub/kernel/AIC7xxx-2.0.22-patch-Oct13.gz
Hint:
This patch is still not official. At the first trials strange
phenomenons were noticed. E.g. the 2940 doesn't detect the disk
right after booting. Here only a long switch off (>
5 minutes) helped. We ask you to please give us feedback about this disk,
so we can judge the suitability of this patch.
