- Have you tried the latest kernel?
-
- Please please please if you have a problem please please please send some
- of the information that the kernel gives you. This is especially true
- for SCSI drivers - they tend to dump out a lot of very useful information
- which will aid in tracking down the problem. Without it, all I can say is
- 'ok, you have a problem, please send some more information'.
-
- However, the Powertec drivers should be working correctly from this Sunday's
- release (oops, forgot the kernel patches... ok, they'll be done). I can't
- guarantee that I'll be able to sort out a patch for just this driver though...
