Who's doing all of this:
That would be me, Doug Ledford <
[email protected]> If you have
any feedback on these patches, good or bad, it would be appreciated.
NOTE!!!!! My email address has changed. It used to be
[email protected], now it's
[email protected]. Please
make note of this and don't use the old address :)
What's in here:
5.1.0: The official 5.1.0 aic7xxx driver patches for several kernels.
5.1.x: Any later kernel versions will get their own directories....one
directory to each aic7xxx driver version.
5.1.0-pre-patches: The 5.1.0 driver series is now *very* close to it's
final release. We are in the very last BETA stages of the driver
with only a few known bugs left. This is where you will find
the current patches.
boot_disks: This will have boot disks for usually RedHat-5.1 and SuSE-5.3
operating systems so that you can install those distributions on
computers that need the latest code in order to operate. It will
also contain kernel rpm files for RedHat to go along with any
RedHat boot disks.
OLD: This directory contains the earlier versions of my patches. These
have been include in the latest linux kernel sources for both 2.0.x
and 2.1.x, so you shouldn't need anything out of this directory.
General Notes:
Patches against clean kernel source trees are listed as
aic7xxx-5.1.x.patch.gz
and should be applied with no other patches having been applied
previously.
Patches that upgrade from one version of the aic7xxx driver to the
next are listed as
aic7xxx-5.1.x-to-5.1.y.patch.gz
and should be applied after the previous patch is applied.
The tar.gz files are complete source files. A person does not
need both the patch files and the tar.gz files. If you have
one or the other, that is sufficient.
