Can't you run a kernel from www.kernel.org? I took Justin's advice, downloaded the 2.2.20 kernel, compiled it and it runs without a hitch. Then I downloaded the 2.2.19 patch and applied it with this command: cd /usr/src/linux && cat ../patches/linux-aic7xxx-6.2.1-2.2.19.patch.gz | patch -p1 When I recompile the kernel (with make bzImage) I get this error: scsi.h:644: warning: `end_scsi_request' defined but not used make[3]: *** No rule to make target `aic7xxx/sequencer.h', needed by `aic7xxx.o'. Stop. make[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux/drivers/scsi' make[2]: *** [first_rule] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux/drivers/scsi' make[1]: *** [_subdir_scsi] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux/drivers' make: *** [_dir_drivers] Error 2 Can someone tell me where I went astray?
