(Mr. Gibbs, are you still around or has the product just stabilized? Any word on when the changes will make it into a mainline kernel?) 2) When I got the above errors under Fedora Core 1 (a long time ago), I found that if I got the source from his site[1], and put it in linux-2.4 (replacing the RH version) and compiled it (with the correct compiler) it would work. for me the procedure was something along the lines of cd /usr/src/linux-2.4.22-1.2174.nptl tar -xzvf aic79xx-linux-2.4-20040209-tar.gz export CC=gcc32 cp /boot/config-2.4.22-1.2174.nptl .config make oldconfig make dep make rpm install the rpms and do a /sbin/new-kernel-pkg --mkinitrd --depmod --install kernelrev (when I install the kernel RPM on a FC3 box it ends up in /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/kernel-2.6.11/linux-2.6.11/ and is still using: aic7xxx_osm.h:#define AIC7XXX_DRIVER_VERSION "6.2.36") Good luck.
