Greetings, I don't see much activity on this list, so this posting may be pointless, but just in case: I have a RedHat 7.3 legacy box that I can't upgrade to the newer enterprise versions of the OS, because it's running old commercial software that can't be upgraded and that won't run under anything newer than RH 7.3. I do have access to updated kernels via the RedHat legacy project, but the Adaptec drivers supplied with these kernels won't talk to the AIC-7902 built into my motherboard. I think it's possible to "transplant" in a good copy of the AIC-7902 driver to a newer 7.3 legacy kernel, but can't find any specific directions/methods for doing so, so I'm stuck with the box stock install kernel (I was able to use a driver disk at install time to allow the AIC-7902 to work with the install kernel, which is why the box is up and running now). Any suggestions or pointers would be greatly appreciated. TIA, --Duncan
