> Have you ever used CVS? 'fraid I never have. Most of my UNIX programming has consisted of monolithic utility programs that I've done all myself.... No real need for version control. I don't know what it would involve to create a CVS tree, but it sounds like overkill for one patch. I admit to being blissfully ignorant of the overall kernel architecture of FreeBSD. (Much of the knowledge seems to be folklore; I've not seen anything written that really explains it. I'd love to attend a seminar on this, if one was given.) I've successfully made small patches to drivers without really understanding the "big picture" (for instance, the one that turns off "green mode" on a Seagate IDE drive), but don't yet know enough to write a NEW driver from scratch. > If you can't do that, copy the following files (once you see my commit > mail for the stable branch) into your source tree and recompile your > kernel: > > sys/i386/scsi/aic7xxx.c > sys/i386/scsi/aic7xxx.h > sys/dev/aic7xxx/* > sys/i386/eisa/aic7770.c > sys/pci/aic7870.c > sys/scsi/scsi_message.h /* New file */ Hmmm.... I've never gotten "commit mail," so I guess I'm not on that list. But I wonder if the organization of the files has changed. 2.1.0 doesn't have a sys/i386/eisa/aic7770.c; the ahc code seems to be in sys/isa. Will the new code "fit?" --Brett
