Hi again, So i'm going through the aic7xxx header files and I find this routine: ahc_reset <http://www.gelato.unsw.edu.au/lxr/ident?i=ahc_reset>(struct ahc_softc <http://www.gelato.unsw.edu.au/lxr/ident?i=ahc_softc>; *ahc, int reinit <http://www.gelato.unsw.edu.au/lxr/ident?i=reinit>) (see http://www.gelato.unsw.edu.au/lxr/source/drivers/scsi/aic7xxx/aic7xxx_core.c#L3992) this routine seems to be the function i'm looking for, but it takes a ahc_softc as an argument, which is a struct defined in aic7xxx.h ( http://www.gelato.unsw.edu.au/lxr/source/drivers/scsi/aic7xxx/aic7xxx.h#L915) this struct is huge and contains about a gagillion data-members. There has to be some way that I can create one in some automated way, right? or do i have to fill in each blank myself? thanks, George On Tue, Mar 4, 2008 at 11:50 AM, George Locke < george.locke.physics@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > > I'm trying to track down a problem i'm having talking to this archaic > hardware, and among the tasks is to make sure my scsi controller is > working.
