Well...I won't be running RedHat at all... not how it's packaged in it's current form though... I did get the rev7 aic7xxx to work on slackware and debian... so it should also work with RedHat... Simply unpack a kernel... patch it with the driver and then compile it, install it (prolly keeping a "clean/working" kernel in a safe place) and off you go :) Greets, Jeroen Massar To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-aic7xxx" in the body of the message
