We have spent lots of money getting proper cabling to take care of the 68 pin --> 50 pin problem (cables from Adaptec, active terminator) so theoretically that is taken care of. But I keep seeing different aix7xxx driver versions mentioned for the 2.0.x Linux kernels versus the 2.[12].x so do I need to patch my stock RedHat 2.0.36 kernel? Thanks.
