Unfortunately, I was bit by the aic situation too. I have an AIC 1520B card running on a 3.0-08311998-SNAP running with no problems. Then I decided it was time to take the big plunge and upgrade to ELF. Before I did this, I noticed this lack of aic support problem on the current mailing list, and discovered that it wouldn't run under CAM. Since I had seen an `options CAM' in my GENERICupgrade kernel after cvsuping to the latest sources (I thought), I assumed that CAM was optional, and as long as I didn't upgrade to it (regardless of whether I had ELF or not), I would be fine. So I backed up GENERICupgrade, then made the changes of getting rid of the `option CAM' and the `da' and `sa' devices before doing a `make aout-to-elf-build', `shutdown now', and `make aout-to- elf install'. After the aout and elf stuff was built in /usr/obj, it began the upgrade process in building the kernel, and then with `make depend': ... blah blah ... cc: ../../dev/aic6x60/aic.c: No such file or directory cc: ../../i386/isa/aic_isa.c: No such file or directory (These did exist in the ../../compile/GENERICupgrade directory, however... $ ls aic* aic.h aic7xxx_reg.h aic7xxx_seq.h aicasm aicasm.o aicasm_gram.c aicasm_gram.o aicasm_scan.c aicasm_scan.o aicasm_symbol.o ). What gives here? Did I have to do something special to disable CAM besides getting rid of options CAM. Is CAM really "built-in" so there's no way to disable it in CURRENT? Is it a requirement for ELF? Did I have any business assuming I could disable CAM just because I saw it as an option to the GENERICupgrade config file? By the way, my computer is in single user mode as I write. Can I safely reboot the system and restart it with my old kernel (the ELF binaries were not installed yet...) with no problems until the aic drivers are rewritten? Where can I find out more about CAM anyway? Thanks, -Rob To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
