I sent this once with no responses, so i figured that i'd try it again.... what i want to do is the following: have 2 aic7xxx cards in the system and a buslogic card with one 2940 detected as scsi0 and the other detected last (in my case, as scsi3). so, in a nutshell, what i want is: 2940UW scsi0 buslogic bt932 scsi1,scsi2 2940au scsi3, to be used for external devices that won't always be connected (ie, i don't want my sd* device names to change when i attach stuff externally). i boot off of an adaptec 2940UW (scsi0, 2 disks, 2 cd roms) scsi1 and scsi2 is a buslogic bt932 (dual channel narrow) with 2 4.3 gig narrow barracudas (1 on each channel) as a raid 0 every time i compile a new kernel, i have to edit linux/drivers/scsi/hosts.c and reorder the array so the adaptec card gets detected first. there are comments in this file that say: /* * The scsi host entries should be in the order you wish the * cards to be detected. A driver may appear more than once IFF * it can deal with being detected (and therefore initialized) * with more than one simultaneous host number, can handle being * reentrant, etc. * * They may appear in any order, as each SCSI host is told which host * number it is during detection. */ can the adaptec entry be in there twice, once before buslogic and once after? is this possible? can the aic7xxx driver handle this?? christian klein002@bama.ua.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe aic7xxx" in the body of the message
