I grabbed linux-2.0.30 and the aic7xxx-2.0.30-pre10-patch file, but, I could
not get the patch file to update the linux source properly. Many hunks
failed. This patch file doesn't seem to be related to the linux source
files (drivers/scsi/aic...) -- the patch seems way off the mark.
So, do I apply this patch to 2.0.30 or not?
What does the -pre10 mean?
John
