Hi folks. I just upgraded my system from Redhat 5.0 to Redhat 5.1, and all went very smoothly. That is a first for me and Redhat -- I am pleased to see the progress. BTW, the system is a PPRO 200 with 2940U, 2 Quantum Atlas 2.2 GB, and 1 IBM 9.1 GB, no Ultra drives. One problem I did see, but only once so far, was a scsi timeout which I had never experienced before, the system recovered and kept running. My kernel is 2.0.34 with 5.0.13 patch level for aic7xxx. This is straight out of the box Redhat 5.1 with the 5.1 patches from Sunsite.unc.edu. So, I thought I would go to Doug's ftp site and pick up the latest patch level for the driver, 5.0.18. Well, when I got there I was somewhat confused as to which code to bring down. There are several flavors of updates, and I need guidance as how to proceed. Should I slam-dunk a complete 5.0.18, or should I incredmentally move up to it through the "a to b" patch deltas? **Which directory to I pull from? Since Redhat 5.1 is shipping (got mine by FedEx last Friday), it might be good to publish a set of steps to move from the Redhat base distribution to the latest driver level. Doug Ledford, What do you recommend? Thanks for your consideration. Regards, Ken Garlock k-garlock@ti.com These are my comments, not my employer's who is Solaris fan.
