adp94xx driver for 2.6.13?
Are drivers/sources available for Adaptec's AIC-94XX SAS controllers someplace? I am trying to run 2.6.13 on a x460. Any pointers to the latest driver sources appreciated.
Thanks,
Kiran

There is no driver source for Adaptec SATA hardware. You need to get the latest binary drivers from Adaptec support.

James & Ravikiran,
Adaptec does have source code available under the GPL for the AIC 94xx. In fact it was submitted to this list and rejected.
It appears to work reasonably well under our stress testing environments here at mvista. It does have some problems on x86_64 with 8gb of ram but works well with 6gb on x86_64. It also has a significant amount of nits which make it unacceptable for kernel.org merging.

Someone from adaptec had posted the sources to linux-scsi some time back, but unfortunately, it is a humongous 27 patch patchset, with some malformed patches. Also one of the patches is missing (#6 ,or the patch numbering was bad). So I was wondering if folks from adaptec or other people stuck with this adapter could point me to the sources, if it is available...
Thanks,
Kiran
