Hello,

Last week I tried to get aacraid working under 2.6.1, which failed. In
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/must-fix/must-fix-7.txt it says:

o ideraid hasn't been ported to 2.5 at all yet.

We need to understand whether the proposed BIO split code will suffice for this.

So that explains the non-working part in 2.6. In 2.4.24 is worked out of the box, so I'm running that now.

My question: is there _any_ ETA on when this stuff is going to work in 2.6?

Could you please CC me on answers? I'm only reading the digest. Thanks,

grtz
Miek

However, aacraid is not ideraid. I'm using the aacraid driver on a Dell PERC3 controller with no problems so far on 2.6.1-mm4.

hmmm, did you have any luck with 2.6.1?

In this case it's a SATA raid from Adaptec. So, if aacraid if not ide-raid, why doesn't it work?

puzzled,

And what errors did you get?

none, when modprobing aacraid it just said:
AAC-RAID ....etc...

and no device /dev/sde found stuff like under 2.4.

It looks like there are some adapters in the 2.4 driver that aren't specified in the 2.6 driver. Check linit.c in 2.4 and 2.6.
