initio driver needs updating
Hi, folks. I would love to bang on the latest 2.5.x revs but unfortunately I need an updated initio driver. My attempts at a compile all bomb with the current initio code. Since the freeze is coming up, could somebody please find whomever is responsible for this driver and ask them to write it to the new specs? I would do it myself but I can't code!!

Yeah, found the same problem. I am not the maintainer, but more than willing to take a shot at it. It has been a while since I rooted around in the kernel source, and, more importantly, I would like to use my CD-burner with 2.5 :-).

Good luck. The main thing it needs to do is use the pci mapping interfaces (see Documentation/DMA-mapping.txt). That actually has helpers for scsi stuff.

I did one of the initio drivers, someone else can look at my changes and see how to do the other initio driver. They need some real help to be decent :-/

Just an update. Here is the output from an attempted compile of 2.5.56 on the same box. Same hardware as before.

Unsure if it is bombing due to the usual ini9100u problems or changes to the base scsi code.
