2.4.21-rc7 AMD64 dpt_i2o fails compile

Quoted 11 lines · Warren Togami

My two Tyan S2880GNR dual Opteron servers came in today. Sweet!

Unfortunately the Adaptec 2110S SCSI RAID controllers within both servers are unable to work with any of the drivers in GinGin64's Anaconda. Searching the net it seems that this controller needs the dpt_i2o module which exists in Shrike, but not in GinGin64's kernel. Were there problems with that module in AMD64?

I'm installing onto an IDE hard drive now and plan on building custom kernels from there.

Any recommendations of things to try?

Rebuild the kernel with the driver, see what happens. I don't think we've tested that driver here to confirm whether it does or doesn't have problems.

2.4.20-9.2 (GinGin64)
Build failure when dpt is enabled as a module. This is probably why this and many other kernel modules were not included in the GinGin64 preview release.

Unfortunately it fails compilation in the same place for 2.4.21-rc7. I'm testing 2.5.70-bk* next.

LKML, any existing patches for this dpt_i2o module AMD64 compilation issue? Please CC me because not currently subscribed to lkml.
