Adaptec 2940 and Linux 2.2.19
Hi,
The kernel configuration menu items have been changing quite a bit. So, I apologize for asking a trivial question in this forum.
I am trying to configure and install linux kernel 2.2.19. This system has a Adaptec 2940 SCSI adapter. I have enabled SCSI support kernel configuration menu and also have selected all the Adaptec low-level drivers. They include (actually what is offered), AHA152X/2825, AHA1542 and AHA1740. When the kernel is booting up it still does not find the AHA2940 adapter.
What (other) options should I configure to make Linux 2.2.19 find the adapter?
Thank you in advance for any help.

I think you want the aic7xxx driver - istr the aha2940 cards are actually aic789x chipsets. [Manufacturer naming schemes, you gotta love 'em.]

You want the Adaptec AIC7xxx driver. Should be listed right under those other three.

Subba,
The 2940 uses an AIC7890 (or related) chip. Look for AIC7XXX in the options.
