Scott> How do I report low level scsi drivers (like aha1542 & eata Scott> isa) that won't build for ia64?

In general, you could report them to [email protected].
However, IIRC, both aha1542 and eata are ISA bus drivers. DIG64 does not support ISA and we'll never support those drivers on IA-64.

we should ifdef the config so that these illegal options cannot be selected for ia64.
Network device support is also a minefield.
The hp ethernet driver HP 10/100VG PCLAN
Western Digital WD80 scsi driver AHA152X/2825
all build but cause load failure. These should be disallowed as well. I would have mailed the changes, but a more methodical testing needed to be done to find all the guilty parties. Some sort of grep for isa would probably do the trick for the first pass.

Lastly, the default .config file that comes on the ftp site allows simulator code only and I have a live box. When will this change?
