All,

So I was able to get the Adaptec kernel module uncompiled. I followed the instructions and now when I run 'make menuconfig' I see that I can make the ADPAHCI a module of the kernel under Device Drivers -> SCSI -> Low-level -> ADPAHCI. Everything to this point is nice and happy.....However, when I start to compile the kernel I get the following error once it gets to drivers/scsi/adphaci:

Sorry for the long output, but that is the entire error so I included the whole thing.

I guess the thing I am looking for is to ask if anyone else has successfully compiled Adaptec modules into the kernel before. I am also wondering why there are so many errors and undeclared functions. I did follow the instructions that came with the module and have even tried over and over again. Any ideas are also welcome. Thanks.

/dumbsheep

Which distro is this happening with, which kernel version is it, and how/where did
you get the source? Is that adaptec driver part of the stock kernel, or did you do
some patching from foreign sources?


Cheers,
Tink

It's happening with the two distros I've tried it on. I've tried it on Ubuntu and Suse

The kernel version is 2.6.23.1

Kernel source? kernel.org. The adaptec module? From the server manufacturer.

No, I had to run this:

./Build ../driver-adpahci ../shipped-binary ../../linux-2.6.23.1 blist+=x86_64 merge_driver=Yes

which then merged it with my kernel source in the drivers/scsi directory. After that I ran make menuconfig and selected the available ADPAHCI Support module. After that I tried 'make rpm' on Suse and 'make-kpkg --initrd --revision=2.6.23-386 kernel_image kernel_headers modules_image' on Ubuntu. Both have failed

And which kernel version is the adaptec source chunk certified against?

2.6.23.1 is quite recent....
