Nb. If you look at the version history from adaptec on the driver
aic7xxx there has been a lot of improvements from 6.2.36 to 6.3.9 so I
simply donn't understand why RedHat is still using the old version.
To be fair to RedHat, I don't think it's their fault that this version
of the driver is included. RedHat are still using 2.4.x kernels in all
but the very newest of their distros, but even if they had moved to
2.6.x the version in use would STILL be 6.2.36. I have a gentoo system
with kernel 2.6.10, and the aic module is 6.2.36, and yes I do have
unresolved problems with my Adaptec cards.
It's up to the kernel maintainers to decide when to up-rev any
particular third party modules. I suppose RedHat could supply their own
mods to the kernel in their distro but I don't think this is common
practice.
