0000:00:0a.0 SCSI storage controller: Adaptec AHA-2940U/UW/D / AIC-7881U
now I cannot find any driver for linux from adaptec site.
Under
http://www.adaptec.com/worldwide/support/suppbyproduct.jsp?sess=no&language=English+US&cat=%2FTechnology%2FSCSI+Host+Adapters&fromPage=driverindex
I looked for AHA-2940 , AHA-2940UW , AHA-2940UW PRO , AHA-2940W but theres
nothing for linux..
For linux this is a standard kernel module.
Try as root: modprobe aic7xxx
(Of course, you need the complete scsi support too.)
yes, I have tried with both 2.6.7 and 2.4.27 kernels, and yes theres is aic7xxx
module.
Its just that someone told that this is problem with module and that I should
get new one from
adaptec site...
Never heard of such a problem (well, maybe in the 2.0.x days, when
some chips in the range were not yet completely supported...).
Actually I'm a happy user of a few AHA2940UW (and AHA2930) cards.
It runs in a few computers and never gave me any problems whatsoever.
Any idean what kind problem that is supposed to be? Or do you
trouble getting it to work at all?
