I just made available SYM driver 0.9.0 as a tar file that contains full driver files. This avoids applying 8 nasty patches successively. ftp://ftp.tux.org/roudier/drivers/freebsd/experimental/SYM-0.9.0-19991024.tar.gz ftp://ftp.tux.org/roudier/drivers/freebsd/experimental/README.sym (modulo spelling errors :-) ) Status: (switched back to EXPERIMENTAL due to some heavy changes) EXPERIMENTAL This driver is currently developped under the following O/S: FreeBSD 4.0 SNAPSHOT July 5th 1999 Starting with version 0.9.0, the driver contains conditionnal code for using pre-4.0 BUS stuff for PCI. I have successfully tested driver version 0.9.0 under: FreeBSD 3.2 RELEASE Given that the old bus stuff is still supported under FreeBSD, the driver should also compile and work just fine under FreeBSD 3.3 RELEASE. Latest revision: sym-0.9.0-19991024 * SYM-0.8.0-19991016 (diff file PATCH-SYM-0.8.0-19991016) Heavy rewrite/rewamping of the error handling code in order to conform to FreeBSD-CAM expectation of commands having to be requeued and device queue to be freezed on any kind of error. Driver status switched back to EXPERIMENTAL due to these changes. Warn user about targets that are not flagged for SCAN AT BOOT in the NVRAM, since the driver will not allow the corresponding devices to be discovered by XPT. And numerous minor changes. * SYM-0.9.0-19991024 (Tar file SYM-0.9.0-19991024.tar.gz) Add support for previous PCI BUS stuff, for the driver to be useable under FreeBSD 3.X RELEASES. The source is #ifdefed for using the old PCI BUS code under __FreeBSD_version < 400000 and the new one otherwise. Tested under RELENG_3_2_0_RELEASE, but should also be just fine for 3.3. Other changes against version 0.8.0 are only minor buglet fixes. October 24 1999.
