I'm not an expert at it... but you need to add i386/isa/adv_isa.c and i386/scsi/advansys.c to files.i386... something like this: i386/isa/adv_isa.c optional xxx device-driver replace xxx with what you feel like calling the device... then add a line like: device xxx0 at isa? port 0xXXX bio irq X vector adv_isa_intr now for the real information needed: Advanced Systems Inc. SCSI Controller driver and ISA/VL front end. I have only tested the ABP5140 card and only with a single CDROM drive but it seems to work fine. This driver relies on features found only in the SCSI branch so will not work in -current until those changes are brought in. It also doesn't have any error handling code *yet*. The goal is to use this driver as the development platform for the new generic SCSI layer error recovery/handling code. PCI and EISA front ends will show up as soon as I get my hands on the cards. There are also a few issues in the driver that I need to clear up with AdvanSys before I can suggest sticking one of these cards in your server. 8-) Thanks to AdvanSys for releasing this code under a suitable copyright. Obtained from: Ported from the Linux driver writen by bobf@advansys.com (Bob Frey). this is a comment that Justin Gibbs made when he commited the driver... hope this helps... ttyl...
