dropped support for Tekram scsi card ?
[Sorry, I guess offtopic] Hi. I just bought SuSE 7.2 and compiled a kernel 2.4.6 from vanilla sources since that is not yet available as update. Apparently, they dropped the support for the scsi-card Tekram DC-315 (DC-390 is still there though). I tried several other drivers and a grep -i tekram ..../drivers/scsi/* but to no avail (card is not recognised). Is it really dropped out of 2.4.x, in 2.2.19 it is there, and works like a charm. Buying a newer card is quite a waste of resources, it only drives a 12/24 GB DATstreamer... ( In fact, I bought the card only yesterday...;-\ ) -- Maarten J H van den Berg van Boetzelaer van Bemmel, informatie- en netwerktechnologie http://vbvb.nl T 020-4233288 F 020-4233286 G 06-51994273

Very true. Writing sorry does not excuse that. Please ask somewhere else.
Thanks,
Roman.

Vanilla source do not have it, SuSE put it in the kernel themselves. Also, this question belonged to the SuSE linux general mailing list.... Matt

Yes.

Support for this adapter never was in a vanilla kernel.

It is in 2.2.19.SuSE, but not in 2.2.19 vanilla.

If you want to have the newest kernel, have a look at ftp.suse.com:/pub/people/mantel/next/RPM. The kernels in this location are currently based on 2.4.7-pre3 and do contain the DC315 driver.
