Hi, I am getting ready to try an Adaptec PCI SCSI adapter with SuSE 8.1 and am a little confused by the various threads I have found on the subject in the MARC archives and by what SuSE itself says about support in their own hardware database. To clear things up, I pose these questions. I'd be elated to have a definite answer to any of them.... (1) There seems to be trouble with a "new" aic7xxx driver for Adaptec cards, with some saying that they use the "old" driver. Is this the aic7xxx_old I seem to have in my kernel module directory? (The kernel and drivers I have are the ones compiled by SuSE and installed automatically.) (2) Apparently, the new driver requires a kernel without the apic module, but this (lack of apic) chokes VMWare. Does using the old driver obviate this problem? (3) More specifically, has anyone had luck with the following card: AHA-2930CU? (The box labels it twice, the other label reading "AHA-2930U", which SuSE lists as "fully" supported. (4) Is the proper driver listed for the AHA-2930U card in the SuSE hardware database really the aix7xxx or the is it aic7xxx_old? (5) Does SuSE 8.1 ship with the driver aic7xxx.o or just with aic7xxx_old.o? If the former is there, how do I find it in the installation media? Thanks for the help.
