Any pointers on getting this working?
The aic79xx.o mod installs and lets me see the A and B channels on the on board scsi, but only hwinfo reports seeing the 29320R card at all.
Is there some trick to enabling this and seeing the Mirrored drive that the card presents? Adaptec claims 8.0 support (and has a drivers disk) but I am hoping to use 8.2.
Anyone had any luck with this?
It's interesting you're having trouble with Adaptec SCSI (I know, that's not the word you'd choose). I'd been happily running 8.0 and 8.1 in a box with an Adaptec 29601N controller for 1 hard drive for a year. To my total aggravation, 8.2 completely barfed on the configuration. It could not deal with the IRQ sharing between the controller and the NIC. After a lot of screwing around, I finally wound up removing the SCSI elements and then the installation went fine. (I'm sure there may have been a way to change IRQ's from the cli, but I'm not enough of a linux wizard to know it.) Sorry not to have an answer for you, but please post back if you figure it out.
