Per, the old drivers have been replaced by hpsa. It supports some older boards, but the notion of "how old" is somewhat undefined. We've been adding PCI IDs to it in an "unsupported" manner for SLES.
Hi Jeff, yeah, we've also moved to hpsa long ago, but for these very old cards, I guess hpsa is missing more than PCI IDs ?
For the devices reporting an HP or Compaq vendor ID, you can test compatibility pretty easily using the module option "hpsa_allow_any=1" and adding the device IDs via the PCI "new_id" mechanism. You should see a warning and the device *may* work. For devices reporting a DEC vendor ID, we'd need to extend the driver to test for the DEC vendor ID.
Cool, thanks, I'll give that a go.
I'm afraid that, short of a maintainer stepping forward upstream, that's about the limit of what we can do for enabling older devices.
Yep, I understand. We'll just keep these couple of systems on 13.1 until all the disks have finally died :-) Thanks for getting back to me. I suggest we close this report. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
