When trying to build SCSI support into 2.6.0-test5,
I configure SCSI, but
whether I configure NO driver at all
or configure the aic7xxx driver
when I get to the
make install
I constantly get the error message
No module aic7xxx found for kernel 2.6.0-test5, aborting.
Surely SOMEONE has built this kernel with SCSI support,
so why is it giving me this trouble.
I can probably build w/o ANY SCSI support at all, but that wouldnt be
useful, so I havent tried...

I build and boot with aic7xxx built into vmlinux all the time.
However, I don't use 'make install' so I haven't seen this.
If noone else knows the answer to this problem, perhaps you could
debug install.sh or /sbin/installkernel (if those are being used).

I hadn't even thought of that.
Ive been using 'make install', as a convenience, ever since it first appeared,
and just never thought about going back to doing things by hand/the good old
way. I will take a look at the script tho, and try to see what it is doing
wrong.

Are you compiling with anything other than -j1? There is a race in the
parallel build of aic7xxx. A patch has been submitted, but is not in
-test5.
Try the attached patches and see if this helps you.

Well, yes, I was using either -j2 or -j4 (on a single processor machine).
[[ Somehow, the 2.6.0 compiles seem REALLY SLOW compared to the 2.4.x and
previous compiles ]].
But the patch didnt seem to solve the problem, I still see:
Root device is (3, 7)
Boot sector 512 bytes.
Setup is 2544 bytes.
System is 1826 kB
Kernel: arch/i386/boot/bzImage is ready
sh arch/i386/boot/install.sh 2.6.0-test5 arch/i386/boot/bzImage System.map ""
No module aic7xxx found for kernel 2.6.0-test5
mkinitrd failed
make[1]: *** [install] Error 1
make: *** [install] Error 2
when I type 'make install'. The 'make bzImage' itself went just fine.
This was after a 'make mrproper'.
As suggest (by someone else) I guess I can just do the install by hand,
but this dependence on aic7xxx is VERY strange.

While not directly related to fixing the problems building the aic7xxx
driver I thought you might find these patches I did recently of
interrest since they also deal with aic7xxx, or rather with its
documentation (I've submitted these to lkml before, but they seemed to get
lost in the sea of email - probably in part because they are very
trivial).
I was hoping that since you are already working on aic7xxx you might
consider merging these while you where at it. If submitting the patches in
this manner is inappropriate I appologize.

You should send aic7xxx stuf direct to the maintainer - Justin.
I have added him on this mail.

[Kept the patch so Justin can see it]
