Subject: EATA driver with DPT SmartRAID V

Hello,

I tried to make subj working on 2.4.2-ac28, but failed. Could you please give
me some advise about the situation.

pci shows:

Bus 1, device 1, function 0:
PCI bridge: Distributed Processing Technology PCI Bridge (rev 2).
Master Capable. Latency=64. Min Gnt=3.
Bus 1, device 1, function 1:
I2O: Distributed Processing Technology SmartRAID V Controller (rev 2).
IRQ 24.
Master Capable. Latency=64. Min Gnt=1.Max Lat=1.
Prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xf8000000 [0xfbffffff].

When I try to modprobe driver I get:

[root@axis /root]# modprobe eata
/lib/modules/2.4.2-ac28/kernel/drivers/scsi/eata.o: init_module: No such
deviceHint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters,
including invalid IO or IRQ parameters
/lib/modules/2.4.2-ac28/kernel/drivers/scsi/eata.o: insmod
/lib/modules/2.4.2-ac28/kernel/drivers/scsi/eata.o failed
/lib/modules/2.4.2-ac28/kernel/drivers/scsi/eata.o: insmod eata failed

I tried also default settings provided in eata.c, but this does not help.

If anyone had a success with this device, please let me know.

Thanks in advance.

This card isnt supported by the eata driver.

Is there any other way to make it working under 2.4.x? Only working drivers
are up to 2.2.16. I tried to compile them for 2.2.17 from RH 6.2 updates, but
they hang up PC.

DPT (now Adaptec) posted beta drivers for the card. I've asked them to make
a few more changes for me but their change making cycle seems very slow and
I'm waiting for the next round.

Is it possible to get this beta somewhere? I'd like to try it.
