aic7xxx seems broken

aic7xxx seems broken

[Daniel Hiepler]

Hi,

i tried to get my old Adaptec AHA-2940W/2940UW controller working to read some
old disks. This controller needs firmware compiled to work (i.e. it doesn't
detect any disks without firmware compiled).

Compiling fails [1] (This is a kernel with gentoo patchset but I also tried with
vanilla, without luck). I think it's related to this lkml post [2].

I hope this is fixable and this is the right place to report. If I should
report somewhere else, I'd appreciate if someone could point it out.


Best Regards
