[PATCH] 2.4.20 still can't detect my SCSI disk

[PATCH] 2.4.20 still can't detect my SCSI disk

[Denis Vlasenko]

Hi Marcelo,

I had to find out why 2.4.19 did not work with one old EISA SCSI disk.
As it turned out, it's an identification problem only. I made a patch
which works for me, machine is a mail server and now
I have no problems with disks.

I sent the patch to Justin T. Gibbs, he said he will test it
and push to you.

As I see it is still not insluded in 2.4.20 (and visual inspection
of 2.4.21-pre3 patch shows it's not there either).

So I mail the patch to you and to Justin T. Gibbs.

Please include.

I've tried to get Marcello to update the aic7xxx driver in the 2.4.X
tree to no avail.  The Olvetti support was added to my version of
the aic7xxx driver some time ago.  You can get my latest driver
versions from here:
