latest 2.6 patch for dpt_i20 driver
Karen Shaeffer
Hi,
I have access to several Adaptec I2O RAID controllers and am interested in
running linux-2.6.x kernels in this lab for testing purposes. Will someone
please advise me on where to find the most up to date patch(es) for this
driver. Thanks in advance.

First of it all, it's still risky to do it. But here is how:
get Mark's patch ->
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-scsi&m=107210932819564&w=2
Hack the ./drivers/scsi/dpt_i2o.c and remove all references to the
access_count member.
The access_count member doesnt exist anymore but is it still included in
the shipped dpt_i2o.c file. I googled some changelogs and it appears to
be removed in a 2.5.x kernel, but correct me if i am wrong.
it's q&d but it works so far ;)
Compile & boot :)
I enabled bigmem (4GB) and didnt encounter any problems yet. I have to
do some benchmarks bonnie/postal to get a high load for a couple of
hours. Just to make sure it doesnt die ;)

Thanks for your comments.
I actually got the latest patch from Mark over at Adaptec. This patch wraps
all the access_count references in ifdefs, so I didn't have to make any
modifications. It compiled and runs as is.
Thanks again,
Karen
