An update has been released for Fedora Core 3 (kernel-2.6.12-1.1372_FC3) which may contain a fix for your problem. Please update to this new kernel, and report whether or not it fixes your problem. If you have updated to Fedora Core 4 since this bug was opened, and the problem still occurs with the latest updates for that release, please change the version field of this bug to 'fc4'. Thank you. I'm guessing this was a blanket update to all your kernel related bugs, but anyway, yes, it's still a problem with FC4. yes, it was a blanket comment, thanks for the update though. I've just committed a change to FC3/FC4/rawhide, all being well (ie, as long as it compiles) this will be in the next updates. [This comment has been added as a mass update for all FC4 kernel bugs. If you have migrated this bug from an FC3 bug today, ignore this comment.] Please retest your problem with todays 2.6.12-1.1398_FC4 update. If your problem involved being unable to boot, or some hardware not being detected correctly, please make sure your /etc/modprobe.conf is correct *BEFORE* installing any kernel updates. If in doubt, you can recreate this file using.. mv /etc/sysconfig/hwconf /etc/sysconfig/hwconf.bak mv /etc/modprobe.conf /etc/modprobe.conf.bak kudzu Thank you. Just FYI, this now works fine with recent kernels (2.6.13-1.1532_FC4smp, for example). |
Description of problem: The FC kernels don't include support for Tekram DC395x SCSI controllers Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.10-1.770_FC3 The driver is marked as experimental. However, I've been using it since the 2.4 days, and have found it to be extremely robust under both 2.4 and 2.6 kernels (I'm currently using a home built 2.6.10 kernel with it). Since it's demonstrably stable, at least for my hardware, why not include it? I've been using it for disks, a CD writer and a scanner, so it's been getting coverage of a fairly respectable range of SCSI devices. Also, the project objectives include: 5. Be on the leading edge of open source technology, by adopting and helping develop new features and version upgrades. "Leading edge" and "new features" would tend to imply that experimental drivers should be actively encouraged. Particularly when, as in this case, they're actually very stable.
