Comment 1 Phil Copeland 2001-04-30 07:24:08 UTC
It would appear that the structure definitions for the MEGARAID
Scsi_Host_Template are complete rubbish (see megaraid.h file vs the hosts.h
template definitions.

WHAT THE HELL IS THE PROGRAMMER FOR THISI SMOKING??!??

Obviously stuff that is even illegal in .nl;
just disable if 1.15 version doesn't work.
