From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.01; Windows NT 5.0) You have no entry for PCMCIA SCSI, SCSI, etc on Bugzilla. When I went from 7.0 to 7.1, the ability to select an Adaptec 1480 PCMCIA SCSI adapter disappeared. Yet the help button in make xconfig still references. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.run /usr/src/linux/make xconfig 2.select the SCSI button 3.select the PCMCIA button 4.Cry like a baby when Adaptec 1480 adapter refuses to appear Actual Results: Cant access my SCSI devices Expected Results: Used to work under 7.0 seemlessly, but now it doesn't work at all. Even resorted to a 7.0 install, then upgrade, which proceeded to break it. Please help.
This is an unfortionate bug in the pcmcia-cs scripts. The module for this device is now called "aic7xxx_mod". We've put a kernel-pcmcia-cs package with this fix in rawhide and will make it available as an official errata as soon. But you can of course also edit the /etc/pcmcia/config file directly. Oh, and if you want to save a bit of memory: modprobe yenta_socket modprobe aic7xxx_mod should be enough to get it working, no need for cardmgr to be running.
Please reopen this bug if the propsed fix doesn't work for you.
