From: zafiris@rtsg.mot.com (John Zafiris) Subject: 99pl9 Seagate SCSI tape bug Date: Tue, 4 May 1993 17:53:41 GMT
I tried to compile the 99pl9 linux kernal with the Seagate SCSI tape
(no disk or CDROM) code but I got an error at the link stage. The
linker complains that _seagate_st0x_biosparams ((sp?) I'm typing this
from memory) is undefined. I did some tinkering to get this to work
since such a function is indeed present but did not have much luck. I
tried to use the seagate SCSI code from 99pl4 (which is what I am
upgrading from) but pl9 has apparently changed quite a bit and the old
code would need alot of work to integrate into the pl9 kernal.
Question is:
o Has anybody else seen this?
o Is there a Makefile flag that is wrong in the 99pl9 code
that could be easily corrected to fix this problem?
o Is there a small code error that causes this problem that could
be corrected?
o Could I use the SCSI drivers from another patch level to resolve
this problem? (I don't have a SCSI disk so scatter/gather is not
important to me). Which revision is recommended?
thanks for any leads... ...John
