ASUS P2B-DS

[Hidong Kim]

Hi, Jonas and Michael,

I just got the aic7xxx driver to work on my machine
which has the ASUS P2B-DS motherboard.  The machine:
2 x 300 MHz Pentium II, ASUS P2B-DS motherboard, 256
MB RAM, ATAPI CD-ROM, 4.5 GB IDE hard drive, 4.5 GB
SCSI hard drive on the Wide connector.  I installed
Red Hat 5.1, but the kernel in this distribution,
2.0.34, cannot support the aic7xxx driver.  You'll
need to recompile kernel 2.0.35, or 2.1.x.  I went
the 2.0.35 route.  Then you'll need the 2.0.35
aic7xxx patch, which is available at
ftp://ftp.dialnet.net/pub/linux/aic7xxx/testing. 
Unpack the 2.0.35 source, apply the patch, and
recompile the 2.0.35 kernel.  I built aic7xxx support
into the kernel.  Upon boot-up with 2.0.35, my SCSI
controller and hard drive were detected.  Hope this
helps!
