turning on TCQ in RH 6.2 (linux)

[Brian Forney]

Hi all,

I would like to configure Red Hat 6.2's aic7xxx driver, which is installed as
a loadable module, to use SCSI tagged command queueing. Has anyone had
success enabling TCQ for the aic7xxx driver as loadable module from the RH
6.2 distribution for IA32?

I know the driver's source is capable of it since I have built a 2.2.16
kernel from kernel.org sources that can do this. In this test kernel, the
aic7xxx driver is staticly linked to the kernel.

I and others would like to run a stock kernel, so I and about five others
have tried various config methods to turn on TCQ, including:

o providing lilo with boot params for the driver
o changing /etc/conf.modules to look like the following:
  
  alias eth0 tulip
  alias scsi_hostadapter aic7xxx
  options aic7xxxx tag_info={32,32,32,32,32,32,32,32,32,32,32,32,32,32,32,32}
  alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc
  alias eth1 e1000

o modifying rc.modules

None of these have worked successfully. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Brian
