From: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@HansenPartnership.com> To: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Subject: [PATCH: NEW ARCHITECTURE FOR 2.5.7] support for NCR voyager (3/4/5xxx series) Date: Sun, 24 Mar 2002 11:34:31 -0600 Cc: James.Bottomley@HansenPartnership.com This really only tidies up the split out of arch/i386 in the previous release. It also backs out a fix for the migration_mask physical/logical CPU problems in 2.5.6 in favour of the official fix. In response to will it work questions, this is the list of supported types 3430/3360 (Level 4): Works (tested up to 2 way), need sim710 driver for internal SCSI chip. 345x (Level 5): Works (tested up to 10 way), need NCR_D700 or BusLogic SCSI card. 35xx (Level 5): Should work up to 16 way (not tested), need NCR_D700 or BusLogic SCSI card. 4100 (Level 5): Should work (not tested), need NCR_D700 SCSI card. Q720 driver is broken currently, so must use D700 or BusLogic SCSI card. 51xx (Level 5): Should work up to 32 way (not tested). No Q720 driver is a bit of a problem here since I don't think they support anything else. The patch is in two parts this time: The i386 sub-architecture split is separated from the addition of the voyager components http://www.hansenpartnership.com/voyager/files/split-2.5.7.diff (259k) http://www.hansenpartnership.com/voyager/files/split-2.5.7.BK (107k) http://www.hansenpartnership.com/voyager/files/voyager-2.5.7.diff (149k) http://www.hansenpartnership.com/voyager/files/voyager-2.5.7.BK (288k) (The split diff is pretty huge because it's actually moving files about). You must apply the split diff before applying the voyager one.
