I believe you, and I'm not the one to judge him. But how can I get my
adaptec 7890 to work in 2.4.5 - I know this is not a XFS related question,
but I'm sure somebody can tell me how to get that controller to work.
I'm using gcc 2.95.3 glibc 2.2.3 and binutils 2.11. It has never been a
problem to compile an XFS kernel up to today.
Thanks again,
