Re: the famous Tyan S2885 PCI IDE problem, additional experiences [resolved]

[Billy Stewart]

Dap,
  I too have the same problem in relation to the IAL completion errors and
have upgraded from 2.6.9 to 2.6.11.  But now I am unable to compile the
openbuild drivers for the highpoint 1820a raid controllers.

May I ask how you successfully comiled the drivers to work with 2.6.11?

My setup:
Tyan S2882 dual opteron 240
4 gig ram
2 Highpoint 1820a
12 seagate 7200.7 baracudas

Thank you
Billy Stewart
