And the driver isn't really broken, just not converted to the proper dma mapping API. It works okay on x86, but not on the more advanced hardware. I have a pending new driver for the wide scsi advansys cards but it's stuck for me to get some new wide scsi disks. > SCSI_CPQFCTS - suboption of another driver, incredibly ugly code defying all > coding standards. cpqfc should go. mkp is working on a proper driver for the hardware. > SCSI_EATA_PIO - really old ISA cards.
