Hello Hannes,
Aic79xx driver for Adaptec 39320 supports 64-bit addressing, but the
initialization code of the driver is wrong: it tests the available
memory size instead of testing the maximum available memory address.
This is necessary to support servers that provides 1 Terabyte of
physical memory space addressing.
Attached is the suggested patch (made against 2.6.17, but 2.6.19 is
still using the available memory size instead of using the max memory
address) to solve this issue.
regards
