Re: qla1280 driver for qlogic-1040 on alpha

Hi,

I have  qlogic 1020,1040 and 1080 cards and actually a 12160 on the
way from ebay. Those are the cards I'll be able to test for now. I'll
put together a patch with the changes I've made to qla1280.c and post
it to the list. My ES40 will not run the qla1040 without getting
filesystem corruption, when I put more than 2GB ram in it. I guess
qla1040 and large memory 64-bit systems were never a frequent
combination?
