Hi list, I'm in trouble trying to use a Adaptec 2010S RAID PCI adapter
in a i386 linux box running kernel 2.6.6. I've enabled I2O in the kernel and support for my SCSI adapter, that in fact works fine.
CONFIG_I2O=y CONFIG_I2O_CONFIG=y CONFIG_I2O_BLOCK=y CONFIG_I2O_SCSI=y CONFIG_I2O_PROC=y
My dmesg shows something like this:
...<snip>...
scsi0 : Adaptec AIC7XXX EISA/VLB/PCI SCSI HBA DRIVER, Rev 6.2.36
<Adaptec 2940 Ultra2 SCSI adapter>
aic7890/91: Ultra2 Wide Channel A, SCSI Id=7, 32/253 SCBs
...<snip>...

It seens that the kernel has found the controoler. Then I headed to http://i2o.shadowconnect.com/ - I2O on Linux Home and got their raidutil package. But here starts the problem, even simple commands like
raidutil -L controller
gives me the error:
Engine connect failed: COMPATIBILITY number osdIOrequest : File /dev/dpti17 Could Not Be Opened
Following the site info I have applied the following patchs to my kernel:
i2o-64-bit-fix.patch i2o-adaptec-zerochannel-support.patch i2o-config-clean.patch i2o-makefile-cleanup.patch i2o-pae-support.patch i2o-passthru.patch i2o_block-cleanup.patch i2o_cmd_passthru-reorder.patch i2o_config-checking-bugfix.patch i2o_proc-full-seq_file.patch i2o_proc-lct-access-bugfix.patch
with no luck. I've tried Adaptec's asmbe_linux_v1.23.006.tgz tools, but aaccli cannot find the controller as well.
Does anybody experienced a problem like this before? I've found some messages on mailling lists with the same error message, but no solutions. I'm new to I2O. Am I missing something?
tks in advance for any help.
Andre
