-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 All, So I was able to get the Adaptec kernel module uncompiled (YES! :)). I followed the instructions and now when I run 'make menuconfig' I see that I can make the ADPAHCI a module of the kernel under Device Drivers - -> SCSI (I belive) -> Low-level -> ADPAHCI. Everything to this point is nice and happy.....However, when I start to compile the kernel I get the following error once it gets to drivers/scsi/adphaci: -

---------------------------------------------------------------- Sorry for the long output, but that is the entire error so I included the whole thing. I guess the thing I am looking for is to ask if anyone else on this list has successfully compiled Adaptec modules into the kernel before. I am also wondering why there are so many errors and undeclared functions. I did follow the instructions that came with the module and have even tried over and over again.
