[ale] need to update scsi driver 2.2.x -> 2.4.x, source included as attachment............

[Joe Steele]

Looks to me like they started incorporating the dpt_i2o.c driver into 
the kernel source since about 2.4.10, but that they didn't make the 
following "configure option help" available until about 2.4.15:

    Adaptec I2O RAID support
    CONFIG_SCSI_DPT_I2O
      This driver supports all of Adaptec's I2O based RAID controllers as
      well as the DPT SmartRaid V cards.  This is an Adaptec maintained
      driver by Deanna Bonds.  See <file:drivers/scsi/README.dpti>.

      This driver is also available as a module ( = code which can be
      inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want).
      If you want to compile it as a module, say M here and read
      <file:Documentation/modules.txt>.  The module will be called
      dpt_i2o.o.

This seems to be what you are wanting, isn't it?

Greetings !

I have the scsi driver source for 2.2.x and need it updated to 2.4.x.

I'm aware that this is a 'significant' project but would be grateful if 
someone experienced in this area would take a cursory look at the source 
and indicate what "basically" would be required to accomplish such an 
update.

I also have copies of the header, Config, Makefile, hosts.c and 
attendant i2o files if desired but wanted to initially try to minimize 
the size of this posting.

Recommendations regarding information, suggested line of attack and on 
line help would also be appreciated, of course.

Thank you,
Courtney
