I thought that grml has the adp94xx driver so I downloaded version 1.0, burned the iso to CD and mounted it. I noticed there is no driver adp94* in /lib/modules/2.6.20-grml/* recursive. Is it supported or not? The README for version 0.9 shows it should be there:
http://grml.org/files/README-0.9.php
Has adp94xx been dropped? If so, where can I get it? I am looking for a way to install generic Debian on hardware that requires adp94xx and grml seemed to be a good path.
IIRC adp94xx has been integrated as aic94xx in mainline 2.6.19.
% uname -a Linux funkenzutzler 2.6.20-grml #1 SMP PREEMPT Sun Apr 22 13:28:02 CEST 2007 i686 GNU/Linux % modinfo aic94xx | grep description description: Adaptec aic94xx SAS/SATA driver
Please correct me if I'm wrong (I don't own an Adaptec SAS/SATA controller).
I don't believe the aic94xx driver is the same as adp94xx, which has proprietary code. Given Debian's strict policies, I would be surprised if they adopted adp94xx code. I tried to install a modified Debian stable (2.6.18 kernel + aic94xx) install without success. That when it was indicated to me that the adp94xx is needed. RedHat reportedly comes with adp94xx drivers, which are required for my specific Adaptec chip. I was hoping grml had them too, as indicated in the README.
