Could someone clear up my confusion? I recently did a clean install of
RH 7.1 on my Toshiba 4020CDT laptop. Earlier versions of RH handled my
Adaptec (cardbus) SCSI card just fine. But not in RH 7.1.
The module (apa1480_cb.o) for the card seems to have dropped out when
PCMCI when into the kernel. The module is still listed in
/etc/pcmcia/config:
device "apa1480_cb"
class "scsi" module "cb_enabler", "apa1480_cb"
rpm confirms that apa1480_cb.o is not in kernel-2.4.3-12.i686.rpm.
The RH HCL tells me that "community knowledge" tells us to use a card
slot driver for this cardbus card:
*Adaptec* *SlimSCSI 1480 CardBus (PCMCIA)*
<cid:part1.03050405.04070906@netscape.com>
*Controller Card*
------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Driver Location:* Red Hat Linux installation CD
------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Notes:*
* Kernel Driver*: qlogic_cs
------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Status: * *Community Knowledge*
Can anyone using the 1480 in RH 7.1 tell me what I need to do to get the
card working? Thanks!
