kernel-advansys - Linux kernel advansys module

Description: 

This driver provides the advansys SCSI module, which has been omitted from some
Fedora kernels, and also Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 and 5.

If you need the advansys module for booting (e.g. if your system is installed
onto a SCSI disk attached to the Advansys card), run the following commands to
build a new initrd after installing a new kernel:

/usr/sbin/dkms build -k kernelver -m kernel-advansys -v 0.9.5
/usr/sbin/dkms install -k kernelver -m kernel-advansys -v 0.9.5

This assumes that you have a line "alias scsi_hostadapter advansys" in
/etc/modprobe.conf

For kernel 2.6.30 onwards, the kernel-firmware package is also required.

Packages

kernel-advansys-0.9.5-1dkms.noarch [1.2 MiB] Changelog by Paul Howarth (2010-04-13): 
- add support for RHEL 5.4, RHEL 5.5
- add support for Fedora kernels up to 2.6.33
- note that for kernel 2.6.30 onwards, the firmware has been removed from the
  kernel module and is now found in the kernel-firmware package, which must
  be installed for the module to work
kernel-advansys-0.9.4-1dkms.noarch [1.2 MiB] Changelog by Paul Howarth (2009-06-03): 
- add support for RHEL 4.6, RHEL 4.7, RHEL 4.8, RHEL 5.2, RHEL 5.3
- add support for Fedora kernels up to 2.6.29
- add src-prep directory and helper script for prepping new kernels
- include README as %doc
- relicense as GPLv2 to match kernel
- drop BUILD_EXCLUSIVE_KERNEL so that we can build for all Fedora kernels;
  this allows us to try to build for architectures other than x86-32, though
  whether this works or not is another matter (i.e. it's untested)
kernel-advansys-0.9.3-2dkms.noarch [593 KiB] Changelog by Paul Howarth (2008-02-04): 
- support RHEL 5.1 (0.9.2 module fails to build)
kernel-advansys-0.9.2-1dkms.noarch [606 KiB] Changelog by Paul Howarth (2007-07-18): 
- experimental support for RHEL 4, 5, and derivatives
- don't use macros in command paths, hardcode them instead
- remove buildroot unconditionally in %install and %clean
- unpack tarball quietly
- include (empty) %build section
- add URL
kernel-advansys-0.9.1-1dkms.noarch [280 KiB] Changelog by Paul Howarth (2005-03-17): 
- explicity run dkms from /usr/sbin so that goobers that do "su" instead
  of "su -" and don't get /usr/sbin on their PATH don't come whingeing
  that it doesn't work
