Bug 145168 – driver for Promise SuperTrack EX83x0/EX163x0 RAID controllers

• Status: RESOLVED UPSTREAM
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Sergey Belyashov 2006-08-26 05:27:56 UTC]

I write ebuild for shasta kernel module (driver for Promise ST EX163x0/EX83x0 SATA RAID Controllers).
It works fine for me on AMD64 with ST EX16350 (16 disks: RAID50: 3.5TB: BIOS v2.9.0.19).

Don't use unzip in src_unpack, no need to do such weird stuff. Just

src_unpack() {
	unpack ${A}
	cd "${S}"
	epatch "${FILESDIR}"/shasta-2.9.0.10-x86_64.patch
}

will work fine. Also, remove virtual/modutils and virtual/linux-sources from dependencies, the eclasses already take care of this properly.

I keep mkdir ${S} because zip archive do not contain directory.

Driver were build in to the linux kernel 2.6.20 and later.
