Description Roberto Peon 2003-01-26 02:33:59 UTC 
The driver isn't in 2.4.20, but rather can be found as a patch from the
scsi-maintainer's website (i.e. http://people.freebsd.org/~gibbs/linux/ ).

The patch is does not change any files in 2.4.20, merely adds the aic79xx driver.

Our system's mainboard is a SuperMicro X5DA8

I'd suggest adding it to your kernel, as there is no alternative for the hardware.
