Bug 35850 – [[ assigned -> plasmaroo ]] Tekram DC395 SCSI driver doesn't compile in gentoo-sources-2.4.20-r9 and missing in gentoo-sources-2.4.22-r1

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description James A. Stangler 2003-12-14 20:01:47 UTC]

The Tekram DC395 SCSI driver doesn't compile in gentoo-sources-2.4.20-r9.  The problem is described on a note on the tekram scsi homepage <http://www.garloff.de/kurt/linux/dc395/>.  It says under the version 1.41 notes "Important: Unfortunately, a TAB slipped in after a backslash (\) in dc395x_trm.h line 68, which prevents successful compilation with old error handling. Please remove the TAB!".  Without removing the tab results in a compile error.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enable the Tekram config option in the kernel config under scsi drivers (CONFIG_SCSI_DC395x_TRMS1040=y)
2. make dep; make bzImage

Assigning to [e-mail] as per instructions in the ebuild.

Can you do us a favor and test gentoo-sources-2.4.22?

[Comment 3 James A. Stangler 2003-12-21 14:08:23 UTC]

I ran:

ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~x86 emerge =gentoo-sources-2.4.22-r1

but that build didn't have the dc395 patch.  Neither did gentoo-sources-2.4.22-r2.  I get a fetch error when I tried to build gentoo-sources-2.4.22:
!!! Couldn't download gentoo-sources-2.4.22.patch.bz2. Aborting.

[Comment 4 Tim Yamin (RETIRED) 2004-02-08 08:08:40 UTC]

Patch is in gentoo-sources-2.4.20-r11. Thanks!
