Description Robert Levin 2005-01-16 10:45:33 UTC
ac-sources is the only "standard tree" containing drivers for the IT8212 IDE RAID chipset.  I'm using ac8 at present, and will probably wait a few days to make sure ac9 is stable, and I'm sure there are other people who feel the same way; Alan is sharp but tends to be a bit bleeding-edge at times.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide, and thank you for maintaining this extremely useful package!

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Look in Alan Cox' kernel tree 2.6.10 directory on the kernel.org mirrors.
2. Note that new kernel patches (ac8, ac9) are available.
3. Check to see if ebuilds are available yet for these patches.

Actual Results:  
I discovered there were no ebuilds, and I built the ac8 kernel in
/usr/local/src, and booted off of it to move from my old Duron motherboard to my
new amd64 motherboard, so that I could start installing gentoo-amd64 in chroot.
 Kernel ac8 appears to work quite reliably so far.

Expected Results:  
Allowed me to emerge the new ac-sources kernel.

Added ac-sources-2.6.10-r10 to portage. :-)
