It is compiled by (debian) default. I use Adaptec AHA-2940 Ultra SCSI host
adapter which driver is aic7xxx.

I succeeded in compiling GNUMach with 2.0.38 driver using the following
"patching":
for f in
drivers/scsi/aic7xxx_proc.c \
drivers/scsi/aic7xxx_seq.c \
include/linux/pci.h \ # some constants
include/scsi/scsicam.h \ # 'cause scsi_partsize
include/scsi/scsicam.c
do
cp -uv linux/$f gnumach/linux/src/$f
done
But the compiled kernel hangs after GNUMach finds the adapter :((
I tryed the same with 2.2.18 and it succeeded in compiling again but it
hangs again too.
The message is
Kernel General Protection trap, eip 0x111e3e
kernel trap, type 13, code 0
...registers here...
trapno 13 .... error 00000000
panic trap
Now what? It seems like SIGSEGV. I'm very interested in making this driver
to work and I didn't work with kernel(s) before although I plan to.
Thanks
