Drew,
It may depend a lot on whuch kernel revision you are configuring. I
just looked in my current Gentoo-Sources kernel (2.6.11-gentoo-r6) and
I don't see any Advansys. However I know there used to be some
Advansys stuff because I used to have one.
Which kernel are you using?
This may be one of those cases where something useful has been
left out, or maybe it was dropped for a reason. If that's the case
then you may need ot go back to an earlier kernel for awhile.
Is there any chance you can place the install on an internal EIDE
drive, at least until you get this ironed out?Without any driver
support it will be quite difficult to get this working. (Obviously...)

Thanks. I just sent a note saying it's 2.6.11-gentoo-r6 but I haven't
seen it echoed to the list yet. Can I specifically request a certain
kernel version when emerging gentoo-source? I'll bet it's in some form
of 2.6.9 as it was seen in Fedora with that kernel version.
Thanks,
Drew

I'm performing my first Gentoo install. I booted from a Knoppix CD and
am following the installation handbook. My /boot will be on a scsi disk
attached to a Advansys controller. I'm at the point of configuring my
kernel and want to be sure I enable Advansys support in the kernel. It
seems to me that I should see such support as an option under 'Device
Drivers -> SCSI device support' as that's where I see other similar
drivers. However I do not.
Can anyone please tell me what I might need to do to enable Advansys
support? Do I need to patch the sources to get that option in the
config menus?
Thanks,
Drew
