Subject: Re: [RFC] killing the AMD53C974 and mac_NCR5380 drivers
Date: Sat, 07 Feb 2004 03:04:39 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <BAY1-F23xAHXBejKV010001f615@hotmail.com> (raw)
Removing the AM53C974 driver sounds like a good idea, but be aware that the
tmscsim driver included on the RedHat driver disks (for people who have to
boot by floppy) causes a panic on boot ever since 7.3 on XU 5/90 machines.
The AM53C974 driver is very minimalistic, but seems to work. Once the system
is installed, the AM53C974 driver isn't stable long-term and I have to use
tmscsim.
So before deleting the driver, keep in mind that without it, there would be
no way to install RedHat's distros on the older Vectra's. Of course the
tmscsim driver included on the RedHat driver disk could be broken...
