YDL 2.3 and Sonnet ATA card?

[Evan Dorn]

Michael,

Thanks for the reply!  I fortunately don't need to use the 2.1 cd=20
kernel to do the install; my root drive is SCSI, and is supported.  I'm=20=

using a 180GB ATA drive, mounted at /home1, as a big dumping ground so=20=

I can quickly back up my OS X workstation over my LAN.

However, I'm having horrible trouble compiling in the promise driver. =20=

I thought I was just doing something wrong the first couple of times,=20
but now that I've studied and know what I'm doing, the problems are=20
extremely consistent.   However, I suspect that the problem I'm having=20=

may be wider than just the Sonnet card, so I'm going to put it in a new=20=

thread.
