I have a machine with a sym53c8xx controller with 2 hard drives, and an IDE |
| 2 |
cdrom. |
| 3 |
The machine boots r1 just fine, but there is no module available for the |
| 4 |
sym53c8xx controller. |
| 5 |
I am in the process of building a module for this controller to put on floppy |
| 6 |
and try to load, but I keep running into symbol problems. |

I guess, besides my specific problem with this controller, what is the generic |
| 9 |
solution for someone who has an unsupported controller ? Normally I would use an |
| 10 |
older system or boot floppys to install the sys tarball, build a new kernel and |
| 11 |
go from there. |

On my other system an ASUS CUV4XD with dual coppermine 933's (which also has a |
| 14 |
sym53c8xx controller, but the boot drives are on ide) I have everything working |
| 15 |
just fine, except I cannot emerge xfree-4.1.0-r1 (package mask) and when I try |
| 16 |
to ebuild it blows up while doing a make clean indicating there is no make file |
| 17 |
(a problem with imake maybe ??) |

Anyway I still think this is the best distribution going, keep up the good work. |

I will be working on my first attempts at ebuild scripts this weekend, for |
| 22 |
nethack, and maybe omega |
