Hi @all,

i habe a problem with using a Mylex DAC960 Raid-Controller with my Digital PW500AU. I have installed Gentoo on SDA1 at a normal SCSI-Controller and compiled support to DAC960 into the Kernel.
Option: CONFIG_BLK_DEV_DAC960=y

But dmesg shows:

    DAC960: ***** DAC960 RAID Driver Version 2.4.11 of 11 October 2001 *****
    DAC960: Copyright 1998-2001 by Leonard N. Zubkoff <lnz@dandelion.com>
    DAC960#0: Unknown Initialization Error FB for Controller at
    DAC960#0: PCI Bus 1 Device 10 Function 0 I/O Address 0x9000 PCI Address 0x0

...

And now, i found out how to solve this problem...

I tried a second Mylex DAC960 Controller to get work... flashed firmware to 2.73 form http://www.mylex.com and tryed to boot and it works...

The difference between the two controllers is that the first was "Revision B" and the second is "Revision D". That's all and now it works fine...
