That would be great if you can. If you want I can send you the config, if you want to make resulting binary? Because it's a two fold deal. Here I only have the one AMD64 machine, and must cross compile on a 32bit proc to build a 64bit kernel. So if I got the route of setting up a CentOS box I will have to do it on x86, and make sure it has a cross compiler for x86_64. Might see if I can find a local CentOS user to help with the compiling a custom x86_64 kernel. If I had the $ I would pay some for the their time. But then again if I had the $ I would ditch the Adaptec 1420sa for a 3Ware or Hight Point solution that has open source drivers ;) Thanks for the reply and offer to help. It's greatly appreciated, and if I can return the favor will definitely do so. -- Sincerely, William L. Thomson Jr. Obsidian-Studios, Inc. http://www.obsidian-studios.com
