Remove new configuration API from i2o_config The API-patch is still available from the I2O website (which is mentioned in the kernel config now). It is removed because it creates a new binary sysfs-attribute, which doesn't have the limitiation of 4k. Expect for the Adaptec controllers, which has a limitation in the hardware this attribute doesn't make sense anywhere else. Until the sysfs API provides an attribute which doesn't buffer (like firmware) and let access to at least 64k blocks i provide a separate patch... (akpm: basically, this API was introduced post-2.6.12 and Markus wants to pull it out before 2.6.13).

---help---
|
|
The Intelligent Input/Output (I2O) architecture allows hardware
|
|
drivers to be split into two parts: an operating system specific
|
|
module called the OSM and an hardware specific module called the
|
|
HDM. The OSM can talk to a whole range of HDM's, and ideally the
|
|
HDM's are not OS dependent. This allows for the same HDM driver to
|
|
be used under different operating systems if the relevant OSM is in
|
|
place. In order for this to work, you need to have an I2O interface
|
|
adapter card in your computer. This card contains a special I/O
|
|
processor (IOP), thus allowing high speeds since the CPU does not
|
|
have to deal with I/O.
|
|
|
|
If you say Y here, you will get a choice of interface adapter
|
|
drivers and OSM's with the following questions.
|
|
|
|
To compile this support as a module, choose M here: the
|
|
modules will be called i2o_core.
|
|

|
If unsure, say N.

default y
|
|
---help---
|
|
Say Y for support of raidutils for Adaptec I2O controllers. You also
|
|
have to say Y to "I2O Configuration support", "I2O SCSI OSM" below
|
|
and to "SCSI generic support" under "SCSI device configuration".

default y
|

---help---
|
|
Say Y for support of 64-bit DMA transfer mode on Adaptec I2O
|
|
controllers.
|
|
Note: You need at least firmware version 3709.
|
|
|
|
config I2O_CONFIG
|

tristate "I2O Configuration support"
|
|
depends on I2O
|
|
---help---
|
|
Say Y for support of the configuration interface for the I2O adapters.
|
|
If you have a RAID controller from Adaptec and you want to use the
|
|
raidutils to manage your RAID array, you have to say Y here.
|
|
|
|
To compile this support as a module, choose M here: the
|
|
module will be called i2o_config.
|
|
|

Note: If you want to use the new API you have to download the

|
i2o_config patch from http://i2o.shadowconnect.com/

config I2O_BUS

tristate "I2O Bus Adapter OSM"
|

depends on I2O
|
|
---help---
|
|
Include support for the I2O Bus Adapter OSM. The Bus Adapter OSM
|
|
provides access to the busses on the I2O controller. The main purpose
|
|
is to rescan the bus to find new devices.
|
|
|
|
To compile this support as a module, choose M here: the

module will be called i2o_bus.

config I2O_BLOCK
|
|
tristate "I2O Block OSM"
|
|
depends on I2O
|
|
---help---
|
|
Include support for the I2O Block OSM. The Block OSM presents disk
|
|
and other structured block devices to the operating system. If you
|
|
are using an RAID controller, you could access the array only by
|
|
the Block OSM driver. But it is possible to access the single disks
|
|
by the SCSI OSM driver, for example to monitor the disks.
|
|
|
|
To compile this support as a module, choose M here: the
|
|
module will be called i2o_block.
|
|
|
|
config I2O_SCSI
|
|
tristate "I2O SCSI OSM"
|
|
depends on I2O && SCSI
|
|
---help---
|
|
Allows direct SCSI access to SCSI devices on a SCSI or FibreChannel
|
|
I2O controller. You can use both the SCSI and Block OSM together if
|
|
you wish. To access a RAID array, you must use the Block OSM driver.
|
|
But you could use the SCSI OSM driver to monitor the single disks.
|
|
|
|
To compile this support as a module, choose M here: the
|
|
module will be called i2o_scsi.
|
|
|

config I2O_PROC

tristate "I2O /proc support"
|

|
|
---help---
|
|
If you say Y here and to "/proc file system support", you will be
|
|
able to read I2O related information from the virtual directory
|
|
/proc/i2o.
|
|
|
|
To compile this support as a module, choose M here: the

module will be called i2o_proc.
