Hello,
After another hard drive failure, I invested in a Promise Fastrack
TX2000 IDE Raid Controller, which supposedly works under Linux. Promise
has released several different versions of drivers, but none for
Mandrake 10, and I can't get any of the others to work. They've also
released source code, and I'm trying to compile for my system, but I get
warnings and and an error. I've managed to fix the warnings by making
slight modifications to some of the .c files, but I can't get rid of the
error:
*******************************************************
[root@mail fasttrack]# make clean all
rm -f FastTrak.o wrapper.o fasttrak.o ftlog.o
gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2
-fomit-frame-pointer -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common -pipe
-mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -march=i586 -DMODULE -c wrapper.c
wrapper.c: In function `ft_handler_wrapper':
wrapper.c:97: error: `io_request_lock' undeclared (first use in this
function)
wrapper.c:97: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
wrapper.c:97: error: for each function it appears in.)
make: *** [wrapper.o] Error 1
*********************************************************
Here is the snippet of code that I assume is causing the error in wrapper.c:
*********************************************************
void ft_handler_wrapper(int irq, void *dev_id, struct pt_regs *regs) {
/* channel driver is system independent so it does not
need pt_regs structure */
ulong smpflag;
spin_lock_irqsave(&io_request_lock,smpflag);
ft_handler(irq, dev_id);
spin_unlock_irqrestore(&io_request_lock,smpflag);
*********************************************************
But not being a programmer, I have no idea how to fix it. Do I need to
declare io_request_lock as some kind of variable? Or is it declared in
something referenced in the #include statements?
I downloaded the source code from
http://www.promise.com/support/download/download2_eng.asp?productId=88&category=driver&os=100
There are two versions of the souce code, I've tried to compile both,
with the same results.
I've called Promise, and left a message with their tech support, but I
doubt they'll bother to call back...
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Doug
