Hi,
I need some help to get my FC6 booting from the disks attached to the aic94xx-Controller. It seems using kernel 2.6.19 the firmware for this hardware is not longer included in the kernel driver and has to be loaded somehow from extern. Does anyone know how to do this in the initrd?
My first idea was to copy the aic94xx-seq.fw to any possible location but with no success, I still get the error:
Failed to load sequencer firmware file aic94xx-seq.fw, error -2
followed by a kernel panic because the root-fs is unaccessable.
