Yes... I found that out by looking through the source.. so it explains
why I couldnt install on the ServRAID cards...
SO, for those who want to know... this is what I did:
vi the ips.c in /usr/source/linux-2.4/drivers/scsi/ and I commented out
those lines that are shown below:
Xose Vazquez Perez wrote:
> #if !defined(__i386__) && !defined(__ia64__)
> #error "This driver has only been tested on the x86/ia64 platforms "
> #endif
BTW, you can comment them out by placing a // in front of each line, or
/* before the if line, and a */ after the endif line (for those who dont
know c all that well.)
next, I did the usual kernel compile steps:
make clean
make mrproper
cp configs/ <version >-x86_64.config .config
make menuconfig
turned on the IBM ServRAID support (set to M for module) then:
make dep && make SUBDIRS=drivers/scsi modules
after that ran, copied the newly created ips.o to
/lib/modules/ <version >/kernel/drivers/scsi/
and then insmodded the driver. it worked, saw both the cards and the
raid arrays that were connected to each card.
I am letting it test overnigth to check to see that it will at least
allow read/writes and such, but so far so good, so while YMMV, I dont
see any problem with this driver on an AMD 64.

Officially, yes, but unofficially, no, it does work on an AMD 64.
Hope that helps someone out there...
