Hi

Basically I have a problem with veritas netbackup 5.1 and our tape
library. Communication may be the cause of teh problem. All
communication goes thorugh the SCSi card adaptech 29160, one of the
suggested solutions was to upgrade the adaptec driver. I've managed to
get the source code but I'm stuck as to what to do next. I ran make
but it said no rule to make /Rule.make. I did make aic7xxx and it just
bailed out with errors. Adaptec said refer to  linux documentation for
build instructions. I've searched the web but I can't find anything
useful. So you guys are my last resort.

Mnay Thanks
Shahzad
