Description Gregg Lebovitz 2001-03-02 01:36:48 UTC 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.76 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.16-22 i586)


The seagate driver is compatible with the TMC-950 scsi controller in the
Dell Latitude Advanced Port Replicator , but is missing the correct device
signature string.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.load linux on a Dell Latitude laptop
2.attach the APR with a TMC-950 scsi control
3.type modprobe seagate
	

Actual Results:  seagate control does not find the TMC-950 controller

Expected Results:  the obvious result

I have seen this complaint appear on various message boards. Since the fix
is so easy, I thought I would supply it to you.

Thanks for the bug report. However, Red Hat no longer maintains this version of
the product. Please upgrade to the latest version and open a new bug if the problem
persists.

The Fedora Legacy project (http://fedoralegacy.org/) maintains some older releases, 
and if you believe this bug is interesting to them, please report the problem in
the bug tracker at: http://bugzilla.fedora.us/
