Re: Cleanup kbuild for aic7xxx

Well let me put it this way, I have in no way selected 'rebuild
firmware' and several of my freshly untarred/patched to kernels are
broken in that they won't compile, why? lex not found.

Currently I'm pretty bothered because for any of numerous reasons now, I
can't get the blasted aic7xxx support in any 2.4 kernel to work. I'm a
little tweaked because my distro is based on 2.4 functionality and I'm
stuck on square 0 just trying to boot.

Several people have made reports about 2.4 and aic7xxx wrt to OOPSes,
failure to boot, and hanging and there's very little response to this.
To this point I have two machines stuck in 2.2 which desperately need
upgraded but I can't upgrade the kernel because the aic code is tragic.

Pardon my frustration,
David
