[Aurora-sparc-user] qlogicpti module on aurora 2.0 beta2 installation

[Barry Gaskins]

   Did you mean that you have a Sparc 5 with the 170 MHz processor?  I think
that the problem is the processor is not supported.  It is not the same any
other sparc processor.  I dont think it has anything to do with your raid
array.
    Read this in the aurorafaq:
