Summary0001296: Please create a kernel module for the aic-79xx driver which no longer exists in the version 8 kernel
DescriptionThe aic-79xx driver was present in the version 7 kernels but was removed in version 8.

Creating a kernel module for this driver would provide support for the Adaptec Ultra320 SCSI adapters in general but specifically the ASC-29320LPE PCIe SCSI adapter. This adapter is important as it is one of very few PCI-e SCSI adapters that were supported in the version 7 kernels at a time when PCI slots are fast disappearing from motherboards.

The following package has been built and is currently syncing to our mirrors:

kmod-aic79xx-7.0-3.el8_7.elrepo.x86_64.rpm

Please let us know if this works.

That works correctly, thank you.
Now the tape backup can run at max speed.
