I read about this in the LWN.net Kernel pages for may 17th. I figured that once it was in, everything would automagically be using it too (i.e. the drivers wouldn't need to be updated to the new system). Guess I was a tad naïve about that. I tried 2.6.17-rc5-mm2 and ran into some BUG()s which went away when I just stuck to 2.6.17-rc5. > I would repost your problem to the lkml-ide list and see if they think > that the new EH should help you, and when/if your controller will be > using the new EH infrastructure. Looks like a good idea, thanks! Don't let that keep anybody on this list who might have an explanation for this be deterred from responding though. :) > Also, there is a ton of testing going on with the new EH, so if your > willing to be a guinea pig, I'm sure you will get a lot of support > from the dev. team and get your specific driver updated ASAP. I've been sitting on a non-functional array for almost 3 months now. Don't mind having weird issues a little longer if it means things will end up working nicely in the end (or I at least get a sensible explanation for what's wrong, so I know what I must do to fix it).
