Or maybe sysfs isn't. Recent ide-generic fix from Borislav (to not probe automatically IDE PCI hardware) should alleviate the first problem (it is in pata tree and in linux-next): http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/bart/pata-2.6/patches/ide-generic-handle-probing-of-legacy-io-ports-v5.patch The sysfs OOPS (which should also be alleviated by the above fix) is a bit more worrisome as it may hide some new bug. > I'm willing to try to bisect this, but maybe it's not necessary? If it is not too much work, please do (from the description of the issue it seems it can be scripted into 'git bisect run' nicely).
