James, Thanks for correcting that. Did you also applied 2/5, 3/5 and 4/5 patches? By the way, I always use checkpatch.pl to check the patch before I attach the patch to the e-mail. Also I just went to the 5/5 patch to verify the patch: the steps: 1. go to http://marc.info/?l=linux-scsi&m=128688974201201&w=2 2. click: ["megasas-version.patch" (application/octet-stream)] to download this patch. 3. Used the checkpatch.pl to check (I used the cmd: "checkpatch.pl --no-tree megasas-version.patch") It looks OK for me (no errors). It is maybe the checkpatch.pl I used does not get updated or some steps are not correct. I will find out the updated one to try and find out the reasons.
