I took the same 3.18.0-rc1-00422-g2cc9188-dirty kernel that had just this patch reverted, it started the controller fine, detected disk, mounted root, started multiple tasks and then some time after startin exim it just hangs. This is consisten with what I saw during bisection. -- Meelis Roos (mroos@xxxxxxxx) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
