The patch titled Altix snsc: duplicate kobject fix has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is altix-snsc-duplicate-kobject-fix.patch See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this from: Greg Howard <ghoward@xxxxxxx> Fix Altix system controller (snsc) device names to include the slot number of the blade whose associated system controller is the target of the device interface. Including the slot number avoids a problem we're currently having where slots within the same enclosure are attempting to create multiple kobjects with identical names.
