Greg, One further thing is that I noticed that the file cciss.mod.c file was not created. When I did a full make modules before this file was compiled into cciss.mod.o which was then linked with cciss.o to make the cciss.ko module. I am wondering if you know the purpose of the cciss.mod.c file which is created by the kernel. When I looked at it seemed to contain version information. I will keep testing either way, but I would love to understand why this has changed in the 2.6 kernel if you happen to know.
