Dang, again. :) > It is very hard to see how this CONFIG option can make a difference. > Have you double checked that setting it removed the problem and > clearing it causes the problem? Yes, it seems odd to me too, but I have double-checked. If I build a kernel with CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED enabled, it works; if I disable that option and rebuild the kernel, it locks up. I just tried running 'make defconfig' and then enabling only RAID, RAID-0, RAID-1, and RAID-4/5/6. If I then disable CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED, there aren't any problems. ...so, I'll try to isolate the problem some more later.
