Strange bug indeed. Did you have this built statically into the kernel or modular? If statically, the change may have taken your image over the limit for bootable image size on sparc32. If modular, that's very mysterious. The probe code of this driver should not even execute without an actual qlogicpti card in your machine, and that's the only thing really modified here. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe sparclinux" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
