Subject: AACRAID & Kernel-2.4.17-pre8

Hello,

After applying patch-2.4.17-pre8 on the stock kernel-2.4.16 and
recompiling with AACRAID enabled and rebooting, all goes well except for
the tons and tons of the following messages which appears whenever I
typed DMESG at the shell prompt. The machine in question is a dual CPU
Dell PowerEdge 2550 with an AACRAID controller in place.

Does anyone know how to get rid of these messages or are they indicative
of some bugs in the system?

Many thanks in advance for any advice or help.

At the top of linux/drivers/scsi/aacraid/aacraid.h:
#define dprintk(x) printk x

Change that to be:
#define dprintk(x)

Thanks,
Matt

I left debugging on in error. I've sent Marcelo the diff to turn it back
off (top line of aacraid.h)
