I didn't encounter this phenomena, but then, my 0.75 TB raid5 volume is practically empty... For the development phase it would be most useful, if the driver would be available in similar "this will compile for your currently running kernel, or some other you care to name and have its config.h files at hand" as e.g. Nvidia drivers are (except that arcmsr is in "all source form", whereas NV has this magic object blob..) Such would allow (at least for me) to have a wee bit faster cycle with "pick vendor kernel, add this and that custom module" I was apalled to learn that full cycle kernel compilation takes _hours_ these days (Pentium-4 HT, 2.4 GHz, 2 GB memory -- and it is about as slow as my first kernel compilation experience with a 386/33MHz way back in ...) > ... > attempt to access beyond end of device > sdb1: rw=0, want=134744080, limit=128002016 > ... > > I have emailed the details to Erich. > > Chris /Matti Aarnio - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
