Daniel, why does your machine need this patch, yet as per Dave's comments, it's wrong? I think it might come down to the fact that the ordering before used to not always happen in the same order (it depended on config options and linker luck.) Now it's "fixed" to be the same way all the time. Daniel, can't you solve this with the proper pci boot option? thanks, greg k-h - 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/
