An alternative approach would be to ensure that hpsa is loaded first. Then when cciss tries to control a device it will fail to acquire that devices's PCI regions and will bale out in an orderly manner. I don't know how we can reliably arrange for hpsa to execute first, but I'm sure someone does ;) Unless CONFIG_CCISS=y, CONFIG_HPSA=m. Then we're screwed. -- 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/
