Bug report bounced + bug report

[Han Holl]

Hi,

I tried to report a bug in kernel 2.2.23 to Alan.Cox@linux.org, as instructed
by the 2.2.23 documents, but got a bounce message:                       
                       The Postfix program

<Alan.Cox@linux.org>: Name service error for domain linux.org: Host found but
    no data record of requested type

Here is the bug report:

Subject: Cannot boot Compaq Smart Array 532 with grub on 2.2.23

Hi,

Well, subject says it all really. Here is a (minimal) patch:

Nothing wrong with it, but the kernel nowdays really expects the translation
to be done by the bootloader. Lilo gets this right, Grub it seems does not
know about it.
