Hi list, Hi Andrew,

I cannot boot 2.6.17-rc4-mm1 because my rootdisk is a scsi disk and upon
scsi-init (SYM53C8XX_2) I'm getting:

May 19 15:39:55 prinz sym0: <895> rev 0x1 at pci 0000:02:09.0 irq 161

I have backed out drivers-scsi-use-array_size-macro.patch, but to no
avail. There are other scsi-related patches in the broken-out
mm-directory, any hint which one to try first? Sometimes they're dependent
on each other, so I find it not easy to just "patch -R" all "*scsi*.patch"
files.

Please see http://www.nerdbynature.de/bits/2.6.17-rc4-mm1/  for a
netsconsole-dmesg for 2.6.17-rc4 (working fine) and a the -mm1.

I've tried different .configs for -mm1, created with:

- yes ''  | make oldconfig (config-2.6-mm.2.6.17-rc4-mm1.oldconfig_default)
- yes 'N' | make oldconfig (config-2.6-mm.2.6.17-rc4-mm1.oldconfig_no)
- make oldlconfig (interactive, config-2.6-mm.2.6.17-rc4-mm1.oldconfig_my)

Thanks,
Christian.
