Subject: [Patch 1/1] cciss: bug fix, prevent cciss from loading in kdump kernel
Date: Mon, 15 Apr 2013 12:59:06 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130415175906.GA16955@beardog.cce.hp.com> (raw)
Patch 1/1
If hpsa is selected as the Smart Array driver cciss may try to load in the
kdump kernel. When this happens kdump fails and a core file cannot be created.
This patch prevents cciss from trying to load in this scenario. This effects
primarily older Smart Array controllers.
