Hi James, calling 'rmmod aic79xx' (with my previous patch) results in an interesting internal state dump of the adapter itself. Problem is that at the time of calling sd_shutdown() the dv_thread for this adapter is already stopped so that no command processing will be done. This confuses the adapter resulting in the state dump. Instead we should unregister any disks first and then shutting down the adapter. Please apply. Btw, any plans to convert aic79xx to spi_transport? Cheers, Hannes -- Dr. Hannes Reinecke hare@suse.de SuSE Linux AG S390 & zSeries Maxfeldstraße 5 +49 911 74053 688 90409 Nürnberg http://www.suse.de
