Re: [BUG 2.6.0-test10] SCSI update in CSET 1.1437.1.2 caused 'Badness'

[Mike Anderson <andmike@us.ibm.com>]

This patch in the linux-scsi archives should remove this badness
warning.
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-scsi&m=106940008217622&w=2

It should apply cleanly to test10. I am just updating my view now to
test10 so I have not tested the patch on test10 yet.

I did not have it refreshed in time from James to include it in his
last update.
