I applied the patch against 2.6.24-gentoo-r4, the current kernel on this machine. It worked fine, with only an offset of 12 lines. Nothing unusual during compile either. The first results are hopeful: I am no longer able to trigger this bug by loading sym53c8xx before sungem, nor by having them both loaded by udev. Nothing odd in dmesg and the machine is completely functional. I don't have much time for testing today, but if desired I will gladly do some more testing tomorrow or Sunday. -- Jos van der Ende
