Subject: Regress for 8139too in 2.6.20
Date: Sun, 11 Feb 2007 18:03:33 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <45CFAED5.2090808@lwfinger.net> (raw)
In kernel version 2.6.20, my network interface, a Uniden PCN 300 PCMCIA card that uses the 8139too
driver fails to initialize with Yenta and 8139too as modules. It worked correctly in 2.6.19. Using
git bisect, the bad commit is shown below:

8d610dd52dd1da696e199e4b4545f33a2a5de5c6 is first bad commit

Make sure we populate the initroot filesystem late enough
We should not initialize rootfs before all the core initializers have
run. So do it as a separate stage just before starting the regular
driver initializers.

If Yenta is built into the kernel, rather than a module, it works again with 2.6.20.
