I don't believe that v1.09 (as in Red Hat Linux 7) has this problem, but
does have fixes over-and-above 1.07 (particularly, 1.07 and v1.08 touch
user-space inappropriately, 1.09 fixes).  If PeterJ can't get to it before
2.2.18final, Alan, would you consider putting in the v1.09 driver?

Thanks,
Matt

I've tried the AMI patch and it appears to work. I'm now running
2.2.18pre18 + fix to ideprobe.c + ami megaraid fix and it looks OK

Here's the patch.
