Most of these are SCSI issues and the last one makes -test10 hard to debug.
* MESH gets SLAB errors during startup, CDROM eject * "mac53c94: module license 'unspecified' taints kernel." * "53C94 did not call scsi_unregister" [sorry, should have filed bug report] * 'swim3.c' doesn't compile properly * Switching from X to text console ('controlfb' frame buffer) loses video sync.
The 53C94 problems probably aren't hard to fix. For the floppy code (that is, 'swim3.c'), 'benh' has a version of 'swim3' which may only need further testing. The MESH issue looks like a buffer alignment problem, and worked without complaint in the 2.4 kernels.
The video mode problem is a real nuisance and is the biggest reason i'm not doing more than intermittent testing of 2.6.0/PPC.

P.S. I came across a large pile of floppies during a massive cleanup (why i've been so busy) and i can run some more tests of the 'swim3' code after the Thanksgiving break. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
