What? I know Martin has pinged me in the past, but I do not think it was about this issue. If there's multiple sysfs entries for cciss I can't explain that offhand. We do little to nothing for sysfs in the driver. Had something similiar happen recently where "/" changed to "!". Had do to with our nested directory structure, /dev/cciss/name vs /dev/name. But we did not make that change, either.
