You know, the funny thing is, the mac_esp.c driver states the following: /* * Function : mac_esp_setup(char *str) * * Purpose : booter command line initialization of the overrides array, * * Inputs : str - parameters, separated by commas. * * Currently unused in the new driver; need to add settable parameters to the * detect function. * */ I checked back, it seems to have stated this as far back as I can find (2.2 kernels)... And I indeed don't see setup_disconnect being referenced anywhere else in the driver. So how this can make a difference is beyond me... Unless of course the Mac CVS tree has differences not submitted to the main m68k CVS tree... <some time later> Indeed, it does. And indeed the Mac CVS version _does_ do something with the setup_disconnect parameter. Not surprising it doesn't work too well with 2.6 kernels then... Kind regards, Kars.
