I just started again from a totally clean
tree and patches, but it failed in the same
way. Never mind - I hacked around it by
adding #define __NO_VERSION__ at the top
of sd_ioctl.c.
Is RAID 5 stable for you? Building a RAID
array on two AdvanSys 940 SCSI controllers
with 6 Barracuda drives gives a couple of
very nasty oopses, which I have yet to decode
because they have rendered the machine totally
unbootable :-(
