Mark, Jordan > It this adding functionality to 3.x brefore 4.x? If so, it should not be... No need to worry. I should have written a change log like this:- "Add extra sanity checking to prevent kernel panics with SMP kernels" The change is a bug fix. SMP kernels currently panic if they contain the pccard driver due to a problem in the pccard probe code. The change prevents the panic occuring. Back in December I found the problem and solved it with a 1 line fix (7 if you include the #ifdefs and #include lines) I posted it to -mobile and put it on my FTP site. I should have raised a PR. Oops. I then improved the patch and committed it to 4.x-current. Bruce then pointed out all the places the 'improved' patch was broken. I would fix -current now, but Warner is currently fix it for the newbus, so there is little point until he is finished. But after talking to Bruce, I decided to go back to the simple patch for the 3.x commit.
