>Description:
Any kernel with option FAILSAFE turn on will not work without
ncrcontrol.c compiled with FAILSAFE (or for that matter ANY
other options that change the size of the struct ?cb {} in pci/ncr.c
or the version of the NCR driver.)
>How-To-Repeat:
Compile a kernel with -DFAILSAFE.
try to run ncrcontrol and fails with:
"ncrcontrol: incompatible with kernel. Rebuild!"
recompile ncrcontrol with -DFAILSAFE and it works.
>Fix:
I don't know.
Any way of Having ncrcontrol look at "INCLUDE_CONFIG" in the kernel?
And regen itself? (I doubt it)
Maybe change the error message to be more like:
"Size of ncr kernel structures differ from running kernel? Check
running kernel options to insure ncrcontrol is compiled with identical
settings?"
