Hi there!

I just compiled a new kernel ( version 2.4.23-rc5 ) from linux-mips
cvs tree. I applied your patch and it works just fine for me.
Did somebody ever try e.g. an Iomega Zip drive or something like that?


@vincent: I´ll drop you a mail with the promised trace.log as soon as i can.

regards,

Stefan
