Gerard, et al,
I applied this patch to 124pre-2 and built a kernel for my problem Alpha
UDB box. Much better! Rather than blowing up with incessant 'time out'
messages (with power-down the only recovery option), it intermittantly
spits out a slew of them and bounces back for more.
Interestingly, I had these occur even with the 2.0f driver retrofitted
into 124p2. There must have been a change somewhere to aggravate the
problem.
In sum, I have a working Alpha kernel with 3.0i, but it'd be nice to find
out why the time-outs are occuring.
This is the first 2.1.x kernel with 3.x ncr driver that can survive
through two consecutive kernel builds!
