As I understand the issue, the name change will be reverted for 2.4.x.
This is sensible, because 'sd_mod' is hard-coded in modutils (I use version
2.3.11) and therefore that package would have to be updated as well
(with an '#ifdef version >= 2.4.0test2' or such thing).
But there is a real problem remaining:
In the beginning, all looks good.
# modprobe sd
# lsmod
sd 10240 0 (unused)
aic7xxx 129428 0 (unused)
scsi_mod 88432 2 [sd aic7xxx]
# mount /mo
#
Hmmm...
# rmmod sd
Segmentation fault
# insmod -V
insmod version 2.3.11
Modutils not recent enough? I understand that the 'sd' driver is often not
compiled as a module. I'll give a more precise bug report as soon as I get
familiar with ksymoops.
Failure (as expected):
# rmmod sd
...
# mount /mo
mount: /dev/sda has wrong major or minor number
Ok, anyway, this has to be reverted at the right place...
