thanks
Hi Jonas and Erik, ...
First let me tell you that i think this hack is absolutely not the way to
solve this, the right way would be to fix the via driver, and it is a kernel
bug, not a yaird bug, so please don't add ugly yaird hacks like that to hide
kernel bugs, especially if those hacks break things on non-x86 as is the case
here.
Anyway, here is a patch which will allow to unbreak this on pegasos at least,
please apply the below patch asap, as it makes all kernels uninstallable on
powerpc/pegasos, which is *not* a nice thing.
Friendly,
Sven Luther
