This is in reply to an earlier thread,
"aic7xxx problem on linux-2.4.0-test10-pre1".
If you play hr eject an audio cd-rom from gtcd (a GNOME cd player), you
get an oops like the one mentioned. I just wanted to confirm that Jens'
one-liner patch fixes the problem for me.
The aic7xxx driver was i
Allow parts of drivers/mtd to compile on uml by pushing the HAS_IOMEM
dependencies down closer to the parts of mtd that actually need it. This
allows enough of mtd to build to let jffs2 be used on uml.

I'm looking for a way to do FIBMAP on linux 2.4 without being root, and

I've set up a Pioneer 305S scsi dvd-rom on an old adaptec card using the
stock aic7xxx driver included with the 2.4.4 kernel (not the old_aic7xxx
one). Everything works well, except when trying to access an encrypted
file on a DVD. This ioctl from libcss fails:

I spoke too soon. I checked more carefully, and thi

Push the "depends on HAS_IOMEM" in mtd down closer to the parts that
actually need it. This allows enough of mtd to build to let jffs2 be
used on uml.
