Notes on some kernel tests of 2.4.0test1-ac6/7.

On 2.4.0test1-ac6, I have the 2940 driver included, not
as a module. At boot time, I get a SCSI timeout waiting
for target error. This reminds me of some 2940 problems
a long time ago (in the 2.1 series). 2.3.99-pre5 works
fine (my last tested kernel). The configuration is nearly
identical between 2.3.99-pre5 and 2.4.0test1-ac6.

On 2.4.0test-ac6, the name given to the module directory
is ac5, not ac6. This was fixed with ac7.

When I try to build ac7, at link time I get an undefined
symbol:

        drivers/ide/idedriver.o: in function: ide_unregister
        undefined ref. to ide_release_dma

Cheers,
