No problem, Marcelo and thanks very much for the reply.
I just switched to your 2.4.17-pre2 kernel and updated my patches
accordingly (attached).
Here is the log of sym-2 driver changes (patch #2):
* version sym-2.1.17
- Fix a couple of gcc/gcc3 warnings.
- Allocate separately from the HCB the array for CCBs hashed by DSA.
All driver memory allocations are now not greater than 1 PAGE
even on PPC64 / 4KB PAGE surprising setup.
* version sym-2.1.17a
- Use u_long instead of U32 for the IO base cookie. This is more
consistent with what archs are expecting.
- Use MMIO per default for Power PC instead of some fake normal IO,
as Paul Mackerras stated that MMIO works fine now on this arch.
There are no real fixes. Most changes are conveniences for PPCs.
The patch #1 that updates my email address is more important since my old
email address will be no longer valid in a couple of weeks. This patch
also adds an entry in MAINTAINERS, btw.

This may well have happened between linux-2.4.9 and linux-2.4.10. :)

Will do, thanks. But in fact, I just wanted to read something from Alan
about the maintainance baton being passed to you and I have been supplied
an URL that fitted just fine.
Regards,
Gérard.
