[parisc-linux] lasi_82596.ko: falsely claims to have parameter debug -- fixed

[Andrew Gaylard]

Hello PA people,

Some time ago, Joe Enemaker posted to the list with this problem:
(
http://lists.parisc-linux.org/pipermail/parisc-linux/2006-September/030279.html
)

   modprobe lasi_82596

yields:  "Invalid argument"

     insmod lasi_82596.ko

gives:  "falsely claims to have parameter debug"
        ".... Invalid parameters"

Yesterday, the same thing happened to me during an install of Gentoo.
The workaround is to edit the binary file:

xxd /lib/modules/2.6.16.18-pa11-livecd32/kernel/drivers/net/lasi_82596.ko | \
 sed -e 's/0004960: 6465 6275 6700 0000 0000/0004960: 6935 3936 5f64
6562 7567/' | \
 xxd -r > /tmp/lasi_82596.ko.

insmod /tmp/lasi_82596.ko

It would be great if the Gentoo people could fix the installation CD...

Cheers,
Andrew
