I had a look at the current Debian 2.6.27 source and applied your patch
manually against it.
It will take me a few hours to compile the new kernel and I should be
able to test it in about 7 hours time.
Thanks again,
Arthur.

I've recently installed Debian on a PII-266 machine with DPT2044W SCSI
controller.
Kernels 2.6.18-2.6.22 work fine, and kernels 2.6.23-2.6.27 lock up after
loading the eata module using modprobe, with the error:
modprobe exited with preempt_count 1
I've run a git bisection and have a few more passes to go, but suspect
the commit in the subject line,
[58e2a02eb18393e76a469580fedf7caec190eb5e] [SCSI] eata: convert to use
the data buffer accessors
to be the patch which triggers the problem.
I'm not a C programmer, let alone a kernel programmer, but can build and
check any suggested patches.
Is anyone successfully using the eata module since the data buffer
accessors patch?
Is anyone able to examine the code to see if anything was done wrong in
the data buffer accessors patch?
Sorry about the problem. Can you try this patch?
