2.4.0-prerel-ac1: Looking good on Alpha

[Dave Gilbert]

Hi,
  2.4.0-prerelease with the Alan Cox new-year-special ac1 patches is
looking good for me on Alpha (LX164).

  My standard build went just fine; so I decided to push it; I've built in
IPv6, a load of USB stuff, SCSI stuff, and a load of other stuff; loaded
them all as modules, all loaded OK and unloaded OK - haven't actually
stressed any of it.

Just two (1 and a half?) problems:

   1) When doing make modules_install:

depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in
/lib/modules/2.4.0-prerelease-ac1/kernel/drivers/usb/storage/usb-storage.o
depmod:   init_task_union

   2) When I tried to play an audio CD this morning I got:

Jan  1 12:55:48 tardis kernel: hdb: irq timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy }
Jan  1 12:55:54 tardis kernel: hdb: ATAPI reset complete
Jan  1 12:56:04 tardis kernel: hdb: irq timeout: status=0xc0 { Busy }
Jan  1 12:56:10 tardis kernel: hdb: ATAPI reset complete
Jan  1 12:56:20 tardis kernel: hdb: irq timeout: status=0xc0 { Busy }
Jan  1 12:56:20 tardis kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev 03:40 (hdb),
sector 0
Jan  1 12:56:20 tardis kernel: hdb: status timeout: status=0xc0 { Busy }
Jan  1 12:56:20 tardis kernel: hdb: drive not ready for command
Jan  1 12:56:27 tardis kernel: hdb: ATAPI reset complete

Ejected the CD, put it back in and its fine, so I actually suspect the
drive was just having a bad day but its best just to list there was the
problem. (This on a CMD646 on the motherboard).
