It works on 2.4.18 just fine. So if it fails on 2.4.19 it is a kernel
regression. I will take a look at 2.4.19 shortly, and see what the
confusion is. But if this is a kernel regression, the kernel needs
fixing not LinuxBIOS. The configuration is 100% valid.
Ron could you provide a little more detailed report of the practical
problem you are seeing? Where does it blow up? A console log of a
good and a bad bootup would be ideal. I want to make certain when I
attempt to reproduce this that I actually am seeing the problem you
are seeing. Unless I borrow one of the nodes on Pink I cannot
exactly replicate what you are seeing...
