Hi Santiago,

As I didn't get any ideas on what to do to help find the problem with the
dl2k driver, I'm doing some tests to get to know what has broken it.
I have today compiled dl2k from git, the version with the 2007-12-23 patches
from Al Viro: dl2k endianness fixes (.24 fodder?) Right before the Al Viro
patches. This seems to be working perfectly on my system.
I thought about those patches when you reported your problem but they
looked correct at first glance, and generally Al is known for pushing
clean and valid work.
I'm wondering if I can apply the patches by Al Viro one by one to know which
one broke it.
Yes it should be possible, people generally try to push incrementally
valid patches. Please CC Al with your findings. Maybe you'll get him
caught with a bug in his fixes, but get prepared to get fried on your
chair if you're wrong :-)
It is also possible that the code he fixed was really buggy but worked
because of another bug remaining somewhere else.
Regards,
Willy
