Subject: Areca driver 2.6.19 on x86_64

We have a problem with the new areca driver included
in kernel tree 2.6.19.

During the boot sequence we get this
output:

........................
Loading arcmsr.ko module

and keeps looping through all luns with different
values of ccd at each loop.
Till kernel panics because of the lack of root
device.

Here is our specs:
HW used:
ARC1220
ARC1110
on Supermicro X6DH8-XG2, Dual Xeon
3.0GHz

OS distro used:
CentOS 4.4 x86_64
Kernel 2.6.19 with hand-crafted config, that we are
able to use successfully with kernel 2.6.16.20.

Have you any suggestions to resolve this issue ?

Thanks in advance,
Filip Majewski
