Subject: Re: [PATCH 2.6.27.3 usbcore] Move __module_param_call(nousb) toimmediately after declaration of nousb.
Hello.
I succeeded to produce this problem with 2.6.26 .
Thus, at least, it is not a new bug introduced in 2.6.27 .

I think so too.

I think Security Support for Debian Sarge terminated on March 31st 2008.

Thus, it is likely that nobody is using gcc (GCC) 3.3.5 (Debian 1:3.3.5-13).

Here is the patch for 2.6.26.7 and 2.6.27.3 .
But... please check this patch carefully. It seems that something is wrong.

Did I make a mistake in the above patch?
I tested after applying the above patch, and all results are wrong.

Well, I'm getting more and more confused.
It may be gcc3's bug, it may not be gcc's bug.
