Subject: Re: [-next Nov 25] eHEA driver failure during boot(bisected)

Hi Sachin,

thanks for the information. I tried to reproduce it on our machine, but 
when I "insmod" the module, I don't hit this problem with the code from 
latest -next git head.
What compiler and which .config did you use? Any special options enabled?

Thanks,
Jan-Bernd
