I compile kernel with 2.7.2.3.
In any case, the different behavior of 2.7.2.3 and egcs compiled drivers may
be the driver problem, like unspotted time-critical operations, or
insufficient barriers. I would like to get more confirmations if it
really works with 2.7.2.3. If so, I will compare the assembly code and try
to figure out what the problem is.
Best regards
