Oops on alpha while loading aic7xxx driver

[Mathieu Chouquet-Stringer]

	Hi,

I just freshly compiled 2.6.6 using gcc 3.4.0 (built as a cross-compiler on
i386) and the kernel oopses when it loads the module for the Adaptec scsi
card. As a side note, it works when the driver is built-in.

Here's the decoded oops:
=============>8=============>8=============>8=============>8=============>8
ksymoops 2.4.9 on alpha 2.6.6-rc3.  Options used
     -v vmlinux (specified)
     -k kallsyms (specified)
     -l modules (specified)
     -o /lib/modules/2.6.6 (specified)
     -m /boot/System-map-2.6.6 (specified)
     -x

Warning (read_ksyms): no kernel symbols in ksyms, is kallsyms a valid ksyms file?

=============>8=============>8=============>8=============>8=============>8

Using objdump, kallsyms, I've been able to pinpoint the problem. The
closest function to fffffffc000beb74 is ahc_pci_config:
fffffffc000be5c0 t ahc_pci_config       [aic7xxx]
fffffffc000c02e0 t ahc_pci_intr [aic7xxx]

At the address fffffffc000beb74, we're in check_extport (called by
ahc_pci_config).

Here's the output of objdump (see how it matches the output of ksymoops):

/usr/src/kernel/linux-2.5/drivers/scsi/aic7xxx/aic7xxx_pci.c:1359
    22bc:       1f 04 ff 47     nop

    22d4:       00 00 22 a0     ldl     t0,0(t1)
    22d8:       06 00 20 e4     beq     t0,22f4 <ahc_pci_config+0x5d4>

fffffffc000beb74 is really 22d4. The interesting thing is the portion of C
code involved: 
1364:                if (bootverbose)
1365:                        printf("%s: Reading SEEPROM...", ahc_name(ahc));

So it looks like it chokes on bootverbose, any idea why?
