When I load the PPA module, this happens:
root://$ cd /proc
root:/proc/$ cd scsi
root:/proc/scsi/$ ls -la
total 0
dr-xr-xr-x 4 root root 0 May 7 10:10 .
dr-xr-xr-x 18 root root 0 May 7 10:09 ..
dr-xr-xr-x 2 root root 0 May 7 10:10 aic7xxx

The aic7xxx entry gets totally baked. I am trying to compile both as
modules right now. Is this a known problem? Is it a PPA problem with
not handling the different cases of module registration right, or a
more general problem affecting any SCSI module that tries to register
when there are already SCSI devices compiled in? I'll try to figure
it out once I get running again.
Also, (this is totally unrelated) why does upgrading from 2.1.19 to
2.1.36 make login fail on chown of /dev/tty?
