[ Bug #3 ] Using the ps2mc.o driver will lock the kernel at times

Resolution:
None

Summary:
Using the ps2mc.o driver will lock the kernel at times

Original Submission:
Mounting memory cards will lock the kernel (but only when the system is cleaning itself up for reboot). There were several kernel API changes from 2.2.1 to 2.2.20 in the mm and fs layers. The ps2mc.o driver still uses the old 2.2.1 mm/fs calls for invalidate_buffers and destroy_buffers. We wish there was a way around this, but without the ps2mc.o driver source, our hands are tied...
