 After a quick glance at sources of 2.4.0-test5 i guess this was the cause of
all the problems with my Amiga booting with anything higher that test5 (and i
blamed Michel and pm2fb ;o))) no wonder i couldn't find anything there =o))

 Anyway i'm updating sources to test8 right now.

 Frank Petzold reported on IRC that lp is broken in test7 (as well as scsi
emulation). In self made test5 i couldn't even load modules (modprobe keeps
saying that device is busy; admitedly it;s realy high possible that i screwed
something with modules as i was adding them later)
 Did anyone actually tried to print anything under test7 or higher?

 Jouko big thanks for finding this =o)))
