>Description:
GENERIC has an entry for "asr", but does not have "options ASR_COMPAT". If a card (in my case, Adaptec 3210S) using the asr driver is installed, the GENREIC kernel will panic when the OS goes multi-user (perhaps fsck starts?)
>How-To-Repeat:
Simply attempt to boot i386 GENERIC on an INTEL/AMD 32 bit system with one of the asr supported cards installed. Probably need a disk attached to the controller as well.
>Fix:
Add "options ASR_COMPAT" to the GENERIC kernel directives. I'd suggest adding a mention of ASR_COMPAT to the asr man page as well.
