Yup, the qla2xxx driver is seeing that that particluar "embedded" card's nvram does not contain a valid wwpn (world wide port name, the FC analog of Ethernet's MAC address) so it complained, but still allowed operation.Quote:

Helloo Joe,
You mean unix I think.
Linux is like kind but not the same.

Think Ross Perot!
Hint, Ross Perot put up the majority of the venture capital for Steve Jobs's NeXT computer project in 1986.
Nothing hacked from a PC, it's just a custom written embedded OS by GM/Delphi.Quote:

I think Ross Perot did what Bill Gates did to the guy who invented DOS, purchased the system for peanuts and then Sold it to GM for 3 Billion. He also sold his company that ran the book keeping for Medicare to GM. The Company was called EDS, I think. That was the same company that GM also used the system they got from EDS for their EFI OBD, Right?
