Oops, didn't even notice that, I'll get that updated. Thanks.

As you can probably tell, SGI is focussing on 2.6, heavily. We keep
the 2.4 part of the tree moving forward, but its a very low priority.
However, this EIO issue does sound alot like the sort of thing you
should be able to track down pretty easily yourself (with a few deft
printk placements...). If you can narrow it down a bit (to the spot
that starts propogating EIO back out to userspace), that'd be a big
step towards fixing this.
cheers.
