Description carl 2001-02-09 00:20:01 UTC 
If you type in "ibcs2" at the shell prompt it loads up both

ibcs2.ko and
ibcs2_coff.ko

however if you specify "ibcs2_enable="YES" then it only loads
ibcs2.ko.  To get the coff module loaded you have to specify
"ibcs2_loaders="coff".

Fix: Roman Shterenzon <roman@harmonic.co.il> came up with the following patch;



which is *very* simple and does the job fine.  I can't think of any
cases where you would want ibcs2 and NOT have the coff loader.--5YvHkXY2oSBPvX4jYnhLLgzp2PQFvS8YfPB2q9XMxV2jwwVt

The supplied fix is not actually correct, but a simple 3 character 
change to defaults/rc.conf gives the same result and is more elegant.
