kernel.org 2.6.30-rc7 regression?

[bzhou]

I was just testing 2.6.30-rc7, applied
http://trac.nslu2-linux.org/optware/browser/trunk/sources/kernel-modules/kirkwood/mvsdio.patch
http://trac.nslu2-linux.org/optware/browser/trunk/sources/kernel-modules/kirkwood/pow1.patch
http://trac.nslu2-linux.org/optware/browser/trunk/sources/kernel-modules/kirkwood/pow2.patch

upon booting, it has problem bringing up eth0

Code:

NET: Registered protocol family 17
RPC: Registered udp transport module.
RPC: Registered tcp transport module.
lib80211: common routines for IEEE802.11 drivers
rtc-mv rtc-mv: setting system clock to 2000-01-01 00:00:00 UTC (946684800)
mv643xx_eth_port mv643xx_eth_port.0: coherent DMA mask is unset
net eth0: can't allocate rx ring (2048 bytes)
IP-Config: Failed to open eth0
IP-Config: Device `eth0' not found.

Has anyone else seen this? Any idea what's wrong?

Same problem without any patch.

Yes, it's a regression. There's a fix in the orion tree.
