[ofa-general] OFED-1.4: ofa-kernel modules do not compile on 2.6.26 under Debian Lenny

[Dr. Volker Jaenisch]

Hello Ofa-List!

Compiling the ofa-kernel modules from OFED-1.4 on Debian Lenny Kernel 
2.6.26 (on amd64) gives
me the following trace:

The code is backported correctly to 2.6.26

At google I found this thread 
http://groups.google.com/group/open-iscsi/browse_thread/thread/9bdb0cf059c1b3d3
that describes a similiar problem. But in that case there are too few 
parameter not to many.

Any help welcome
