I would not recommend doing firmware download when running RAM

Even though the driver tries to avoid doing anything when kernel gives
it packets to be sent out during flash download, I would highly

starting firmware upgrade..

And what following this last item in kernel log? Full 'dmesg' output
would be more useful (with all the output from prism2_srec).
