Forgot to say in other mail to you - I had weird issues with nodes that was not yet sysfs'ified in the past due to strange permissions (this is now aside those on ptmx). Try rc1-mm1 for misc/vc sysfs support (might be a fluke, but I have not yet had strange going on's since Greg posted them, so maybe it might be /dev/null, etc that caused issues for me, that did it for you as well), or if you roll your own kernels, I will be glad to post you the patches off list if you cannot find them here. --=20 Martin Schlemmer --=-6VDaMKJoELvTsr7fm3u7 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQA/92VoqburzKaJYLYRArjPAKCHF858ScADvvms6FfTlu68/vuh8QCeN/Pt JpnJbExaJKcvjSpiLzYcej8= =GP8j -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-6VDaMKJoELvTsr7fm3u7-- - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
