I come across this very issue when I discovered another bug, using un-initialized pipefs structures during early hotplug calls. I know about /bin/uname, but it requires a pipe, so wont work. Obvious alternative is /proc/sys/version, which is alot faster too (no fork+exec overhead). /mjt - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
