Unfortunately, it doesn't :( I tried this on one of our internal drivers, which is based on FC 3 (or 4, can look this up). With s390 defconfig, it is unable to open the root device /dev/dasda1 (which is unsurprising, considering udev (063) decided to create /dev/dasda(1) as a character node instead of a block node). The only udev rule I found which could affect the dasd device nodes is SUBSYSTEM=="block", GROUP="disk", MODE="0640" When I look at the system, /sys/block/ and /sys/class/block/ look sane at first glance (working on a 3270 console is usally PITA...) Even more surprisingly, the system comes up fine (once I added ptmx to makedev.d/) with CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED not set. /sys/block/ and /sys/class/block/ look just like expected. (Unfortunately, our lsdasd tool breaks with this...) I'll see if I can find out more. - 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/
