I compiled the new 2.6.9 kernel, and now my USB
thumbdrive refuses to mount on /dev/sda1 as a vfat
filesystem. Whenever I stick the thumbdrive into the
USB socket, the kernel reports a new device /dev/uba.
It took me a while to get the docs on the new
/dev/uba, and in some obscure location in the
/usr/src/linux-2.6.9 source tree, I found the
following major/minor device assignments for /dev/uba:
/dev/uba b 125 0
/dev/uba1 b 125 1
/dev/uba2 b 125 2
etc
Now, I can read, once again, my favorite thumbdrive
under Linux-2.6.9. Can someone confirm if these are
really the correct major/minor device numbers to use?
They seem to work for me, for now.
