Obtaining new Device Numbers
Hi All, According to Documentation/devices.txt to request new major / numbers, all you should have to do is get ahold of H. Peter Anvin. Does anybody know if he is still doing this? Perhaps has he passed this duty on to someone else? It would appear he isn't answering requests mailed to [EMAIL PROTECTED] I'm trying to get the major / minor number issues resolved for the Linux port to the IBM AS/400 aka iSeries. We have released our first set of patches and before we put out the next set we'd like to get this nailed down as we're using bogus major / minor numbers that we just grabbed out of mid-air... obviously not the right thing. For those interested in the patches, take a gander to oss.software.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/linux/projects/ppc/iSeries_notes.php Thanks much for any info! Regards, Tom -- Tom Gall - PowerPC Linux Team"Where's the ka-boom? There was Linux Technology Center supposed to be an earth (w) [EMAIL PROTECTED] shattering ka-boom!"
