I also have device-manager 1.00.07 patched in (no rejects, no manual edits necessary). My version was pulled from BK, I can look up the latest ChangeSet I pulled from the official kernel if necessary. I'll now try a "make clean" build after yet another BK pull. > At work now, so I don't have a full .config handy, but: > * Slackware 8.1 based; glibc 2.2.5; gcc 2.95.3 > * Soltek SL-75DRV2 (UP, Athlon XP 1700, VIA KT266A [VT8366A/VT8233]) > * Root = ext3 on IDE partition > * DevFS, DevPTS, IDE-SCSI=cdrom0, USBStorage, USB EHCI, VFAT > * RadeonFB, IPTables, Realtek-8139 SuSE Linux 8.2, gcc 3.3.1, Gigabyte 7ZX-R (VIA KT133 + Promise 20265R), root ext3 on SCSI (sym53c8xx_2), no devfs, no usb storage, vfat, xfs. However, I doubt the file systems matter, the machine apparently hasn't probed my partitions when it reboots. -- Matthias Andree Encrypt your mail: my GnuPG key ID is 0x052E7D95
