Shure, is attached. Please note:

2.6.28:   {d_ino=53258597, d_off=4294967295, d_type=DT_UNKNOWN, 
d_reclen=40, d_name="v4l1-compat.ko"}
2.6.26.3: {d_ino=53258597, d_off=2147483647, d_type=DT_UNKNOWN, 
d_reclen=40, d_name="v4l1-compat.ko"}

Please also note: 0x7FFFFFFF = 2147483647 -> 0xFFFFFFFF = 4294967295

I think i will go back to < 2.6.28, i don't want to risk my files. :-(((
