I looked at uclibc, and I wondered __kernel_dev_t defines as unsigned short. In 2.6 linux kernel adopts 32bit kernel dev_t. Plus, it seems your hack is applied only for arm. Why do we need to hide __kernel_dev_t from lkh headers? I would like to hear your opinion. Regards, -- gotom -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
