Is there known any reason why swim3 floppy controler is not inserted in devfs ? or can be swim3.c patched like: -swim3.c:1034: ...register_blkdev... +swim3.c:1034: ...devfs_register_blkdev...This is not enough, it just prevents the floppy driver to be registered if you tell devfs to not use the old-style device system with major/minor numbers I believe. Below a patch that seems to work, though I'm not sure if the permissions are right. I also included a patch for ide-floppy since my zip drive was missing from devfs as well. That one should probably be sent to the regular linux-kernel list though.
[I ment to do something about this sooner, really]. I've applied the swim3 patch to the 2_4 bk tree, so this should propogate eventually. The ide-floppy one really should goto l-k or better yet the IDE maintainer. -- Tom Rini (TR1265) http://gate.crashing.org/~trini/ ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
