I'm asking because there are many unneeded nodes. Have you tried to create only the nodes for disks/cds that are really present and modify viodasd to use only device-tree data? ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

I'll have a look, but that would require interacting with the hypervisor very early in the boot sequence ... -- Cheers, Stephen Rothwell sfr@canb.auug.org.au http://www.canb.auug.org.au/~sfr/ [-- Attachment #2: Type: application/pgp-signature, Size: 189 bytes --] ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread
