Thanks. The MTD & PHYMAP_COMPAT are the things that have been bugging me and my main reason to keep with the bleeding edge kernels is to get things whey they were (regarding mtd) as in kernel 2.6.28. As I have no experience with MTD devices, I would appreciate a reference to their workings... All that I know is that all my /dev/mtd* devices are gone if I boot a 2.6.29* kernel. Of course, I can do a git bisect process (since the MTD subsystem doesn't work as it did in the past even if I enable PHYMAP_COMPAT and put the same settings there, quite unfortunately). > Also, can you break this defconfig update into two patches. 1. that > just updates to 2.6.30-rc3 (or latest) and 2. that makes the various > changes you've listed above. No problems with that. I will do that ASAP. Thanks for your kind comments. Regards, Rogério Brito. P.S.: Guennadi, did you see any regressions with your linkstation/kurobox HG or whatever device you have? -- Rogério Brito : rbrito@{mackenzie,ime.usp}.br : GPG key 1024D/7C2CAEB8 http://www.ime.usp.br/~rbrito : http://meusite.mackenzie.com.br/rbrito Projects: algorithms.berlios.de : lame.sf.net : vrms.alioth.debian.org
