Let's see how we can get such a kernel to your box. :) Greg, is there an easy way to provide a kernel package that includes the stuff from your patch tree? I tried, but the current block patch doesn't apply our current kernel. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Thanks Thomas. Steffen, with upcoming future changes of the kernel block subsystem moving to "struct device", hwinfo will need to handle symlinks to directories in /sys/block/ instead of expecting real directories, like most of the current sysfs already looks like. Is the involved code that needs to be changed all contained in hwinfo/src/block.c?
