hi,
i'm running linux kernel 2.4.0-test12, but this holds for all 2.4 kernels
that i remember.
when using devfs the correct path to disk partition devices is:
/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/partN
and not
/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/disc/partN
the bug occurs because strcat was used instead of strcpy in
lib/device.c, line 617:
