I was referring to the locking traceback :) But anyway, Kay, I thought that 10.2 would work with CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED=y? And yes, 10.1 I know will not work that way, but as it's not supported anymore, that's not a big deal :) > --- 2.6.20-rc3/init/Kconfig 2007-01-01 10:30:46.000000000 +0000 > +++ linux/init/Kconfig 2007-01-04 23:36:40.000000000 +0000 > @@ -266,7 +266,7 @@ config SYSFS_DEPRECATED > that belong to a class, back into the /sys/class heirachy, in > order to support older versions of udev. > > - If you are using a distro that was released in 2006 or later, > + If you are using a distro that was released in 2008 or later, > it should be safe to say N here. Well, I'm using a distro released in 2006 that works just fine (Gentoo unstable, Debian unstable should also work. I think even Gentoo stable works too, but haven't tried that out...) thanks, greg k-h - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
