[PATCH] add securityfs for all LSMs to use

2005-07-07 Thread Greg KH
Here's a small patch against 2.6.13-rc2 that adds securityfs, a virtual fs that all LSMs can use instead of creating their own. The fs should be mounted at /sys/kernel/security, and the fs creates that mount point. This will make the LSB people happy that we aren't creating a new /my_lsm_fs

You didn't enable support for your IDE chipset and so you are using generic IDE support (which can fail quite easy if i.e. BIOS programmed wrong settings). The easiest way is to see which driver you do need is to enable all drivers and see which one will claim your IDE controller. :) On 7/7/05,
