Subject[patch] 2.5.34 partition off by one
From

I needed this patch to boot my machine, Linux-2.5.34 devfs enabled.
My root fs is on /dev/hda6, the last partition of /dev/hda.
create_dev("/dev/root", ...) in do_mounts.c failed because /dev/hda6
was not found by devfs_get_handle(). It appears that
devfs_register_partition() is not called for /dev/hda6...

Please apply if this patch is right and it hasn't been fixed yet.

Sincerely,
