Alright, thanks. What about the /proc/devices one? Would adding an entry help? I'm kind of lost /proc/devices. It's now mostly non-functional legacy stuff we've been carrying around. Is it deprecated or do we intend to keep it around forever?
Ooh.. which also reminds me that I forgot to reserve the major number w/ lanana. Will do that.
Thanks.
