Does changing this involve anything except the syfs specific code in the drivers that creates the entries? In other words is there non-sysfs code that relies on where these directories are located? Right now there are only four buses that I know of that need to be moved. This problem isn't too bad on a desktop, but what about a mainframe that might have a hundred different buses? > > thanks, > > greg k-h ===== Jon Smirl jonsmirl at yahoo.com __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
