As you can see, some of them are not working as expected. Yeah, 2.6.12-git5 was what it was against, sorry I didn't mention that. > ACPI: PCI Root Bridge [PCI0] (0000:00) > PCI: Probing PCI hardware (bus 00) > ndevfs: creating file '0000:00' with major 0 and minor 0 > PCI: Ignoring BAR0-3 of IDE controller 0000:00:1f.1 > ndevfs: creating file '0000:01' with major 0 and minor 0 > Boot video device is 0000:01:00.0 > ndevfs: creating file '0000:02' with major 0 and minor 0 Hm, that is odd. That shouldn't happen. Wait, I think it was due to where you put the class hooks, try it against Linus's latest tree, it will work better there (in fact, I don't know if it would work properly in 2.6.12 due to the class driver core changes.) Could you try that and let me know if it still has issues? thanks, greg k-h
