I'm working on this for a project that is running Sarge with the 2.6.8 kernel, so I'll need to migrate the changes over to the latest sd.c from the parisc-2.6 tree, then clean it up a bit. I'll post a patch as soon as its ready for general consumption. > Without looking at the source code to check, I suspect the fdformat code > is trying ioctls that are implemented in floppy.c and we might want to > emulate them in sd.c if the device is a floppy. I haven't looked at the fdformat code either, but it aborts early due to the scsi floppy device having the wrong major number. I don't think it even gets to any ioctls. BTW, the mtools functions all appear to work. --------------010700030702010309060200 Content-Type: text/x-vcard; charset=utf-8; name="jlove.vcf" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="jlove.vcf" begin:vcard fn:James K.
