Re: oops with usb-serial converter

Hello,

unfortunately the kernel doesn't compile:

lvm.c:1: #error Broken until maintainers will sanitize kdev_t handling
lvm.c: In function `lvm_user_bmap':

this is with:  gcc --version 2.95.4

well, I use lvm, now I could try to compile without lvm support and
boot into single user mode, and see if that works... or could you send
me the function in question (maybe as a patch to 2.4.19-rc3?) - and if
it works then, maybe the 2.4.19 final will include the patch?

thanks for your support,

	Peter
