Hi all. I had the same prob. The above quoted explanation is somewhat misleading. Through a lot of trial and error (and some googling) I worked out the key data:
The number is composed of 3 pieces
(a) major device number ie. 3 above (leading zero is ignored)
(b) minor device number ie. 0 above
(c) partition on device ie. 7 above
I use hdb. hda and hdb are both major device number 3
hda is minor device number 0
hdb is minor device number 64
BUT minor device number is in base 16
so in base 16, hda is 0 (0x16=0) and hdb is 4 (4x16=64)
THUS
my root=/dev/hdb4 becomes root=344 (ie. maj device 3, minor device 64 (4x16) and partition #4.
Examples:
hda1 = 301
hda3 = 303
hdb1 = 341
hdb4 = 344 etc.
Pardon if this is obvious. To determine linux device numbers, google. there's a list out there. I found a list below:

Yes, but should we think the kernel is safe to use just because we can work around this bug?

Well, this bug doesn't make the kernel unsafe to use does it? It's not crashing, there isn't any instability caused by it, it's just a minor inconvenience that will be fixed in the next release. |

Module names have changed

emu10k1 --> now = snd-emu10k1
Alsa module is snd
dev/dsp was missing, not sure what I did to enable it. sound is running on the system now. modprobe snd? or emerge alsa-tools or alsa-utils? one didn't emerge... tired. it's almost 4am.

Thanks!
DVD video works fine.
BUT I have a *** wine problem ***
I run galactic civilizations in wine cvs fine in 2.4.20 and 2.4.21
When I patched 2.4.21 with CK it would stutter now and then (freeze and unfreeze)
With 2.6.0 test mm2, it stutters horribly and even locked up the machine... the mouse cursor moved and could scroll within the game but nothing was accepted as input into linux ie keyboard frozen out and no mouse clicks worked anywhere |

fusibou, it looks like the next version of the drivers will support 2.6, but when they'll be released...take a guess

I use gKrellm2 as a system monitor, and to take up space on my desktop (2 monitors means i have space to waste :p). I noticed that over the past few days, in which I've been running 2.6.0-test1, that I'm getting no readings on my hard drives, at all. I don't know what this means, but probably that I forgot to add something, or that gKrellm2 doesn't work with 2.6 (entirely).
Any ideas? |
It appears that gkrellm2 requires the /sys directory to be mounted in order to get disk stats.

Hmm I compiled this kernel and it worked straight away WITH nvidia driver (r3). There is however an issue that I have not come accros in this thread: my mouse sticks shortly at an interval of appx. 0.5 sec. Just moving it around is not smooth, it hangs/sticks. Although i am not certain as it is not absolutely visible on my system, I think that also screen processing freezes at this interval. Scrolling on mozilla for example is also stick, but that might just as well be the result of the mouse sticking.
I have a ECS k7s5a with athlon 2000+ and a logitech mouse. Furthmore a TNT2 pro video board. |

Can I use automount ala supermount? I mean, inserting a floppy and reading it doing a simple ls /mnt/floppy without previously mounting it? |

Same Problem here. I read the kernel-help concerning CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2
| Code: |
For Synaptics Touchpad Support in XFree86 you'll need zhis XFree86 driver: http://w1.894.telia.com/~u89404340/touchpad/index.html
|
Haven't tried it yet, becasue my usb mouse won't work, too. If i move it, syslog-ng (ctrl+alt+f12) tells me, that "Synaptics driver lost sync at 1st byte". Maybe something is wrong 
[EDIT]
I got USB-Mouse AND Touchpad working, without ANY aditional drivers!!!!
It depends on loading order of the modules, i think. i loaded ehci-hcd, then uhci-hcd, then usbmouse, the hid and finally mousedev. Works! WOOOHOOO  Happyy again!
[EDIT]
i found out that module usbmouse isn't needed. i made a typo and so it wasn't loaded, but still working
[/EDIT]

the ebuild of this kernel contains a description of what to to (shown at the end of emerge development-sources
| Code: |
Also, note that you must compile in support for
input devices (Input device support->Input devices),
the virtual terminal (Character Devices->Virtual terminal),
vga_console (Graphics Support->Console...->VGA text console)
and the vt_console (Character Devices->Support for console...).
Otherwise, you will get the dreaded "Uncompressing the Kernel"
error.

still got a problem:
i want to use fb-console. vesa mode works quite well, but has 60Hz, quite flickering. so i decided to use the radeon driver. it works quire well, but i cant fiegure out, how to change the "resolution". i only get the standard resolution (with ~100Hz).
The bootoption "vga=ask -> scan" braught me a little further, but still no idea what i did wrong. No matter what resolution i choose, its always the same. The only difference is the refresh rate.
Any ideas? |

Thanks. The 3203 schneider driver is in rpm format and fails in rpm -i with a ton of basic dependencies I already have. If I emerge the source for ati-drivers-13 and use their Makefile (changing endi at end to endif) I get the message "nothing to Make" or something like that. |

2.6.0 test mm2
While the desktop experience is pretty good, my apache seems to be serving a lot slower. I run the Otto Jukebox using apache and mysql and running Otto through the web (cgi) now seems quite slow to load each page from my system (all local)
ie. doing functions within a page is fast enough, but switching to another page is slow. |

Can't get my iPod to work. I have SCSI support in (and my flashcard readers work well) and my DVD works fine as a scsi device.
I have module sbp2 and I can modprobe it and mount my ipod as /dev/sdc2. But the following messages keep rolling over and over and the machine stutters. gtkpod fails to read the database.

I believe at least once the messages ended with some other message and stopped rolling but when I tried gtkpod, it hung and would not be killed. |
