Hi,
In other words: your kernel works OK with udev. Sounds like Stephen doesn't have the latest nfblock patch? Or maybe his gcc-4.2 compiled it differently than compiler you've used?I tried it now with the debian kernel .config and the difference is CONFIG_LBD, which changes sector_t to a 64bit variable and thus a 64bit value is pushed on the stack. It's easy to fix, but enabling LBD on m68k by default is a utter waste of time...
Maybe so, but it should still be fixed (even though the nfblock device probably always will be smaller that what requires LBD).
Anyway, disabling LBD for ARAnyM kernels is the workaround for now, thanks.
