Bug#267137: kernel ChangeLog-2.6.8



http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ChangeLog-2.6.8
<Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl>
	[PATCH] revert partition nonsense
	
	Updating my source to 2.6.7 I see that you applied some
	nonsense garbage patch. Please undo.
	
	[ Note by Linus: the fact that DOS_EXTENDED_PARTITION is 5, and we're
	  iterating over slots 1-4 in the partition table, are two totally
	  unrelated things. Using the symbolic constant does indeed not make
	  any sense at all here, as Andries so eloquently points out. ]

	[PATCH] lost error code in rescan_partitions
	
This fixes a path where an error from reloading the partition table could be
	lost.

And maybe this... (I don't know if it helps :D )
<olh@suse.de>
	[PATCH] mark swim3 floppy controller as removable device
	
	Mark the mac floppy controller driver as removable media.  This prevents an
	entry in /proc/partitions.  Several tools will not try to access the floppy
	anymore with this change.
