Re: 2.4.7 kernel problem
hi zoltan,
it seems you compiled your ide-drivers as modules. the kernel cries for
a module servicing block devices with major number 3. these are for the
first mfm, rll and ide hard disk/cd-rom interface (from
kernel_sources/Documentation/devices.txt).
compile the ide-drivers into the kernel and you should be fine.
happy hacking,
uLI
