Today, I tried to test the new nftl-code. Therefor I took the code from CVS and patched a 2.4.20 kernel. At the same time the grub-firmware was built and loaded using DFORMAT (V5.1.4) on a DOC-Millenium.
Everything went fine so far, the DOC was bootable and correctly recognised. However, the nftla-device was not accessible, neither by fdisk nor by mount. I even couldn't mount the DOS-partition created by dformat.
fdisk mentioned: "Unable to open /dev/nftla".
A similar test with the alternative driver for DOC-Millenium ended up equally.

Any suggestions?
