Argh. My fault - it's devfs-only code and it didn't get tested ;-/
Fix: replace line 470 with
p[part].de = NULL;

Thanks, that help!
But it does not boot,( nor does 2.5.24)
with 2.5.30 it panics at PNP BIOS initalisation, without PNPBIOS it freezes after loop device init(no network card) after network card init if configured (Intel e100).
No SysRq helps.:(
Banai,
Yep, the anti-devfs regime broke it a few versions ago with console/tty (serial) driver changes. It sort of defeats the purpose, but I can boot with "devfs=nomount" as a kernel boot up option. [This worked in lk 2.5.29]
Resistance may be futile, but it is the reason some of us use linux.

I have nothing against devfs. In fact I spent the morning attempting to get my machine to use devfs. I discovered that was harding than I thoyght which is why I asked people to test my patch out. I think I'm going to just send it into linus soon anyways.
