Actually it wasn't Alan pointing the finger it was me. I was only
trying to figure out what the errors meant and they pointed to
devfs_fs_kernel.h. The problem as I suspected at eh time was entirely
unrelated. I moved my #include of misc_devices.h up and removed a
duplicate #include for linux/init.h and poof she compiled. I am
starting to become a believer in voodoo computing again I guess.
On another note related to devfs though when I compile devfs in the
system just hangs. I am wondering if I am registering my synth device
before devfs has memory allocated. I register very early in the boot
process in console_init() and experienced similar problems before because I
don't think kmalloc() may be available that early in the sequence.
The question then is, do you think that could be why the system is
hanging with devfs configured in?
