I thought the ioctl(fd, WORMIOCFIXATION, &f) (used in wormcontrol.c) is the only interface we have to the burner and that apparently got out of sync with the kernel. What other way to go? I think a friend of mine has some old Roentgenlaser, built after a famous old german book. Which track do I need to shoot at? I think that beast can burn holes in steel, should be sufficient :-] BTW, as expected booting a 2.2.2-kernel on a 2.2-stable world made wormcontrol work again.
