In Jeffrey's recent patch set, it appears that devfs, cd9660, msdosfs and nfs all still need the merge. I couldn't get procfs to work either although it did compile. There seem to be a couple of issues with changes to the cdevdw and bdevdw structures as well which affects a lot of drivers. -- Doug Rabson, Microsoft RenderMorphics Ltd.
