<rat_> hello all
<rat_> when I try to add a route to the loopback interface it says: 'SIOCADDRT: No such device'
<rat_> is this normal?
<rat_> I have a 2.6 kernel
<towlie_> how do i convert the device name like /dev/hda1 to the hexadecimal representation for that device ?
<DVS01> hrm
<DVS01> ls -l /dev/hda1 gives you some info.. not sure if thats what you need tho
<towlie_> well what i need to do is figure out how to refer to the root partition in the command line arguments as a hex number
<DVS01> for what purpose?
<towlie_> well i am booting linux from a device that doesnt recognize /dev device names
<DVS01> hmm
<DVS01> grub is similar
<DVS01> it uses enumeration
<DVS01> what kinda device is this?
<towlie_> a treo 650
<DVS01> a phone?
<towlie_> yea
<DVS01> youre putting linux on a phone?
<DVS01> :D
<towlie_> yes
<towlie_> and it does work to some extent
<DVS01> haha cool
<towlie_> its stil la work in progress
<towlie_> still a
<DVS01> i think the hex representation of various partitions may be machine dependent in your case
<DVS01> do you have any docs available?
<towlie_> no
<DVS01> hrm
<towlie_> there arent any docs available
<DVS01> how does it work by default?
<towlie_> well
<towlie_> someone helped me earlier on the help channel on irc
