-ENODEV ?! wtf ? can you add a printf ("FOO! %s\n", str_file_autoconf); and find out what its trying to open ? Here it seems to do the right thing (on the -637 kernel, and nothing really stands out as obvious candidate between 637 -> 643). I'll reboot in a sec, and try to reproduce. Does your /dev look ok ? Running latest udev ?
hmm, works just fine for me (on x86-64 too) with my above debug printf it just prints out 'include/linux/autoconf.h' as expected. I'm strongly suspecting something has hosed your /dev
did this ever get fixed ?
