[Tfug] Question: /sys/devices/

[erich]

This has got me curious,
           The particular machine I'm looking at right now has a 2.6.25
kernel installed. I look at /sys/devices/pci0000:00, and I see a bunch
of directories. What kernel version are you using?


                                                                Erich
