Well, I haven't looked at libgtop for 2.4 yet, but maybe you can help me
with some problem with the 2.4.1 kernel.

Currently, I have

/dev/md0	raid0,4k,0	/dev/sda3 /dev/sdb2 

in my /etc/mdtab which works perfectly fine with 2.2.18.

With this new 2.4.1 I get some

/dev/md0: No such device
/dev/sda3: No such device
/dev/sdb2: No such device

My other SCSI partitions, for instance /dev/sdb1 work just fine.

Btw. /dev/md0 is /gnome so I cannot test any GNOME stuff with 2.4.1 before
this is fixed ....

Any ideas ?
