with a quick conversion you will see that 132608 == 0x20600
so noticed that the elif will never be matched !
Apparently there was already a try to modify this in CVS which
was reverted (it was plain wrong).

I don't know when __kernel_old_dev_t is needed, but with a 2.6.7
or a 2.6.8 this is __kernel_dev_t wich is needed.

I corrected this with the following patch but maybe older 2.6
still need __kernel_old_dev_t ?

I think this should be corrected before 1.0.

Thanks
Aurel
