New device drivers don't see beyond 15 partitions in fc7

[Clyde E. Kunkel]

Hello,

With the change from traditional /dev/hd* type device nodes to /dev/sd* 
type nodes, I see that the highest partition number that can be used is 
15.  Will this change so that higher numbers will be available?  I do 
have a system that has a drive with almost 30 small partitions used in a 
research effort and the number of partitions has not been an issue thru fc6.
