Hi,


yesterday I updated my Kernel from 2.4.16
to 2.4.17 (including new modules and building 
a new initrd). My 2.4.16-Kernel works fine with
exactly the same configuration (devfs, devfsd(3.1.22),
reiserfs as module in the initrd) and has no startup
problems. But now the new 2.4.17 kernel crashes 
during the startup, after displaying a devfs-error message.
 
the system console shows:
...
VFS: Mounted root (reiserfs filesystem) readonly.
devfs: devfs_do_symlink(root): could not append to parent, err 17
change_root: old root has d_count=2
Invalid operand: 0000
CPU: 0
EIP:0010:[<c012a00d>] Not tainted
EFLAGS: 00010246
eax: 00000000 ebx:c1406960
...
Process swapper (pid: 1, stackpage=cffe7000)
....
<0> Kernel panic: Attempted to kill init !





best regards,
