Re: FW: 2.5.19-20 rootfs naming with devfs

[Pavel Roskin <proski@xxxxxxx>]

Hello!

Maybe you forwarded a wrong message?  I don't understand how a failure of
the kernel to mount the root filesystem is related to devfs.  The
workaround is probably related, but shouldn't we care about the proper
fix?

By the way, is the root device specified correctly in the bootblock (using 
rdev)?  Can you omit the "root" parameter?  What happens with other 
bootloaders (lilo, syslinux, loadlin)?  What do you see in /proc/cmdline?

Feature?  Shouldn't we call it a bug?  Maybe I don't understand what you 
mean.
