Subject: [PATCH] make 2.5.49 mount root again for devfs users
Date: Mon, 25 Nov 2002 13:46:14 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <3DE21B96.8BA15D27@aitel.hist.no> (raw)
init/do_mounts.c changed in 2.5.48, and booting with devfs
(and without initial ramdisk) has been impossible since then.
I experimented with do_mounts undoing the early devfs mount.
Devfs is mounted later anyway.
Feel free to test, but be warned that I am not an expert
on this part of the kernel. This made 2.5.49 work for
me though. I hope someone can comment on this.
If it isn't "the right way" please tell what is.
