Subject: PROBLEM: Devfs root breaks with some devices in 2.4.19
Date: Tue, 20 Aug 2002 12:17:44 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <5.1.1.6.1.20020820113309.00aa7370@mail.force9.net> (raw)
I'll follow the suggested reporting format as closely as possible to give
as much information as possible in a common format:
[2.] Full description of the problem:
When passing "root=" parameters to the kernel, certain device strings
referring to devfs devices that used to work in 2.4.18 now no longer work
in 2.4.19. For example, using "root=/dev/discs/disc2/part6" worked as
expected in 2.4.18, and allowed me to move my discs around on the
controllers so long as I maintained the order. However, using the same
command line in 2.4.19 fails completely.
[3.] Keywords:
devfs, root, kernel, boot parameters, init
[4.] Kernel version:
Linux version 2.4.19 (dh@scrat) (gcc version 2.95.4 20011002 (Debian
prerelease)) #1 Mon Aug 19 22:25:45 BST 2002
[5.] Output (no oops, but I can give the appropriate panic):
This is the panic on trying to boot the kernel with the parameter
"root=/dev/discs/disc2/part6". It appears just after the NET4
initialisation message in my configuration:
>>>
VFS: Cannot open root device "discs/disc2/part6" or 00:0d
Please append the correct "root=" boot option
Kernel Panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 00:0d
<<<
[6.] Example:
Try using "root=/dev/discs/disc<d>/part<p>" with <d> and <p> set
appropriately for your configulation. This should be easily reproducable.
Using something like "root=/dev/hdg6" works fine, however.
[7.] Environment
[7.1] Software
Most of this is probably irrelavent at this stage, but I'll include it in
case anyone finds it useful:

[7.7.] Other information
In case it's of any use, the /dev/discs/disc2/part6 example used above is
normally referring to the non-devfs device /dev/hdg6, but I prefer the
/dev/discs/... format because of the ease of moving drives through the
busses should I need to temporarily add drives to the system.
Looking at the kernel panic, I'd noticed that the "/dev/" part of the
"root=" parameter had been stripped, so I decided to try
"root=/dev//dev/discs/disc2/part6", which does work correctly, as the
kernel strips the first "/dev/" and then proceeds as expected.
I'm assuming the problem lies somewhere in init/do_mounts.c, as this seems
to be where the mangling and processing of the "root=" parameter takes
place, but I am unsure as to who is currently maintaining this particular
section of the kernel, so I have posted here for help.
Currently, circumstances dictate that I cannot gain a cheap, realiable
Internet connection, so I am unable to subscribe to this list. As such, if
replies could by CCd to me, it'd be very much appreciated.
Thanks for your time,
-David Headland.
