Booting kernel 2.0.36 (slink distribution) with "/" on 2.0 non
compatible partition gave me text about unsuported options in filesystem
what ended with kernel panic: unable to mount root. (no dmesg output because
it found 0 bytes - I tried two times).
Mounting this partitions under 2.0.36 kernel gave one line message about
unsuported options and it was all.
