devfs and 2.4.19-686
Hi all.
Im running testing and tried to install kernel-image-2.4.19-686 on my
system.
The problem is that it will not boot with that kernel. I think the
problem is related to devfs of some kind since the kernel finds my two
harddisks and locates them on devfs mannor. /dev/ide/host0/bus...
It loads cramfs and finds the disks but for some reason it tries to find
root in
/dev2/root. I have used devfs before on my system (stable with
2.4.18-686 and 2.4.19 home-grown).
I have the following settings in /etc/defaults/defsd:
# mount point for devfs
MOUNTPOINT=/dev
# mount on boot?
MOUNT=yes
Can this be the problem
NB my homegrown 2.4.19 kernel works ok, but not kernel-image-2.4.19-686
from testing.
Hoping someone can help
