Ok.. reported a bug for yaird.. (bug # pending) Now.. Also tried using good ole mkinitrd but now this won't boot : mount: unknown filesystem type 'devfs' umount: devfs: not mounted mount: unknown filesystem type 'devfs' Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init× Of course, I know the devfs messages are expected (I need to keep them in the fstab for now because I need it for 2.6.11).. But apparently, the root= semantic might have changed because of that.. (leading to an impossibility to mount /) Any clue ? --Ivan PS : Do Not panic.. This is *NOT* a production system - it's just something I setup to learn. Furthermore, I use a menu driven zipl so I can switch between 2.6.11 & 2.6.14 at will ! and lastly, since I am running this on hercules, I have a lot of latitude in testing various things..
