I noticed that /dev/root is a link if / is on an LVM managed partition.
  If it is on a regular partition it's a block device.

On RHEL4?  I've just checked four more systems, two with LVM and two
with regular partitions.  All were symbolic links to the appropriate
block device.

I can confirm the LVM/regular split on my systems.

system 1) /dev/root and regular partitions
system 2) LVM and a symlink

Another difference is that the first was originally installed on 21/09/05 with RHEL4u1 and has since been updated to RHEL4u5. The second system with LVM and a symlink is a recent (within the last month) RHEL4u4 install. Perhaps there is a difference between new and old installs? I'd love to confirm this, but all my available kickstarts now use LVM ;o)
