I've got /dev/input/mice as my GPM mouse device (I think it was the default)
and I'm using udev. If a mouse isn't plugged in udev does not load the
mousedev driver at boot (which is probably correct) and so there is no
/dev/input/mice for gpm to

kinoplus depends on kino so there's a dependency loop here.

Below is a very hacky script that implements the retry loop. The script
should go in /etc/initramfs-tools/scripts/nfs-bottom/retry. It adds a test
in /conf/param.conf and that script is sourced by the main /init. It needs
to do this since mountroot is only available to /init. The real fix should

I created a script called /etc/initramfs-tools/scripts/nfs-bottom/retry-nfs.
There were plenty of hyphens in the path leading to script name so I
didn't think the name would be a problem. Imagine my suprise when I
rebooted and got some

The patch in 2.6.24.4 and the soon to be 2.6.25 fixes this problem but
only if you build with CONFIG_X86_GENERIC set.
The current Debian build for the 686 kernel does not set this and the
long NOPs will still be there.

You can't use break=??? if you use panic=0. This is because the
maybe_break function calls the panic function to get a shell. It should
be simple to fix by just setting panic=1 inside maybe_break() before
calling panic().

I looks like the pioodl() function is an attempt to run sort -r on
/proc/mounts. I think a better purpose would be to reverse the lines in
that file. Either you can use the program /usr/bin/tac or the following:
rev() {
local line
Here's a patch, I've tested it on my system and tried a few contrived mount
scenarios and it works better than pioodl(). Here's a way to break
pioodl():
mkdir -p /tmp/1/2/3
mount LABEL=disk3 /tmp/1/2/3
mount LABEL=disk2 /tmp/1/2
mount LABEL=disk1 /tmp/1
You get a /proc/mounts that looks like
