Hi!
I try gather some more information,
Boot messages, if the boot parameter is ro:
(...)
Freeing unused kernel memory: 152k freed
INIT: version 2.86 booting
Mounting a tmpfs over /dev...rm: cannot remove '/dev/test-file'
Setting disc parameters: done.
(...)
CONTROL-D will exit from this shell and continue system start
/dev/console: No such file or directory
Give root password for maintenance
(or type Control-D to continue):
After logging in as root, the result of 'mount' is:
/dev/hdd1 on / type reiserfs (rw,data=journal)
proc on /proc type proc (rw)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw)
Simply the '/dev' is not mounted, but the result of 'ls -l /dev':
total 13K
0 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 140 Jan 14 2005 ./
512 drwxr-xr-x 21 root root 520 Jab 6 01:29 ../
0 prw------- 1 root root 0 Jan 14 2005 initctl|
4,0k -rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 626 Jan 14 13:04 null
0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Jan 14 2005 test-file -> test
4,0k -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3 Jan 14 2005 tty0
4,0k -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3 Jan 14 2005 tty1
If the boot parameter is rw, everything is ok.
The relevant section of a correct 'mount':
/dev/hdd1 on / type reiserfs (rw,data=journal)
proc on /proc type proc (rw)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620)
tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)
/dev on /.dev type unknown (rw,bind)
none on /dev type tmpfs (rw,size=5M,mode=0755)
What kind of other information do you need?
How can i check "what really happens"?
