Wow, that's an old bug :-) I had to reinstall the PowerBook with Wheezy due to a disk failure and after that I've upgraded from Wheezy to Jessie and the problem is gone now. I can't tell if I've seen this prior to Linux 3.2 kernels. If it helps I could try to boot an older Debian/wheezy live-cd and see if the rootfs comes up twice. The disk controller of this PowerBook G4 is: 0002:20:0d.0 Unassigned class [ff00]: Apple Inc. UniNorth/Intrepid ATA/100 I've used BLK_DEV_IDE_PMAC ages ago, but have switched to PATA_MACIO for a while now. But again, I can't tell when the double "/" entry occured first, I noticed it only at the time of my bug entry (wheezy 7.3). I'm still using a self-compiled kernel but the issue is gone now, at least on this system: $ uname -r; grep root /proc/mounts 4.3.0-11626-g5d50ac7 /dev/root / jfs rw,nodev,relatime 0 0 HTH, Christian.
