The line of interest is: /dev/sda1 / ext3 defaults,ro 12 2 > I still have no clue what is wrong. Rough outline, when the kernel is booting, it doesn't know the name of the device-file that the root filesystem is on; all it gets is a major and minor number. I think the missing step is something along the lines of doing a mount() system call where you feed the kernel the actual device-file, and perhaps umount the placeholder "/dev/root". I'm guessing someone removed it thinking that the step was being done by the initrd scripts, and not thinking that not all systems require an initial ram disk. -- (\___(\___(\______ --=> 8-) EHM <=-- ______/)___/)___/) \BS ( | e...@gremlin.m5p.com PGP F6B23DE0 | ) / \_CS\ | _____ -O #include <stddisclaimer.h> O- _____ | / _/ 2477\___\_|_/DC21 03A0 5D61 985B <-PGP-> F2BE 6526 ABD2 F6B2\_|_/___/3DE0 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
