I use the same kernel on my desktop and never had this problem.However I have to say there's a big difference between the desktop and the problematic PC. While the PC has a plain setup - only 1 hdd with only 1 partition (hda1), the desktop has its root on a 2-disk software raid0. So the desktop mounts /dev/md0 preliminary, then xfs recovery takes place if needed, and "switchroot /sysroot" is made at the end.
Ahh, this could very likely be the difference. I use dm-crypt on all my filesystems, so a very similar situation: my initramfs first mounts my root filesystem, and then chroot's into it. The mount call from userspace is likely the difference. I would suggest to try and duplicate it with an initrd/initramfs, and if it goes away, file a bug at bugs.kernel.org. They might refuse a bug report with -ck sources, so you might have to report it with the maintainer of the -ck sources, or switch to vanilla for the testing. But either way it seems like a kernel bug to me... -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
