I find these "clever" things not mature yet and always replace it by an explicit device name (and don't move/replace root disk): kernel /boot/bzImage-2.6.4 ro root=/dev/hda2 (this assumes that your root fs is on /dev/hda2, change it appropriately to match your situation) Kind regards Tigran Freeserve AnyTime - HALF PRICE for the first 3 months - Save ?7.50 a month www.freeserve.com/anytime - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
