If I boot on a working system it is 8,5 mkrootdev is a nash command mkrootdev path Makes path a block inode for the device which should be mounted as root. To determine this device nash uses the device sug- gested by the root= kernel command line argument (if root=LABEL is used devices are probed to find one with that label). If no root= argument is available, /proc/sys/kernel/real-root-dev provides the device number. I already tried switching from the label syntax to /dev/sda5 without effect. -- Jon Smirl jonsmirl@gmail.com - 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/
