Message-ID: <20061105100926.GA2883@pelagius.h-e-r-e-s-y.com> Mail-Followup-To: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.4.2.1i Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Content-Length: 548 Lines: 15 Documentation/devices.txt says: "The prefix /dev/sr (instead of /dev/scd) has been deprecated" but booting 2.6.18.2 from a scsi CD only works if I pass the kernel parameter root=/dev/sr0 and fails with root=/dev/scd0 I guess the kernel ought to be taught about the scd* names aswell?
