Subject: RE: [bug] broken loopback fs in 2.4.15-ish kernels?
Cc: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org

I did experiment with romfs on 2.4.15pre7 which did not work (initrd loader
detected romfs, I could loop mount it but the kernel didn't root mount it).
Funny enough using ext2 did work as expected. Maybe there's a common reason.
