I have replaced my nash/mkinitrd with patched ones. > Did you recreate the initrd after updating nash/mkinitrd tools? Yes, I run "make install" at first, and found the failure of boot; Then I recreated initrd manually with mkinitrd/nash (patched by you), and booted -rc6 again - failed again. > What's the boot log? Sorry I don't have the laptop with me now, will post it this evening(Ah, only possible if I can get netconsole work). Anyway, your patches did work for me with -rc4, so I think I'll bisect it. -- Thanks, Jike -- 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/
