It's optional. I -STILL- can't figure out why the autoprober doesn't just look in /proc/mounts to figure out who and what our root device and filesystem are. I need to set up a system that boots to an initrd and puts the root device lives on a samba server just to confuse eric's autoprober. Hmmm... I wonder if that would work? :) Rob - 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/ | ||||||||||||
