SubjectRe: OOPS on 2.4.17 -18pre4 while mounting root (reiserfs, on LVM, devfs)

17 == EEXIST

Your mkinitrd creates /dev/root in any form and devfs_do_symlink(root)
fails. We had the same pornlem in mandrake and Juan ended up commenting
it out in fs/super.c:

//              devfs_mk_symlink (NULL, "root", DEVFS_FL_DEFAULT,
//                                name + 5, NULL, NULL);
