SubjectRe: OOPS on 2.4.17 -18pre4 while mounting root (reiserfs, on LVM, devfs)
DateFri, 18 Jan 2002 10:17:14 +0300
Digg This
VFS: Mounted root (reiserfs filesystem) readonly.
devfs: devfs_do_symlink(root): could not append to parent, err: -17 change_root: old root has d_count=2

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);
