Snippets from a slight modification to mount_root() in fs/super.c
for (fs_type = file_systems ; fs_type ; fs_type = fs_type->next) { printk("VFS: Processing %s\n",fs_type->name); if (!(fs_type->fs_flags & FS_REQUIRES_DEV)) continue; if (!try_inc_mod_count(fs_type->owner)) continue; printk("VFS: Trying %s\n",fs_type->name);
And now the results during boot (snippets again):
VFS: Processing bdev VFS: Processing proc VFS: Processing sockfs VFS: Processing tmpfs VFS: Processing pipefs VFS: Processing ext2 VFS: Trying ext2 VFS: Processing msdos VFS: Trying msdos VFS: Processing vfat VFS: Trying vfat VFS: Processing iso9660 VFS: Trying iso9660 VFS: Processing nfs VFS: Processing reiserfs VFS: Trying reiserfs Kernel Panic: ...
This clearly shows that there's definitely something going _very_ wrong. Best bet is loading/decompression of initrd. As far as I'm following the list there were initrd modifications discussed/done by Alexander Viro/Andrea Arcangeli.
