Subject[patch] remove mount_root_failed_msg()
This one snuck in... 

* debugging message for ACPI

* Intel guys removed it from their 2.4 tree (at my request)

* it's point-in-time specific (message becomes nearly useless after
ACPI bug fixes)

* b/c of the point-in-time issue, it's IMO much more appropriate for a
vendor kernel (where the message, I agree, may be helpful)

* can potentially mislead users to the correct cause of root mount failure

* overall, I disagree with adding messages like this. The number one
bug report, by far, for networking drivers is ACPI-related (no
interrupts delivered). You don't see me adding "boot with acpi=off"
messages to the net subsystem.
