Re: [PATCH] make 2.5.49 mount root again for devfs users

Ok, what I experienced is if I configured the kernel with:

CONFIG_UNIX98_PTYS = Y
CONFIG_DEVFS_FS = Y
CONFIG_DEVFS_MOUNT = Y

everything works correctly, but if I configure with only:

CONFIG_UNIX98_PTYS = N
CONFIG_DEVFS_FS = Y
CONFIG_DEVFS_MOUNT = Y

it gives me a panic:

VFS: Cannot open root device "hda2" or 03:02
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 03:02

Hope this helps
