[PATCH] for 2.5.50, sysfs works wrong in some cases

[Alex Tomas]

Hello!

I've just found that 2.5.50 can't open root device specified in
'root=/dev/sda3' form. As for me, following patch solves problem:

                disk->kobj.subsys = &block_subsys;

kobject_init() will be called from kobject_register().

with best, regards
