[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#588675: / left as /dev/root with non-initrd kernel

[Elliott Mitchell]

Bit more testing and I've merely gotten rid of more causes. Tried booting
with an older 2.6.18 kernel from etch that I had handy. Problem still
occurred. Tried booting the current kernel while passing the the root
device via the kernel command-line ("root=/dev/sda1"), problem still
occurred.

Currently my list of potentially suspect other packages is mount and
udev. I haven't figured out where the "magical" step of modifying the
kernel's mount tab to report "/dev/sda1" instead of "/dev/root" occured.
I'm pretty sure it used to be happening, I just don't know where...

I am pretty sure this does require a non-initrd kernel.
