https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=340971#c5 --- Comment #5 from Pieter Hollants <pieter.hollants@novell.com> 2007-11-16 03:23:08 MST --- To repeat: apparantly mkinitrd tries to stat() the root device. Why I don't know yet. However, it is obviously necessary since the generated initrd differs fatally between failure and success of the stat(). The bug is there in that mkinitrd continues in spite of the failed sync. My point was not that mkinitrd should start fireworks, call 911 or similar but the current behaviour of silently continuing results in a unusable initrd. Please either correct my impression that the stat() is necessary (and shortly explain why it is done then) or make mkinitrd really abort when it can't stat(). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
