Perhaps, but IIRC, that code line is being deprecated and is no longer maintained regardless. I haven't used that method of booting for over a year, so can't comment. OT: I started having issues compounded by it (nfsroot) around 2.6.12 and moved to performing all those actions in userspace with initramfs-included binaries and scripts. Plus, its infinitely more adaptable, such as for things like fscache ;) /eli -----Original Message----- From: Wilhelm Meier <wilhelm.meier@xxxxxxxx> To: linux-cachefs@xxxxxxxxxx <linux-cachefs@xxxxxxxxxx> CC: Eli Stair Sent: Sat Jan 13 11:39:31 2007 Subject: Re: [Linux-cachefs] FS-Cache for NFS-root ?
