Some of us want to use dracut on F10, or better yet CentOS 5.3. And we test on released distros, not an unreleased one (albeit coming very soon). Does my later patch, that just makes /dev/tty point to /dev/console for the emergency shell seem unobtrusive enough to take upstream? If I need to carry this locally, I don't mind, but I figure others could use the fix when working on the initramfs. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe initramfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
