hello, I need help on the pivot_root( ) system call: a final part of my linuxrc.cc is: res = mount ( drv.c_str(), "/mnt/populate/", "reiserfs", 0, NULL ); if ( res == -1 ) perror ( "mount real root" ); pivot_root ( "/mnt/populate", "/mnt/populate/initrd" ); return 0; where /mnt/populate is a ReiserFS partition. I get a kernel panic. Please help. thanx weichong _____________________________________________________________________ Net:WxS (M) Sdn.
