Kay, your patch gregkh-driver-block-device.patch breaks Fedora 7 initrd
http://www.stardust.webpages.pl/files/tbf/bitis-gabonica/2.6.22-rc4-mm1/initrd.jpg
Please fix it ASAP, I can't test kernel...
Do you have CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED set or unset?
Kay
cat ../linux-mm-bo/.config | grep CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED
# CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED is not set
Oh, could you possibly try (with the block patch included) setting it to
yes and see if it works? That would help to find what's going wrong.
I enabled CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED and 2.6.22-rc4-mm2 boots fine.
Michal, thanks a lot for the testing.
Peter, looking at your mkinitrd code, it works only with
CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED enabled when block devices are converted to
class devices.
Any chance to replace lstat() with stat() while looking for devices in
sysfs? Remember, _anything_ in sysfs can be symlink or a directory, you
can't assume one or the other. When things change internally in the
kernel, we can often provide symlinks for backwards compatibility, but
lstat() obviously can't works here.
Fixed in mkinitrd-6.0.9-6 , which I'll build now and push to
updates-testing. Thanks for getting my attention here.
