Re: current linus bk, error mounting root

[Jon Smirl <jonsmirl@gmail.com>]

Here's what it is doing... looks like the first mount is failing

echo Creating root device
mkrootdev /dev/root
umount /sys
echo Mounting root filesystem
mount -o defaults --ro -t ext3 /dev/root /sysroot
mount -t tmpfs --bind /dev /sysroot/dev
echo Switching to new root
switchroot /sysroot
umount /initrd/dev
