It worked correctly in 2.6.19. Using git bisect, the bad commit is shown below: finger@sonylap:~/linux-2.6> git bisect good 8d610dd52dd1da696e199e4b4545f33a2a5de5c6 is first bad commit commit 8d610dd52dd1da696e199e4b4545f33a2a5de5c6 Author: Linus Torvalds Date: Mon Dec 11 12:12:04 2006 -0800 Make sure we populate the initroot filesystem late enough We should not initialize rootfs before all the core initializers have run. So do it as a separate stage just before starting the regular driver initializers.
