Hi Trond!
I'm sure you're a busy man, but please have a look at
the attached patch, which addresses the root=/dev/wossname
issue, when ROOT_NFS is configured. IMHO this is a NFS only
issue, and fixes an erroneous behaviour.
if it seems okay to you, please let Marcelo know,
so he could add this patch to the next -pre kernel
MTIA,
Herbert
PS: I hope this will make it into 2.4.22-pre9 ...
