Hi Marcelo!

here is the updated version of the NFS root fix, which
corrects the following faulty behaviour (final reprise ?):

> root_dev_setup() is called with "root=xy" and, in turn calls
> name_to_kdev_t() which searches root_dev_names[] for the given
> device name, which if not found results in (0:0) this is
> handled by the current code like root=/dev/nfs, which IMHO is
> the wrong behaviour ...

please include in 2.4.22-pre10 ...

TIA,
Herbert
