I've recently upgraded some server from kernel-2.6.28 to kernel-3.5.7 and |
| 13 |
encountered that the root-device was renamed from /dev/cciss/c0d0p1 to |
| 14 |
/dev/sda1 due to some kernel driver change (took me a while to find out). |
| 15 |
I'm not using genkernel or any initramfs, nor do I have separate /usr. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
The only way I've found to keep the system bootable with both kernels |
| 18 |
(for the upgrade process until the new kernel config was good enough) |
| 19 |
was to replace /dev/cciss/c0d0p1 by /dev/root in /etc/fstab. |

| 21 |
How would this be done when there is no /dev/root any more? |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
So yes, please include the /dev/root drop (at least) in the news item. |
