1 Hi-
2 I am trying to convert to using udev instead of devfs. I need to load a
3 raid controller module to access to root fs. I am using mkinitrd to
4 create the initrd, however the root partition is not mounting.
5
6 The driver module is loading but the root partition is not mounting.
7 The partition is fine and ext3 is compiled into the kernel. This was
8 working when using devfs.
9
10 How do I get this to work? Do I need devfs compiled into the kernel?

12 Thanks for the help,
