13 Apparently it is important. I just discovered /var/log/kern.log,
14 which logs things that happen even before / is mounted.

16 Here is the relevant part:
17
18 Oct 23 08:18:39 k2 kernel: EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with writeback data mode.
19 Oct 23 08:18:39 k2 kernel: VFS: Mounted root (ext3 filesystem) readonly on device 8:7.
20 Oct 23 08:18:39 k2 kernel: Freeing unused kernel memory: 256k freed
21 Oct 23 08:18:39 k2 kernel: kjournald starting. Commit interval 5 seconds
22 Oct 23 08:18:39 k2 kernel: udev: starting version 141
23
24 No such warning for me. The question is why not? Any ideas?
