I built the latest from rawhide and installed the 503 kernel. I did
a:
mkinitrd vmlinuz 2.6.7-1.503.build
And rebooted the system. On the way up, I got a message saying the "switchroot
mount failed" and it panic'ed. Removing the mkinitrd package and backtracking
to
mkinitrd-3.5.24-1 fixed the problem.
Has anyone else noticed this problem? Is mkinitrd-4.0.0 supposed to work with
current rawhide or does it have (unstated) dependencies on packages yet to be
released?
mkinitrd-4.x uses initramfs by default; this support almost certainly
has some bugs left to be worked out.
