It is a workaround, because it causes the system to boot normally, i.e., it successfully works around the problem that the initramfs does not pass the correct mount option. > > The consequence is that the root fs cannot be remounted rw: > > > > EXT3-fs: cannot change data mode on remount > > mount: / not mounted already, or bad option > > are you saying that rootflags, doesn't work!?? No, sorry, I meant: this is the consequence of the bug, if you do not apply the workaround (to menu.lst or whatever). -- Peter Samuelson | org-tld!p12n!peter | http://p12n.org/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kernel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
