But leaving the ro parameter in place doesn't hurt anything. > Also, I wonder ... since grub2 can search uuid, then if Linus can be > convinced that this indeed works and is useful, maybe someday the > kernel will do it. This is a catch-22. udev populates /dev which is needed to determine partitions. The only alternative is to do raw device searches and the number of different device types and filesystems on those devices makes this really prohibitive. GRUB does it, but that's not the kernel's job. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
