Hello all,
I am getting an oops in the mount_root function if I
pass root=/dev/nfs to my 2.5.1 kernel.
I am also getting an oops in the mount_block_root
function if I pass root=/dev/hda3 to my 2.5.1 kernel.
The problem appears to be related to the following two
lines in the init/do_mounts.c file:
static char * __initdata root_mount_data;
static char * __initdata root_fs_names;
The __initdata macro appears to be incorrectly used.
In include/linux/init.h the explanation for the macro
says the __initdata should appear after the variable
name. It also indicates that the variable shoud be
initialized.
The attached patch fixes the problem.
