It would help if you posted your linuxrc here (I realize that the actual linuxrc may be confidential, but can you reduce it to the bare minimum that still manifests the problem?). Are you using pivot_root(8) - what linuxrc normally does - or something else? Guessing wildly, there is a filesystem already mounted on put_old by the time linuxrc gets to its own pivot_root - you need to avoid that. I may be really off the mark without seeing the script. -- Oleg Goldshmidt | [EMAIL PROTECTED] ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
