I have baselayout-1.8.6.10, kernel 2.6.0-test3-mm1, and util-linux-2.12. Upon installing util-linux-2.12, I was no longer able to remount my root filesystem for checkroot to work on boot. I really should be able to just mount -n -o remount,ro / or use /dev/root, or whatever is in /proc/mounts,

With 2.[56].* beyond some point, I had to use /dev/root instead of / in checkroot. I guess I'm no stranger to breakage due to inadvisable upgrades. On Wed, 2003-08-13 at 16:38, Steven Elling wrote: On Wednesday 13 August 2003 13:46, Rex Young wrote: I have baselayout-1.8.6.10, kernel

With one of the 2.4 series kernels, I noticed that I could not issue 'mount -o remount,rw /'. I had to issue the full command. Same thing here. If it isn't the full command, it won't work. With the 2.6.0-test1 series kernel I could not use any of the devices (/dev/sda3, /dev/sda3 or
