Hi!

While playing around with 2.3.99pre2 and initrd I've discovered that romfs
does not recognize symlinks in this kernel version.

Here is a patch that fixes the problem:

--------------------
diff -urN linux-2.3.99-pre2/fs/romfs/inode.c linux/fs/romfs/inode.c
--- linux-2.3.99-pre2/fs/romfs/inode.c Mon Mar 13 21:35:39 2000
+++ linux/fs/romfs/inode.c Mon Mar 20 16:54:06 2000

                         break;
                 case 3:
                         i->i_op = &page_symlink_inode_operations;
- i->i_mode = S_IRWXUGO;
+ i->i_data.a_ops = &romfs_aops;
+ i->i_mode = ino;
                         break;
                 default:
                         /* depending on MBZ for sock/fifos */
--------------------

I hope you'll find that patch useful...
