/dev/root

[Nicola Frignani]

i've a 2.4.19 kernel and it works well producing in mtab

rootfs on / type rootfs (rw)
/dev/root on / type auto (rw)

when i recompile 2.4.22 evreything goes right but in /etc/lilo.conf i found

~~~old
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.19-16mdk-23.12.2002
	label=2419NF-23.12.02
	root=/dev/sda1
	read-only
	optional
	vga=normal
	append=" devfs=mount hda=ide-scsi hdb=ide-scsi hdc=ide-scsi"
	initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.19-16mdk-23.12.2002.img
~~~new
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.22NF-09.03
	label=2422NF-0903
	root=#/dev/root
	read-only
	optional
	vga=normal
	append=" devfs=mount hda=ide-scsi hdb=ide-scsi hdc=ide-scsi"
	initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.22NF-09.03.img

if i correct root=#/dev/root to root=/dev/sda1 to linuxbox goes to kernel
panic at the boot giving this error

kmod: failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -k -s auto , errno = 2
kmod: failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -k -s freeauto , errno = 2


if i compile the same kernel configuration to an exactly copy of this machine
it works correctly, but in the other the mtab gives

/dev/sda1 on / type ext3 (rw)


what's wrong?

thanks all
