using 2.2.5 IA32-linux here
rdev output gave:
root@OLK:/root>rdev
/dev/sdc1 /
but look at mtab: df output gives this
root@OLK:/root>df

The root system is apearently on /dev/sdd1
but in reality it's /dev/sdc1 because /dev/sdd1 is look here:
root@OLK:/root>fdisk /dev/sdd (this is a ~120 Mb partition)

Here the output for /dev/sdc (which corresponds to /dev/sdd) strange?

Command (m for help):
the output of /dev/sdc1 corresponds to the df - output (see /dev/sdd1)
if i mount /dev/sdc1 then it's identical to the mounted root-fs;
but in fstab/and loadlin i tell to mount /dev/sdd1 for booting.
The only workaround is to recompile the kernel now though rdev does
change the kernel's-bzImage info, but it's ignored while booting.
Any hints?
To be honest i solved this problem by recompiling the kernel,
but i thought rdev should be strong enough enough. Even the boot
params don't override the incompiled-params of a kernel.
Little disapointed here,
later
