On a related note (the listing of /dev/root reminded me), as of
2.4.19-pre7-ac2, I can no longer boot with a "root=/dev/discs/disc0/part1"
command line, I have to use "root=/dev/ide/host2/bus0/target0/lun0/part1". My
previous kernel (2.4.19-pre4-ac2-radix) and all ones before that worked fine
with the first version of the command line. Is this an intended change or is
it a bug? I can give more information if necessary, and it's happening on two
different AMD based systems with different chipsets.
