Hello!

I've just found that 2.5.50 can't open root device specified in
'root=/dev/sda3' form. As for me, following patch solves problem:

--- vanilla/linux-2.5.50/drivers/block/genhd.c Mon Nov 11 06:28:13 2002
+++ linux-2.5.50/drivers/block/genhd.c Thu Dec 5 18:17:27 2002

                disk->minors = minors;
                while (minors >>= 1)
                        disk->minor_shift++;
- kobject_init(&disk->kobj);
                disk->kobj.subsys = &block_subsys;
                INIT_LIST_HEAD(&disk->full_list);

kobject_init() will be called from kobject_register().

with best, regards
