[Yaird-devel] Bug#365818: yaird: Fails to boot with an XFS filesystem

[Sven Riedel]

Package: yaird
Version: 0.0.12-9
Severity: normal

Hi,
I have XFS as my root filesystem type. Booting with
an initrd generated by yaird under linux 2.6.16.11 will
result in a kernel panic, because the root filesystem cannot
be mounted. The XFS driver (compiled into the kernel statically)
complains about a bad superblock.

This may be a bug in XFS, but since booting without the 
initrd with the same kernel works perfectly, I'm guessing
yaird is the culprit here. I'm booting via grub, /boot is not
a separate partition. 

Regs,
Sven
