Hi Folks,
I try to build my own Knoppix based CD. For this I try to build my own initrd.
Ok my first problem was that the kernel didn't start my linuxrc. I found the reason. If the
root-Filesystem (root= parameter from syslinux) is the same as ram0 (in my case the initrd-fs) the kernel didn't execute linuxrc and step over to execute init.
(this is in do_mounts.c in function "void prepare_namespace(void)" - Linux 2.4.20)

Ok.. I that this is no problem. I will pass no root boot option (or a wrong) and I'll set this in linuxrc but... in this case the kernel stops because he couldn't load modules and other messages (depending with root-option you give)

My question: Do you know how knoppix handle this issue?

Thanks,
Thomas
