Subjectroot fs on usb - is patching kernel still needed?
Hello,

I've been trying to boot Linux from an root fs which is on an usb-stick
(kernel is on a bootdisk floppy).

Unfortunately, the kernel seems to try to mount the filesystem which is
on an usb-stick too fast, before usb shows up for the kernel.

While reading this list I found several patches solving this problem,
which wait a bit before root fs is mounted, which re-try in a loop to
mount root fs etc.


Are there any solutions for this problem in stable or pre- kernel tree
yet (2.4 or 2.6)? If not, will such a solution be ever included in a
stable kernel?

Or maybe are there any easier solutions for this (some lilo or grub option?)


Regards,

Tomasz Chmielewski
