Description of problem:
get the following messages during yum update of kernel-2.6.13-1.1567_FC5:

find: warning: Unix filenames usually don't contain slashes (though pathnames do).  That means that '-name /dev/hda3' will probably evaluate to false all the time on this system.  You might find the '-wholename' test more useful, or perhaps '-samefile'.  Alternatively, if you are using GNU grep, you could use 'find ... -print0 | grep -FzZ /dev/hda3'.

Comment 1 Frank Arnold 2005-09-22 16:13:11 UTC 
Should be moved to mkinitrd.
I don't see this on my system but got the message 'Found root device /dev/hda1'
during install. This message is triggered by mkinitrd, which contains 'find'
with '-name' switch and was updated today (4.2.22-1).
Comment 2 Michal Jaegermann 2005-10-01 18:42:44 UTC 
The orginal report is really confusing. "..unknown symbol __compound_literal.xxx"
messages are really coming from the kernel, this is a duplicate of bug
#168988, and it looks like that gcc-4.0.1 is really the culprit.  See
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=112817350819818&w=2

Only now I noticed that at the bottom of all that is tacked a real mkinitrd
issue.  In bug #169661 there is a more precise description.
Comment 3 Frank Arnold 2005-10-02 06:00:26 UTC 
Sorry. I didn't take these __compound_literal warnings serious because this
problem was known to me. It's fixed anyway:
gcc-4.0.2-1
-----------
* Fr Sep 30 2005 Jakub Jelinek  <jakub> 4.0.2-1
- fix a bug which caused undefined __compound_literal.* symbols
  on Linux kernel (PR middle-end/24109)

The mkinitrd issue should be fixed too (works for me):
mkinitrd-5.0.3-1
----------------
* Sa Okt 01 2005 Peter Jones <pjones> - 5.0.3-1
- fix root dev discovery to give us "hda3" and such again, rather than
  a full sysfs path
