From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20021003 Description of problem: If explicit mount options for the root (/) file systems are specified in /etc/fstab, rather than "defaults", then mounting of / during boot fails resulting in a kernel panic. All options are valid mount options, and the same string of explicit parameters work for filesystems other than /. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install RedHat Linux with root filesystem formatted as ext3 2.edit /etc/fstab 3.for root filesystem, replace "defaults" in mount parameters with explicit parameters, e.g., auto,nouser,suid 4) reboot Actual Results: Boot fails. At pivotroot, mount of ext3 / filesystem fails with error saying bad parameter. Since root (/) filesystem cannot mount, init cannot start. Expected Results: Machine completes boot into RH. Additional info: Mounting root filesystem EXT3-fs: unrecognized mount option nouser mount: error 22 mounting ext3 pivotroot: pivot_root(sysroot,sysroot/initrd) failed: 2 umount /initrd/proc failed: 2 Freeing unused kernel memory: 172k freed Kernel panic: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel
