I Hate Sh!t That Doesn't Work
Grrr. Ther is a routine that is part of network booting Linux called "pivot_root", that gets called in the "linuxrc" script (nash) in the initrd file. It is supposed to swap your root filesystem to the one that you will run on, rather that the one you booted from. Even using the instructions and examples in the 2.6.5 kernel Documentation, it doesn't friggin work!
It's bad enough that a lot of the older tools won't compile in things usefull with a 2.6 kernel because it's "too new". But this is annoyance making.
At least I'm getting paid, but my boss is starting to get impatient.
