Summary:                    system mounted on /dev/root
Description: 
I'm playing about with buildroot at the moment. I've no real need for 
embedded linux but was interested in seeing how minimal a system I 
could use. When I try to boot into the system the root filesystem is 
/dev/root and mounted read-only.

I tried build root a few months ago and don't recall this being a 
problem. Google turns up nothing that appears to be relevant.

If I am booting with a 2.4 kernel (vmlinuz-ide-2.4.31 from slackware 
10.2) I can mount /dev/hda on /mnt and then use pivot_root to get a new 
root. If I boot a 2.6 kernel (vmlinuz-2.4.12-24mdk from mandriva 2006) I 
get a device busy message if I try the above.

I've tried a busybox snapshot (20060817) which seems to solve the problem.
I'm still experiemntimg with various combinations of uClibc, busybox and
buildroot.
