  • Would this be a documentation bug then ? Commented May 22, 2014 at 8:12
  • I see the documentation you linked is also dated 2003. So you could make that argument. If this was a common problem I'd blame the kernel for being inconsistent instead. In practice... if you keep reading the thread it suggests that using an initrd/initramfs to mount the rootfs instead could work around it, and initramfs is the common case nowadays (at least for non-embedded). My search also brought up specific complaints that this problem happened when booting without an initramfs. Which I should have mentioned if I wasn't being lazy.

  • This still seems to be an issue, just ran into this with a 5.4 kernel (only works with an initramfs). Commented Jan 11, 2024 at 22:38
