Hello
After upgrade to kernel 2.5.28.8-1 today computer will not boot unless I manually type the root=/dev/sda2. I have attached tye lilo.conf below.
When it trys to boot I recieve an error with root fs cannot be detected. I booted with "arch rootfstype=ext3", it pass this point until it cannot create /dev/root. I did thy "arch rootfstype=ext3 rootdelay=8", still the same problem.
If I type "arch root=/dev/sda2" it will boot properly.
I have try re-running the kernel26 and lilo though pacman but the problem persist.
Anyone else have this problem ?
Thanks
Jason

Patched the problem with the below in the lilo.conf. It boot's normally now.

append="root=/dev/sda2"

I have the same problem since couple of days. downgrade of klibc-udev to 139 version solved the problem. And you solution also warks for me. I think something is broken that /dev/root symlink is missing.
