Description Phungte Ha 2002-10-16 21:10:03 UTC 
    depends on the name of the root device, for instance:
"nfs:phungte2:/local/diskless_root" the kernel can returns 1 from setrootbyname() in vfs_conf.c or can crash.

Fix: 

in setrootbyname(), the line parsing the name is currently like this:
      while (cp != '\0' && (*cp < '0' || *cp > '9'))
              cp++;
