and the box still won't boot.
The reason FC6 doesn't boot is there is a userspace tool I believe in the initrd that cares about symlinks when it should not.
It is not just nash. Also multipathd would fail (as it expects the /sys/scsi_host/..<something> in certain directories), and 'lsscsi'. There might be other tools that depend on libsysfs to be affected by this as well.
No tool should use libsysfs, that code broke a _long_ time ago. Do you know of anything using it?
Oh, and I think 'udev' might have some trouble too - but not 100% certain about that.
Heh, no udev works just fine :)
So basically, it's just the block links that are being affected, so that might let me narrow down the code covered by the depreciated option.
