[Sussex] segmentation fault on boot with kernel 2.4.22-gentoo-r7

[Tony Austin]

I have posted this to the Gentoo Forums, I wonder if any SLUG Gentoo buffs
can come up with an answer first:-

I am trying to to upgrade my kernel from 2.4.20-gentoo-r7 to 2.4.22 to
comply with a GLSA. I have tried both 2.4.22-r5 and 2.4.22-r7 with the
same results.

In the boot process when it tries to mount / read-only for checking, I get
the following error messages:

Code:

/dev/null


I have updated gcc to 3.3.2-r5 and recompiled both the kernel and
sys-apps/modutils as well as sys-apps/util-linux, which contains mount.

Any ideas?
