2.5.54-mm3

I use an IBM X-30 Laptop, based on an i830-Intel Chipset, and experience similar problems. Once or twice a week I get a ro-root filesystem when booting. In that case dmesg shows the line "Trying to unmount old root ... failed"

If I do a 'mount -o remount /' and then a 'rm /dev/null; mknod -m 666 /dev/null c 1 3' everything reverts back to normal.

I currently run a SuSE 8.0 Kernel under ext2 - .config, dmesg and lspci -vv are attached . Since I have experienced the problem also with ext3, reiserfs on SuSE 8.0 and 8.1 kernels the problems seems to be independent of the filesystem used. I don't have a clue what to do next.

Any Ideas?
