 The issue is still open. It turns out that starting with 2.6.29-rc1 /proc/mounts already has a "sysfs" line when entering the startup scripts from initrd. This breaks the RHEL4 firmware hotplug script.

Simple fix to user space is available. I do not know how important this issue is.

Anyway, I am in the process of bisecting the problem. It is just a bit tedious in the my customers and employers environment :-(

Cheers
Martin
