Yeah, this was the problem. However, when fixing this, I've made
another disaster -- I unfortuantely removed also test_fs from
/ partition (not only /boot). And the result was pretty wild --
I got panicking kernel on boot with that (Linux refused to mount
/ on a partition with ext4 filesystem but without test_fs
option). We should really have some protection against stupid
users -- kernel panic is not a good reaction IMHO.
