I managed to start init, but it fails somewhere in running scripts in rcS.d. I have : README S30checkfs.sh S40networking S01devfsd S30etc-setserial S41portmap S02mountvirtfs S30procps.sh S45mountnfs.sh S05bootlogd S35devpts.sh S46setserial S05keymap.sh S35mountall.sh S48console-screen.sh S09scsitools-pre.sh S35mountkernfs S50hwclock.sh S10checkroot.sh S38pppd-dns S51ntpdate S18hwclockfirst.sh S39dns-clean S55bootmisc.sh S20dns-clean S39ifupdown S55urandom S20module-init-tools S39pppstatus-clean S70nviboot S20modutils S40hostname.sh S70xfree86-common S22scsitools.sh S40hotplug S75sudo I see *sometimes* the first devfsd message but almost nothing else. I think I also manage to partially initialize usbdevfs on /proc/bus/usb. It looks like due to an asynchronuous (irq) event, something deadlocks the machine. -- __ / ` Eric Valette /-- __ o _. 6 rue Paul Le Flem (___, / (_(_(__ 35740 Pace Tel: +33 (0)2 99 85 26 76 Fax: +33 (0)2 99 85 26 76 E-mail: eric.valette@free.fr - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
