OK, I have to apologize. I totally missed that you were exec'ing chroot. OK, I definately stand currected. But I was pretty sure I once did this from initramfs. But that was admittedly back in the 2.6.10 days, I think. Of course in this case /sbin/init also gets PID 1. -hwh (happy to not have been the one complaining to the kernel devs :-) and also forgetting to send attachments. I need a plugin that saves me from doing this, e.g. searching for the word "attachment" and complaining if there isn't one...) -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
