Here are some questions that arise out of that documentation: 1. When does /linuxrc run? When does it not? 2. Does /linuxrc require the use of pivot_root? 3. What filesystems should be unmounted? 4. Can /proc be unmounted? What about /newroot/proc? What about /newroot? 5. What filesystems can the initrd be? 6. Where IS pivot_root? On at least a half a dozen systems I looked at, it wasn't there... 7. How is Linux 2.4 different than 2.2? 8. Where is the initrd.gz actually put? ROOT= value? /dev/ram0? 9. Is ROOT= where the RAM disk is put or where the actual true system ROOT is located? Some of the answers I get from trial and error, some from reading kernel source and puzzling it out. Mostly from reboot.... reboot... reboot.... reboot.... reboot... at floppy speeds. That document is not very clear at all. -- David Douthitt UNIX Systems Administrator HP-UX, Unixware, Linux [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Leaf-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-devel
