I suppose that makes sense, I think the kernel is privileged enough to do what it wants. I must admit, when I read your original post I assumed you meant it was panicking.
Anyway, I start to wonder if something about both init and bash has been "compiled differently", or perhaps it's something in the interface twixt kernel and userspace. Any chance you could compile a _static_ bash (or init, or other shell), on a system with an older compiler, then try using that for init ? ĸen -- After tragedy, and farce, "OMG poneys!" -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
