Hi, I have been trying out 2.4.0-ac6, and the RedHat 6.1 init scripts really don't like it. (They liked 2.4.0-ac3 OK.) The visible symptom is that rc.sysinit now hangs, waiting for me to press 'i'. Once I do, it successfully hands over to the correct runlevel script, and I can go back to non-interactive boot-up by pressing 'C'. Once I've finally booted, "ps -ef" looks suspiciously empty: UID PID PPID C STIME TTY TIME CMD root 1 0 3 17:12 ? 00:00:04 init root 2 1 0 17:12 ? 00:00:00 [keventd] root 3 1 0 17:12 ? 00:00:00 [kswapd] root 4 1 0 17:12 ? 00:00:00 [kreclaimd] root 5 1 0 17:12 ? 00:00:00 [bdflush] root 6 1 0 17:12 ? 00:00:00 [kupdate] root 68 1 0 17:12 ? 00:00:00 [khubd] root 102 1 0 17:12 ? 00:00:00 [usb-storage-0] root 521 1 0 17:13 tty2 00:00:00 /sbin/mingetty tty2 root 522 1 0 17:13 tty3 00:00:00 /sbin/mingetty tty3 root 523 1 0 17:13 tty4 00:00:00 /sbin/mingetty tty4 root 524 1 0 17:13 tty5 00:00:00 /sbin/mingetty tty5 root 525 1 0 17:13 tty6 00:00:00 /sbin/mingetty tty6 root 528 520 0 17:13 tty1 00:00:00 -bash root 544 528 0 17:14 tty1 00:00:00 ps -ef These are the processes running on my system, according to the /proc filesystem: 344 355 371 387 403 419 459 477 520 521 522 523 524 525 528 545 It looks as if all userspace processes unser 500 are missing, for some reason. Does -ac6 need an update for ps, or is this a kernel bug? I am using a UP i586 (P90), no devfs.
