Running 2.6.35-r8. I suspected hal, as well. If I look through my /var/log/dmesg output, the load messages are almost identical to yours before I emerge the set. Unfortunately unmerging and re-emerging hal didn't seem to do anything. Then again -- would hal really have anything to do with the ke

Hi, I'm curious if there's a way to capture the exact set of command that my machine executes as it boots up. I.e. - if I boot the machine, letting the boot loader find the kernel but then stopping at a bash prompt, before anything much has been done, I'd then like to know what set of commands I
