Re: kernel executable?

[Ron <ke7rt@clearwater.net>]

OK,  so now I think the kernel is booted and init has started…..cause I got
the message:

	"Press I for interactive startup"

In rc.sysinit I found where that is and I edited  it as follows to echo to
the screen so I could see where it hung…….


If  $Prompt………
……echo …..Press I for interactive start

sleep 1
fi

echo Rontest 1
sleep 2

#Fix console loglevel

echo Rontest 2
sleep 2

#mount /proc

echo rontest 2
sleep 2


I did boot to the original kernel   and saw all these echoes


Then I booted to my new kernel   and "Lo and Behold" it never even made it
to Rontest 1 ?????

A few questions arise now….


1.  Are we already multi-tasking and somebody else is hung up???…….  That is
pretty simple script but it sure aint happening!!!!!!!!!


	2  When I originally installed this from the RH CDROM, it made a kernel
that obviously works,  Is there any way I can tell how that kernel is
configured?????   I did make a .config file of the new kernel and  I could
compare to get an idea  of how I mis-configed this one


3.  Is there a way to trap all the messages that fly by before I get to the
interactive query??  Then maybe????   I could spot something…….


Thanks   Ron
