David,
I can't provide you with a link to a lecture off the top of my head, and no longer having a need for building my own kernels, I've fallen back on using the distro built kernels. I do wonder if what the kernel is complaining about is an initrd rather than init. I know that the kernels supplied with Fedora use and initrd, as do the ones with Ubuntu. Perhaps that's what you are missing? If so, you can use mkinitrd to create one.
Thanks,
Hal

I have been trying to get a recent, unpatched, kernel to work with a fedora system. I am able to get the kernel to boot but things seem to stop for want of an /init program in the root directory. init=/sbin/init does not seem to help.
Who has a link to a current boot process explanation? not a howto, but a lecture, covering what is supposed to be happening at each point in a modern complex linux boot? _______________________________________________ Kclug mailing list Kclug@kclug.org http://kclug.org/mailman/listinfo/kclug
