Alas, /etc/rc (or linuxrc) dying is a real pain to troubleshoot. You basically have to stick a bunch of "echo got to line nnnn" statements into it, and figure out how far you got. One thing we could do is add an option that would enable these "markers" (they would normally be disabled) and then we could have an alternate boot mode that enables this flag in syslinux.cfg... It doesn't happen a lot, but it does happen frequently enough (and is enough of a pain) to warrant having a standard plan-of-attack when it does. Even if we only have "coarse granularity"... -Philip ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H _______________________________________________ Astlinux-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/astlinux-users Donations to support AstLinux are graciously accepted via PayPal to [email protected].
