i was unable to pin this down, but it is indeed quite harmless if a bit annoying to the end user. This happens BEFORE init is run. I think Matt's explanation of unix.o is close (you do not get this message if you are using the idepci/compact flavors, which have unix.o built in). However, as this happens before init is run it probably doesn't have anything to do with syslog. One question for Erik, i tried adding some read and sleep statements in /etc/init.d/rcS, and it seems like they don't get run or don't work or something. Maybe you can explain this? > with regards for RC bugs in the BTS: > 65515 boot-floppies: update-modules requires /bin/bash > > should be fixed now, and marked closable in boot-floppies CVS definitely fixed. module parameters work as well. (finally!!!!) > 65988 modules unavailable because of wierd symlink did not see this in my test. i think we can close this. > 66284 PCMCIA Network setup not working again, did not see this in my test, suggest closing. (or at least downgrading) * * * The really good news -- I tried an install using joeyh's 2.2.16 build with both the default flavor and the idepci flavor. The install went without a hitch, no if's or but's... This is a pcmcia install, so i tested that as well.. modules worked fine, network setup worked fine, netfetch worked fine. On reboot, base-config worked without any glitches as well. I chose the simple install, selected a whole bunch of packages (including all the gnome ones). anXious came up, set up my XF86Config perfectly (hehhe..), and installed all my packages. all these were done over a http proxy on my local lan, so that seems to work fine as well. xdm came up, wmaker was run by default... all in all, a somewhat lengthy but nonetheless very good install. So I'd say 2.2.16 for i386 is definitely ready for upload, and probably ready for potato release. congrats all! randolph -- Debian Developer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.TauSq.org/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
