That's just a part of the kernel, and does not affect your problem. > 2. Why is VFS involved Virtual File System - The kernel mounts / readonly. Internally, the kernel thinks all file systems are VFS. > 3. Does init=/bin/bash go into grub.cfg? Yes > 4. What normally follows 'rc used greatest stack depth: 5828 bytes left'??? INIT: version 2.88 booting Does /sbin/init exist? It should be about 45K in size. On my system: $ file /sbin/init /sbin/init: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.22, not stripped Just because somebody will ask, the GNU/Linux 2.6.22 part of the above is from when we built glibc: --enable-kernel=2.6.22.5 -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
