LFS does not use initrd by default. The first program that runs is /sbin/init and that reads /etc/inittab and that controls what else is run. > When is the getty section run in the above sequence? It is run by /sbin/init in accordant with instructions in /etc/inittab. > Also upon looking at the boot scripts I am a bit confused here: > > cleanfs is suppose to clean /var/lock and /var/run amongst other > filestsysems, since they are symlinks to /run and /run is a tmpfs why > would they need cleaned? Should it not already be clean? If they are not symlinks, they need to be cleaned. Normally, as you observed, they will be empty. > I found the above because I didn't have the /run line in the fsatb and > bad things happened when it was missing...would not get to the login, > it would boot but hang at the "whats on the usb" phase of the bootup. What can I say. Follow the instructions. Otherwise, you get to keep the pieces of the broken system. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
