Does anybody have any ideas why my /linuxrc script should be running with a PID of 7 ? This causes /sbin/init to fall over as in log below. I've seen some similar questions in other newsgroup archives but no answers as to what I've done or missed in my configuration.
The kernel is built using the config-2.4.18-ltsp-1 from the LTSP initrd-kit download with sources from ftp.kernel.org. The initrd is built using the buildk script from the initrd-kit The kernel and initrd are then loaded by pxelinux and then everything seems to be going fine until /linuxrc finishes. Thanks for any advice. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~ Loading vmlinuz.............. NET4: Unix domain sockets 1.0/SMP for Linux NET4.0.
