Re: 2.6.12 initrd module loading seems parallel on bootup

["Darryl L. Miles" <darryl@netbauds.net>]

The exact patch for kernel/module.c that was marked for 2.6.11-rcX hit 
general release in patch-2.6.12.

What $PID is bash running as ?  Martin's comments on this are seem most 
relevant.

Can you build your own (2 pages of code) init process, that does 
something along the lines of
* gracefully handles SIGCHLD
* forks
* executes bash
* waits for bash to exit much like the patch does

So bash is not running a pid 1.  While nash is expected to run as init, 
bash is not, so fixing bash might also break it (its a complex beast).
