Ran in to a fascinating problem,
Background:
I need a custome compiled kernel that is static.. (i.e. all drivers built into the kernel... not modular) for a server system that is being built.
I have generated 2 kernels:
1 with module loading enabled.
1 with module loading disabled.
For the server system the kernel will be deployed on module loading must be disabled.
Problem:
If I try to boot the kernel with module loading disabled and the boot process halts with failure to open initial console. But, I boot the kernel with module loading enabled, and the boot proceeds fine everything functions.
The problem may be in the way udev is setup in the fedora core 3 initialization.
Questions:
1) Has anyone tried turning module loading off and booted
successfully? If so I would appreciate knowing how you
solved the boot problem I have run into.
2) Does anyone have a fix or suggestions of a fix for the
sysinit scripts for the system.
Thanks for any suggestions...
