I don't understand what this will do? Or what you mean? Could you sens me a patch to change disklessrc? He probably means that rather than running "exec /sbin/init --init" from linuxrc, we should rather go along with the "standard" routine like in a normal initrd, i.e. setting up everything, "echo 0x100 > /proc/sys/kernel/real-root-dev", pivot_root(), then exit which will start /sbin/init from the kernel rather than from the initrd. This bug is now fixed in all latest versions of {system,redhat}-config-netboot.

From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021204 Description of problem: The file /usr/share/redhat-config-netboot/diskless/disklessrc calls at the very end 'exec /sbin/init --init'. The problem is that during init 6 the init will started exit and the kernel will continue the as if the linuxrc has just ended. This will lead into kernel-panic as the kernel tries to mount root-filesystem. It would be better to use "echo 0x100 > real-root-dev" Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install netboot 2.netboot 3.check your console Additional info:
