Description wravery 1998-11-11 13:15:13 UTC
In /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit, there is a check to see if it
should start kerneld or if it should use kmod.  The init
script for kerneld doesn't make this check, so even though
rc.sysinit correctly handles a 2.1 kernel by not starting
kerneld, the init script starts it anyway later on.  Either
the kerneld init script should be modified to make the same
check, or it should be ditched in favor of starting kerneld
from rc.sysinit.
