That's _way_ into the boot sequence. Init has already started, and /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit is setting up userspace. Look in that script, and see where it's hanging. In my rc.sysinit script, dmesg and mounting /proc are the two things after that message. Both of those talk to the kernel. Did you configure PROC_FS support? You get the idea...start from where you know it's working and move forward until you find the problem. You may need to make an initrd as well since RH kernels tend to be very modular. good luck, -chris -- Linux Security Modules http://lsm.immunix.org http://lsm.bkbits.net -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
