OK, so now I think the kernel is booted and init has started?..cause I got the message: "Press I for interactive startup" In rc.sysinit I found where that is and I edited it as follows to echo to the screen so I could see where it hung??. If $Prompt??? ??echo ?..Press I for interactive start sleep 1 fi echo Rontest 1 sleep 2 #Fix console loglevel echo Rontest 2 sleep 2 #mount /proc echo rontest 2 sleep 2 I did boot to the original kernel and saw all these echoes Then I booted to my new kernel and "Lo and Behold" it never even made it to Rontest 1 ????? A few questions arise now?. 1. Are we already multi-tasking and somebody else is hung up?????. That is pretty simple script but it sure aint happening!!!!!!!!! 2 When I originally installed this from the RH CDROM, it made a kernel that obviously works, Is there any way I can tell how that kernel is configured????? I did make a .config file of the new kernel and I could compare to get an idea of how I mis-configed this one 3. Is there a way to trap all the messages that fly by before I get to the interactive query?? Then maybe???? I could spot something??.
