Hi. I'm trying to understand how a kernel boots on a x86 system, not regarding any loaders that have done their job before. Till now, I've checked initrd.txt, linuxboot-current.ps, tlki, lxr sites, init/*.c and groups.google.com - there are still some questions: 1) Is Almesberger's Documentation (initrd.txt), which is dated from 2000 in a RedHat distro, up to date with kernel version 2.4.19 ? 2) Does someone know about a pretty-looking piece of docs lying around, describing especially the mount procedures in do_mounts.c, together with backgrounds and principles ? Any pointers would be welcome .... Thx Michael -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel. Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/kernelnewbies/ FAQ: http://kernelnewbies.org/faq/
