Boot procedure docs

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



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
