Hello all,
I have
just started the code walk through of the LINUX code. I just wanted to
confirm that the start_kernel routine is the first routine that is
invoked to bring up the LINUX OS, or is it something else. Also, I
wanted to know whether this routine is what is going to initialize the
network card drivers, or is it done somewhere else, using some other
mechanism.
I looked into the start_kernel code, and couldn't
find the initialization of the network driver. Am i missing something
here.
For your information, i have compiled the sources for 2.6.10 kernel.
Thanks in advance,
Sandeep
