I was trying to find out , when is the initialization done if the driver is resident into the kernel (in-built).
I didnot find any thing in the driver source code.do_initcalls (init/main.c)
Thanks for the reply.
But isn't this function called after the root file system has been mounted (CMIIW) and in case of nfsroot we need the network driver. So the network driver need to be initialized before the root file system is mounted...
Sorry for the earlier mail.
Root file system is mounted (prepare_namespace()) after the do_initcalls() .
So the network driver in indeed initialized when we are mounting the root filesystem.
Thanks
