but the init starts only after the kernel has completed its booting and the built-in drivers should be initialized before init is run. if u see the kernel entry point init() in init/main.c, the /sbin/init is loaded only in the end.
I did not mean from /sbin/init. the modules are called in the init.c in do_initcalls(). http://lxr.linux.no/source/init/main.c#L530 i think it is the process context. for example task_struct is already created in memory. the exec of /sbin/init is done last. regards Manish Regmi -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
