 Posted: Thu Jun 07, 2007 8:10 pm Post subject: kernel messages after init start ? |
 |
|
Hi,
In the Gentoo boot sequence, kernel messages, for example
| Code: |
input: ImPS/2 Logitech Wheel Mouse as class/input/input1
|
or the ones for USB devices, appear (as expected) before the messages of rc scripts (those with the '[ok]').
However, in a personally build system (as well as on slackware), some kernel messages, like the one for the mouse or USB devices, appear in the middle of the rc messages. The system is otherwise ok.
Does anybody know why ? I couldn't find any answer by looking at the (clean) Gentoo init scripts, nor at the 'init' doc and the net.
Maybe the kernel use some kind of "parallel stuff" with init and udev, really don't know. |

This is what I thought first, but I'm afraid that's not possible: no kernel modules are loaded at all.
The system is very minimalist. As example, if the kernel is recompiled without USB support _build in_,
then 'USB kernel messages' disappear. |

A computer can actually do more than one thing at a time, or rather in the very technical sense, run two scripts or programs at the same time, and well you can only output things one line at a time, and well some things are still being run and still printing and get thrown in the queue, and it doesn't come out neat all the time.

That's the point, in fact. But, I was expecting the kernel loads the built in drivers before 'init' takes place, as this is done (at least by looking at boot messages) in Gentoo.
You are telling me this is not necessarily the case. So, in which configuration file, or whatever other place, can we see/modify this ?
I have an easy solution, but I'd prefer a complete one  |
