 Posted: Fri Nov 10, 2006 8:47 pm Post subject: [solved] Kernel boot parameters |
 |
|
When I installed Gentoo, there was a boot parameter in grub.conf "init=/linuxrc". I recompiled my kernel and added the correct lines to grub.conf, leaving the init parameter.
Problem is, there is no /linuxrc anywhere on my system. So I'm assuming that parameter is meaningless and should be removed. I'd like to check in here first before I break the system.
Better yet, here is the entire line from grub.conf...
| Code: |
kernel /kernel-2.6.17-2006-11-10b init=/linuxrc root=/dev/sda8
|
Not sure what else I need in there, but can someone comment on the init parameter?[/code]

| The init parameter sets the initial command to be executed by the kernel. Default is to use /sbin/init. If your new install has an /sbin/init, you don't need the parameter. |
