Hello DECstation fans,
The DECstations here (5000/25 and 133) aren't able to run multi-user
yet, using the 2.1.131 kernel, when the system normally boots
and init is starting the last visible execution is the last line
of /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit, which is an echo, after that the machines
remains silent, ping-'ing them is possible and the only sign of life I
can discover.
When rc.sysinit drops into a shell because fstab is missing a line with
the root filesytem, the machines work fine because they've compiled
binutils, egcs and there own kernel which runs fine. `ps ax` in this
shell gives following result:
[root@fortuna /root]# ps ax
PID TTY STAT TIME COMMAND
1 ? S 0:00 init bo
2 ? SW 0:00 (kflushd)
3 ? SWN 0:00 (kswapd)
4 ? SW 0:00 (rpciod)
5 S2 S 0:00 init bo
6 S2 S 0:01 sh /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit
15 S2 S 0:01 -bash
32 S2 R 0:00 ps ax
And shows 2 init's to my surprise, which might be the cause of the
problem. But how is it possible that there are 2 init's running?
Regards,
Richard
