Test this rc.sysinit

#1 Post by jlst »

I've been doing some research, look:
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=883566

With this rc.sysinit I was able to boot correctly the following puppies:

- slacko 6.3.0 - 'huge' kernel 3.14.55
- precise puppy - old kernel 3.2.48 [no devtmpfs]
- precise puppy - old kernel 3.9.11 [no devtmpfs]
- precise puppy - 'huge' kernel 3.14.55

New puppies use a slightly different rc.sysinit, this rc.sysinit makes 2 become 1.

Details:
* includes code from woof-ce/woof-code/huge_extras/rc.sysinit
* more info that goes into /tmp/bootsysinit.log
* a few tweaks

--

Instructions:

1) Install the pet file in a test install.
Keep using and configuring puppy.
Report whether it's working as expected or not...

Euh... thanks jlst, I'm sure there's a lot of work involved there, but...
what does an "rc.sysinit" do? :)

Nothing special.
It is mainly useful for full installs PUPMODE 2 .

@Karl_Godt:

Isn't that the script the kernel modules are loaded from? I'd need a script like that
for my new Wheezy Pooches, in which the kernel modules do not load automatically.

Thanks in advance for any pointers.
