I read that knoppix can use INITRAMFS..But minirt.gz isn't an archive of INITRAMFS
Hi!
I have a little question about booting of knoppix...
Well, start with theory of booting with Initrd:
- kernel load into memory initrd image
- decompress it
- execute LINUXRC (yes, must be an executable or shell file called linuxrc )
- after that or linuxrc call /sbin/init or it's called automatically, otherwise kernel panic
Pratically
- knoppix put in boot command line a line like init=/etc/init
After many test that I do, I see the param init (in this case /etc/init) it's execute only if present another param like root=/dev/ram0
I see /etc/init in INITRD of knoppix contain a small script like
Hi!Code:/linuxrc exec /sbin/init < /dev/console > /dev/console ...

I think that script and relative boot parameter is useless, infact knoppix boot correctly without "init" file in /etc and without bootparam "init=/etc/init".Code:/linuxrc exec /sbin/init < /dev/console > /dev/console ...
But..my question is: if it's useless, why is still present?
I'm forgot something?
Cheers

Confirmed. Knoppix 4.0.2 will boot just fine without the "init=..."Originally Posted by Frunktz
Probably a vestige. Naturally, you're free to take in out in your own remasters.But..my question is: if it's useless, why is still present?
