Thread-topic: [Xen-devel] [Fwd: Installing from distribution CDs]

Anthony, I don't understand the need for the following patch:

--- xen-2.0-new/linux-2.6.9-xenU/init/main.c~   2005-01-11
14:43:52.000000000 -0600

        if (execute_command)
                run_init_process(execute_command);
 
+       run_init_process("/linuxrc");
        run_init_process("/sbin/init");
        run_init_process("/etc/init");
        run_init_process("/bin/init");



Looking at the following fragment in initrd_load it should call
handle_initrd which looks for /linuxrc anyway:

                if (rd_load_image("/initrd.image") && ROOT_DEV !=
Root_RAM0) {
                        sys_unlink("/initrd.image");
                        handle_initrd();
                        return 1;
                }
 
Can we figure out what the root cause of the problem is? 

Thanks,
Ian
