Please, for the future do that as 3 commits. It makes it easier to figure out which changes do what using cvs. Now these are all mixed into one commit and seperating deltas for examination is a pain. It also makes it next to imposible to pull just one of these 3 into another branch for evaluation. > NOTE: mounting root off cdrom or NFS MIGHT be broken as I haven't been able > to test those cases.. Loss of root mounting via NFS is a critical function for diskless operation, this should have been tested before commit :-(. > certainly mounting root of disk still works just fine.. > mfs should work but is untested. (tomorrows task) Again, mfs root is critical to installs, should have been tested before commit, not after. > The low level init stuff includes a total rewrite of init_main.c > to make it possible for new modules to have an init phase by simply > adding an entry to a TEXT_SET (or is it DATA_SET) list. thus a new module can > be added to the kernel without editing any other files other than the > 'files' file.
