When trying to boot an alternative kernel from the loader prompt
it fails the first time the command is run but succeeds the second
time.
Type '?' for a list of commands, 'help' for more detailed help.
OK boot kernel.generic
Booting...
don't know how to load module '/boot/kernel.generic/kernel'
OK boot kernel.generic
Booting...
/boot/kernel.generic/kernel text=0xd21288 data=......
Both kernels where built from r249664 based source.
As a side issue, shouldn't additional kernel module dependencies
be noted in UPDATING so those that use MODULES_OVERRIDE don't get
bitten by machines failing to boot due to known dependencies?
Ideally it would be nice if there was some sort of warning when
building / installing the kernel that dependencies where missing.
Regards
Steve
