Good info -- thank you!

Have any thoughts on how to trace an init process that apparently goes off into 
the weeds? My 2.6 on my 7400 boots great and finds the initrd that I pass in 
using bootloader_static <...> --initrd= (I assume the initrd file is put in an 
absolute location in RAM by bootloader.o from within the 2.4 kernel as a passed 
file parameter)...

Anyways, the process croaks when it hits what I believe is the actual 
/sbin/init step, but I am somewhat at a loss at a quick way to debug that.

Any ideas welcome?
