Description Bret Towe 2005-11-23 21:15:19 UTC
genkernel allows for choosing what is the real root (real_root) but
real_init var doesnt allow you to choose what init to load
instead it passes an argument to init
was included via this bug #55376

i think this should be changed so real_init is what init to load
and a new variable created to pass arguments to init via

should be easy to do even with the old wrong ver out now
since one would just check for a existing file if its a file
run it otherwise odds are its a argument and needs to be done
the old way...

Created attachment 85595 [details, diff]
patch for real_initd option.

I'd prefer real_init as name, but it's already occupied. Hence, real_initd -- suggesting a daemon -- was chosen.

I haven't tested this patch in this isolated form, as my linuxrc is not as vanilla. However, the patch isn't too complicated.

Well, I changed real_init to be a chosen init daemon, and made real_init (the old oen) init_opts, to make it more logical.

Fixed in 3.4.0_pre1, thanks.
