Freeing unused kernel memory: 64k init ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~before this, everything is OK. INIT: version 2.84 booting Welcome.... From "INIT", system seems to start very slowly. "INIT" and other kernel infomation were printed out character by character with some kind of delay between them.It took even five minutes to mount a proc file system. What could be the problem? Is this becuase of disk configuation problem since init is the first program got called from disk? Jack Liu Jack_liu@usish.com ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list.
