I will leave them disabled for now until I have a full working system via NFS (unless someone advises me otherwise). My system was getting stuck at the following piece of code. I don't know was SASH is but it is defined at the top of the file. I commented it out to see what would happen. I also noticed that Magnus Damm's ADS modifications also has the "#define SASH 1" commented out. What is the purpose of SASH and the implication of undefining it ? #ifdef SASH { int i, pid; pid = kernel_thread(do_linux_sash, "sash", SIGCHLD); if (pid > 0) while (pid != wait(&i)); } #else .... #endif After undefining it, the kernel got further. It gets to the point where it tries to run /bin/sh and then just sits there. Here is the last part of the console ouput. Any ideas where to go from here.
