kernel boot order

kernel boot order

[ameer armaly]

Hi all.
What determines the order in which parts of the kernel are loaded?  Is it
in main.c or omsething like that or is it in the link order, or something
totally different.
Please reply privately to me at ameer@charter.net since I can't handle 300
msgs a day.
Thanks,



Ameer

What do you mean by what parts? The kernel enables your system devices, and then
other services are started based on what you have specified to start at the run
level you've set the machine to boot to.

Please clarify your question so that I may better answer it.

Unless it's explicity called from init/main.c, then it's initcall level 
then link order that determines the order.

I reffer to the various modules that are linked directly linked into the
kernel; that are set to y in make config.
