I'm in the process of setting up a diskless client, and when the kernel (GENERIC from 4.10-RELEASE) boots it fails to load /sbin/init, reverting instead to /stand/sysinstall which loads and runs just fine. The init program exists in the proper directory on the server, but it just won't load. The kernel gives no error message. I've verified I'm using the right filesystem by renaming /stand/sysinstall to something else, which causes the client to panic (as it should). I tried boot -v, which just confirms that /sbin/init is being tried (as is /sbin/oinit and /sbin/init.bak). However, nothing seems to work except for sysinstall. Any suggestions? -- Milo Hyson Chief Mad Scientist CyberLife Labs
