Loadlin and kernel booting info
I need some seriously detailed info on how the kernel boots.
I looked at the LoadLin source code and I understand it all just fine except for a DB block of assembler code in the middle that's annoying me. I searched for info on booting kernels over a network, to see what boot loaders are used there. Didn't find much. Can anyone help me? |
to boot over a network, linux uses the same bootloader as it would for bootin a standalone.
u have to change a line or 2 in lilo.conf to the network drive u wanna boot from. |
The linux kernel internals guide explains the whole process pretty good. The first chapter explains the whole boot process.
