OK, I have to apologize. I totally missed that you were exec'ing |
| 16 |
chroot. OK, I definately stand currected. But I was pretty sure I once |
| 17 |
did this from initramfs. But that was admittedly back in the 2.6.10 |
| 18 |
days, I think. Of course in this case /sbin/init also gets PID 1. |

(happy to not have been the one complaining to the kernel devs :-) and |
| 22 |
also forgetting to send attachments. I need a plugin that saves me from |
| 23 |
doing this, e.g. searching for the word "attachment" and complaining if |
| 24 |
there isn't one...) |
