initrd; /linuxrc getpid() != 1



-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

Hi.  This one kept me up late last night, and I still haven't solved it.

I'm booting a machine from compact flash.  Everything works, but when I
attempt to pivot_root and exec the real init, /sbin/init exits and it's
tears for everyone.

The problem is that the kernel is calling my /linuxrc with a PID of 9, as
swapper, kapmd, kswapd, etc. are using up PIDs 1-8.  So init thinks that
it's only telinit and it does not therefore bring the system up.  What's
going on?  Why is Linux calling /linuxrc with this PID?

I'm using 2.4.20-xfs + LVM2 dm patches with GRUB

Thanks much for any input.
