[SSI-devel] initrd/linuxrc script on non-boot_node: stdout has disappeared - seeking advise

[Smith, S. <sta...@in...>]

Has anyone else witnessed the missing stdout messages to console from
linuxrc (echo) when booting a node other than the bootnode?=20

The linuxrc script 'echo' messages appear on console when booting the
bootnode. When booting a non-boot node, the only console output is from
kernel printk()s until after the ramdisk linuxrc script has terminated.

I've tried the following linuxrc tweaks with no linuxrc output on
non-bootnode consoles:
  removed 'setquiet' from linuxrc
  linuxrc 1st line as '#!/bin/bash -x'
  redirecting stdout to stderr for echo commands
  redirecting echo to /dev/console
 =20

Nodes are booting the R1-1-1 FC2 kernel from the source RPM, not CVS
sources.

Suggestions on how to proceed with debug?

Thanks,

Stan.
