Re: [BProc] bpslave child process dies

[steven j. <py...@li...>]

Greetings,

I regularly use the initrd from beoboot in the elf image. It's not that.

Shooting in the dark: any chance the kernel or modules are compiled fro
the wrong kind of processor (K7 on a P 4 for example)?

If possable, try serial console on the slave to see if there's an OOPS
associated with the failure.

G'day,
sjames
