[Devil-linux-develop] GRsec message during boot

[Friedrich L. <fl...@fl...>]

Hi!

I'm currently analyzing the way DL boots and therefore often watching the boot 
process. Lots of the time (approx. 90%) I see a GRsec message right after the 
initrd starts. For the exact message see the screenshot at 
<ftp://ftp.fl.priv.at/pub/devil-linux/1.2.x/screenshots/2006-05-25-grsec-msg-during-boot-01.png>.

Does somebody know where this is coming from? As far as I can interpret this 
message busybox (don't know which subcommand of it) seems to request to big a 
stack segment.

The commands in question between the two echo's:

   echo -n "Version "; $YELLOW; echo ${DL_VERSION}; $NORMAL

   [...code for subroutines supressed...]

   # make sure all kernel warnings get lost (seriously!)
   klogd -c 1

   # mount proc
   mount -n -t proc none /proc

   # mount usb
   mount -n -t usbdevfs none /proc/bus/usb

   # print our current running kernel version
   echo Kernel $(uname -r)

Adding echo commands inbetween the command invocations it looks like the first 
mount command is the offender.

Anybody can make sense of this?

PS: Currently I'm running DL with QEMU but I've seen the same with VMware too.
