Freeing unused kernel memory: 416k freed Warning: unable to open an initial console. Since it does not seem to be reaching the init stage but does seem to be finding the disks and mounting the filesystems it is getting much further along than I thought. I guess I have a problem with the console/terminal parts of the kernel compile/configuration. -----Original Message----- >From: Arjan van de Ven >Sent: Sep 30, 2009 11:47 AM >To: "Steven A.
