Documentation/init.txt: convert to ReST markup
- use a quote blocks where needed; - use ``foo`` for monotonic; - adjust whitespaces and blank lines; - fix the second list (that starts with 0, instead of A) - add it to the user's book. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@s-opensource.com>

@ -5,6 +5,7 @@ OK, so you've got this pretty unintuitive message (currently located
|

in init/main.c) and are wondering what the H*** went wrong.
|
||||
Some high-level reasons for failure (listed roughly in order of execution)
|
||||
to load the init binary are:
|
||||
|
||||
A) Unable to mount root FS
|
||||
B) init binary doesn't exist on rootfs
|
||||
C) broken console device
|
||||
|
@ -12,37 +13,39 @@ D) binary exists but dependencies not available
|

E) binary cannot be loaded

Detailed explanations:

0) Set "debug" kernel parameter (in bootloader config file or CONFIG_CMDLINE)

A) Set "debug" kernel parameter (in bootloader config file or CONFIG_CMDLINE)
|
||||
to get more detailed kernel messages.
|
||||
A) make sure you have the correct root FS type
|
||||
(and root= kernel parameter points to the correct partition),
|
||||
B) make sure you have the correct root FS type
|
||||
(and ``root=`` kernel parameter points to the correct partition),
|
||||
required drivers such as storage hardware (such as SCSI or USB!)
|
||||
and filesystem (ext3, jffs2 etc.) are builtin (alternatively as modules,
|
||||
to be pre-loaded by an initrd)
|
||||
C) Possibly a conflict in console= setup --> initial console unavailable.
|
||||
C) Possibly a conflict in ``console= setup`` --> initial console unavailable.
|
||||
E.g. some serial consoles are unreliable due to serial IRQ issues (e.g.
|
||||
missing interrupt-based configuration).
|
||||
Try using a different console= device or e.g. netconsole= .
|
||||
Try using a different ``console= device`` or e.g. ``netconsole=``.
|
||||
D) e.g. required library dependencies of the init binary such as
|
||||
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 missing or broken. Use readelf -d <INIT>|grep NEEDED
|
||||
to find out which libraries are required.
|
||||
``/lib/ld-linux.so.2`` missing or broken. Use
|
||||
``readelf -d <INIT>|grep NEEDED`` to find out which libraries are required.
|
||||
E) make sure the binary's architecture matches your hardware.
|
||||
E.g. i386 vs. x86_64 mismatch, or trying to load x86 on ARM hardware.
|
||||
In case you tried loading a non-binary file here (shell script?),
|
||||
you should make sure that the script specifies an interpreter in its shebang
|
||||
header line (#!/...) that is fully working (including its library
|
||||
header line (``#!/...``) that is fully working (including its library
|
||||
dependencies). And before tackling scripts, better first test a simple
|
||||
non-script binary such as /bin/sh and confirm its successful execution.
|
||||
To find out more, add code to init/main.c to display kernel_execve()s
|
||||
non-script binary such as ``/bin/sh`` and confirm its successful execution.
|
||||
To find out more, add code ``to init/main.c`` to display kernel_execve()s
|
||||
return values.
|
||||
|
||||
Please extend this explanation whenever you find new failure causes
|
||||
(after all loading the init binary is a CRITICAL and hard transition step
|
||||
which needs to be made as painless as possible), then submit patch to LKML.
|
||||
Further TODOs:
|
||||
- Implement the various run_init_process() invocations via a struct array
|
||||
which can then store the kernel_execve() result value and on failure
|
||||
log it all by iterating over _all_ results (very important usability fix).

|

- Implement the various ``run_init_process()`` invocations via a struct array
|
||||
which can then store the ``kernel_execve()`` result value and on failure
|
||||
log it all by iterating over **all** results (very important usability fix).
|
||||
- try to make the implementation itself more helpful in general,
|
||||
e.g. by providing additional error messages at affected places.
