I found my system configured just like yours. However, I fixed the
problem another way. The major difference between my .80 kernel and the
.91 one, is that the latter has a.out support as a module and the former
has it built-in. Thus is .80, the loggers were loadable even though
kerneld wasn't available yet. 'file /sbin/syslogd' says it is "Linux/i386
demand-paged executable (QMAGIC) - stripped". I can only assume that this
is not loadable by a kernel with only ELF support.
Anyone know what file type these should be to be loaded in an ELF only
system?
