autoexec isn't working
Posted: 21 Jul 2014, 20:02
I use porteus as the starting point for a kiosk O/S, and I'm trying to update from 2.0 to 3.0.
My startup scripts are in /usr/bin/start and I used to have this in my boot cfg file:
KERNEL /boot/vmlinuz
APPEND initrd=/boot/initrd.xz nomagic autoexec=/usr/bin/start
(I'm using an older version of syslinux that still wants the /boot in the paths, btw.)
That isn't working with the new version. I see the login screen for a sec, and then it seems to be going to run-level 4 (my stuff is not configured for run levels, so that fails miserably), and that /usr/bin/start script is never executed.
What should I be passing on the command line to run run a program, and skip all the run-level stuff.
