From: hugo vanwoerkom on 30 Jul 2010 14:00 Hi, I compiled Lenny's backport linux-source-2.6.32 2.6.32-15~bpo50+1 but it does not boot: it says 'Loading files...' and sits there. So I want to debug the initrd. The man page of initramfs-tools says: debug generates lots of output. It writes a log to /tmp/initramfs.debug. Instead when invoked with an arbitrary argument output is written to console. Use for example "debug=vc". So I set /etc/default/rcS TMPTIME=2 and used 'debug' but nothing is in /tmp. Anybody guess what goes on here? 'debug=vc' generates the output on the console and he is sleeping but it goes by too fst to see what went on so I want to look at the output. hugo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Neat tool. And the reason for all this came out negative: sensors-detect still finds no sensors... :-( Hugo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
