The main problem is how you resolve the "not working". Dying will never a sane way to give up from pid 1. Try exec'ing something else instead, like a shell or a stripped down init not needing all those optional kernel fatures. And wrt the question about required kernel feaures: Why should the systemd pid1 require more features than other init systems? I have been told before when complaining about putting additional complexity into pid1 that this isn't true - that systemd really doesn't add dependencies to pid1 compared to alternative init systems. This doesn't seem to be completely true. Bjørn -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
