WikiIndex The Kernel Boot Process The previous post explained how computers boot up right up to the point where the boot loader, after stuffing the kernel image into memory, is about to jump into the kernel entry point. This last post about booting takes a look at the guts of the kernel to see how an operating system starts life. Since I have an empirical bent I’ll link heavily to the sources for Linux kernel 2.6.25.6 at the Linux Cross Reference. The sources are very readable if you are familiar with C-like syntax; even if you miss some details you can get the gist of what’s happening.

Revised Image Replacement code: Single-pixel <img> Replacement Radu Darvas proposed adding a one-pixel, transparent GIF image to the header to restore alt text. Revised Image Replacement Radu Method Radu has also conceived a method involving margin positioning to hide the text.
