I don't understand your complain... I can boot a current day kernel with init=/bin/sh just fine.

  But, in contrast, you cannot shut it down just fine without being really careful. * http://unix.stackexchange.com/a/195978/5132 http://unix.stackexchange.com/a/195978/5132 * http://unix.stackexchange.com/a/197472/5132 http://unix.stackexchange.com/a/197472/5132 * http://askubuntu.com/a/638165/43344 http://askubuntu.com/a/638165/43344

    If not the patch from Linus himself, firmware loading would stay impossible without (broken) udev - https://lwn.net/Articles/518942/ https://lwn.net/Articles/518942/

      Ah yes, use external leverage to force a parallelization of kernel code that worked just fine, and damn reliably, in serial form. What is it with userspace devs an a fetish for paralleliation?!

        That's not how it works with free software. Patches are welcome, force is not.

        Performance on these new fangled multi-core machines kids are using these days.
