Differences in the Boot Processes of Other Architectures


Once the Red Hat Linux kernel loads and hands off the boot process to the init command, the same sequence of events occurs on every architecture. So the main difference between each architecture’s boot process is in the application used to find and load the kernel. For example, the Alpha architecture uses the aboot boot loader, while the Itanium architecture uses the ELILO boot loader.
