Where is this printk?

Hi all,

does anyone know where this is printed out in kernel source?

Linux version 2.4.20 (root@codeman) (gcc version 2.95.4 20011002 (Debian prerelease)) #1 Mon Dec 16 16:54:44 CET 2002
BIOS-provided physical RAM map:
BIOS-e820: 0000000000000000 - 000000000009fc00 (usable)
BIOS-e820: 000000000009fc00 - 00000000000a0000 (reserved)
...

I only want to know where the first line is printed out (that is a dmesg output). I want to put in a printk just before the first line.

I thought somewhere in arch/$arch/kernel/setup.c but I cannot figure out where.

ciao, Marc

init/main.c start_kernel();

Nope, it's in linux/init/main.c, line 357 in 2.4.20:

	printk(linux_banner);

and linux_banner is in linux/init/version.c.

Hi Randy,

perfect! Thnx :)

ciao, Marc

init/version.c, see definition of linux_banner. Defines used by version.c is made by scripts/mkcompile_h
