Init Process

ALL

A system administrator is working with a newly launched Linux distribution called XMars OS which utilizes an innovative init process.

The init process is divided into two stages: Stage$1$ and Stage$2.$

During Stage$1,$ the init process performs crucial system tasks such as hardware detection, device driver initialization, and system environment setup.

Once Stage$1$ is successfully completed, the system advances to Stage$2,$ where the init process carries out advanced operations, including module loading, network configuration, and launching user sessions.

While addressing a critical issue, the system administrator suspects a problem with the init process. During analysis, it is discovered that during the boot process, the system successfully completes Stage$1.$ However, the system fails to complete Stage$2,$ and the init process seems to halt indefinitely.

XMars OS uses a security feature that requires manual authentication using credentials which was not provided by the administrator.
