Hey,
I'm running the latest kernel pull from the mvista powerpc 2.4 dev
source. I built a root file system using Busybox 1.2.0 and the mkrootfs
script by Wolfgang Klingauf (removed all DOS carriage returns). When the
system boots up, i'm getting this output.
Mounted devfs on /dev
Freeing unused kernel memory: 44k init
init started: BusyBox v1.2.0 (2006.09.06-19:44+0000) multi-call binary
Starting pid 10, console /dev/console: '/etc/init.d/rcS'
Bummer, could not run '/etc/
PowerPC Linux 2.4.26
(none) login: root
Process '/sbin/getty 38400 tts/0' (pid 11) exited. Scheduling i
PowerPC Linux 2.4.26
(none) login:
it keeps looping through the login every time I try to enter root. I
have the root user in the passwd file, and I believe I have the RFS
setup properly. What would cause this kind of an issue? Is this a
problem related to getty? or just a missing file or device of some kind?
Thanks

Hi Clint,
You know in the back of my head (very dusty place) I seem to recall
that this is a Busybox issue with getty. Something about security.
Not sure... but I'd check with their forums.
