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. -stv
