angstrom-2008.1 fails on Simpad because of missing devices

[Torsten Sadowski]

Hi,

I tried to build a new x11-image for the Simpad. Unluckily it doesn't finish 
to boot. Does anyone know a simple solution?

Cheers, Torsten

Yes, if you using bootldr please update your linuxargs to not set init.
Currently it is set to /linuxargs as default. Unfortunately /linuxargs 
is now a symlink to busybox. So the busybox init is used which has an 
other syntax then sysv init.

I need to update the documentation at opensimpad.org about this - if you 
like you can change the documentation there. Sorry for your inconvenience.

A general question - is it the intended behaviour or should I try to fix 
busybox?

Best regards

Thank you, that did it.

Now I have a Simpad WITH sound.
