From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Christian SCHWARZ Date: Tue, 06 May 2008 09:23:15 +0200 Subject: [Buildroot] link to busybox In-Reply-To: References: <547821.98673.qm@web94103.mail.in2.yahoo.com> Message-ID: <48200763.6090600@st.com> List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: buildroot@busybox.net The respawn problem typically is not related to a specific shell, but either to a misconfiguration of the /etc files (especially rc.S) or, more probable, missing /dev/tty?? You might want to check those messages. In my case, I had to add several special devices by hand, not added by buildroot (and I also replaced all the files in /etc with a single rc.S one, which resolved several other problems). The platform is an ARMv6 board. cheers, Christian Thiago A.
