Subject: [Buildroot] no /dev/console; /dev/null when booting with initrd of type 'ext2'
Date: Tue, 16 Oct 2012 16:16:48 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <507D6C50.4060607@wanadoo.fr> (raw)

Hi,

When booting with an initrd of type "ext2", as it is the case when using 
a generated ISO image,
the kernel (a 3.2.21 in my case) does not automagically create the 
"/dev/null" and "dev/console" entries,
whereas it does when using a cpio.

Would the solution be to always have these inodes created in 
'device_table.txt' ?
(Works in my case, I do not plan to use the static table)

Or change the ISO generation for using cpio instead of ext2 ?

Thanks
Thierry
