           Summary: Busybox compiled from buildroot hangs on pass from
                    intiramfs to init
           Product: buildroot
           Version: 2013.11
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P5
         Component: Other
        AssignedTo: unassigned at buildroot.uclibc.org
        ReportedBy: anthonysepa at yahoo.ca
                CC: buildroot at uclibc.org
   Estimated Hours: 0.0


I use the same binary in a initramfs that processes an init script. At the time
that it passes off the processing to the busybox on my rootfs as /sbin/init it
hangs. If I replace the binaries with an "out of tree" compiled version it
works fine.

If I replace the installed binary with the binary in the
output/build/busybox-1.21.1 it works fine also. In trying to track down the
problem I noticed that the installed binary is different from the built binary
and was modified 3 minutes later in the build process.

I am cross compiling on a Ubuntu 64 bit machine for an arm gaming device.

All binaries are stripped later in the build process, which explains the
difference between the binary in output/build/busybox... and the one in
output/target.

However, stripping should not affect runtime behavior.

Have you found a solution to this problem?
Is this an unmodified busybox version?

A workaround is to specify the busybox binary in option BR2_STRIP_EXCLUDE_FILES
but it is not a real solution of course.

Many people are using busybox inside an initramfs without problems. Therefore,
I am closing this bug. If you still experience this problem, please reopen and
provide more details about this problem, ideally with a reproducible
configuration. Thanks.
