Hi Jean-Samuel,

Actually, I removed the console and null created by buildroot and create
them manually using make node. This time the system freezes at this =
point.

Hi,
Thank you very much for your answers.

But I have both console and null in /dev.

-rw-rw-rw- 1 mojtaba mojtaba    0 2007-12-26 15:50 console
-rw-rw-rw- 1 mojtaba mojtaba    0 2007-12-26 15:50 null

They have been created by buildroot. Do I need to create them manually?
Actually the size of both of them is 0 and both are empty files. Is that =
a
problem?

Thank you in advance and best regards,
Mojtaba

Hi Mojtaba,

I got a similar error on my ML-310 when I tried a new root filesystem.
 As far as I recall, I needed to make sure that two entries existed in
/dev, namely:

crw-------    1 root     root       5,   1 Jan  1 05:18 console
crw-rw----    1 root     root       1,   3 Dec 10  2007 null

I think that you are missing /dev/console and then init cannot run
since it has nowhere to put its standard output.

You can make those by mounting your CF card on your development host
and (as root) make the nodes:

# mknod -m 660 /dev/console c 5 1
# mknod -m 660 /dev/null c 1 3

In my case, I use the UartLite (ttyUL0) serial port driver, but I'm
pretty sure this is going to fix the problem you are observing.

Regards,

Jean-Samuel
