Linux Init Hangs

Hi,

 

my kernel hangs by initializing the system. My target is mpc7457-based. I use ELDK 3.1.1 and mount my root-fs over nfs.

 

Following is screen-shot:    

....

NET: Registered protocol family 1

NET: Registered protocol family 17

egiga0: link down

IP-Config: Complete:

      device=egiga0, addr=10.18.6.129, mask=255.255.0.0, gw=255.255.255.255,

     host=gomsis, domain=, nis-domain=(none),

     bootserver=10.18.6.232, rootserver=10.18.6.232, rootpath= Looking up port of RPC 100003/2 on 10.18.6.232

egiga0: link up<5>, full duplex<5>, speed 100 Mbps<5> Looking up port of RPC 100005/1 on 10.18.6.232

VFS: Mounted root (nfs filesystem).

Mounted devfs on /dev

Freeing unused kernel memory: 112k init

 

Hangs here !

 

 

I use ethereal to look at  the  network  traffic. Find out what the last succesful lookup calls: 

 

Network File System, LOOKUP Call DH:0x500ec3bb/ld-2.3.1.so Network File System, LOOKUP Call DH:0x500ec3bb/ld.so.1 Network File System, LOOKUP Call DH:0x2c97820b/lib Network File System, LOOKUP Call DH:0x500ec3bb/init Network File System, LOOKUP Call DH:0x2c97820b/sbin Network File System, LOOKUP Call DH:0x2c97820b/dev

5853  14.129760   10.18.6.135 10.18.6.232 MOUNT V1 MNT Call /opt/eldk_7457/ppc_74xx

 

After printing the message "Freeing unused kernel memory: 112k init", it hangs Any ideas?

 

Thanks in advance

 

Mustafa

ELDK 3.1.1 is vry old - and it means that you must be using a 2.4
Linux kernel, whichis also very old.

Please consider updating to current versions.

You provide very little information, so we can only speculate.

Are you sure that /dev/console exists in your target root file
system, and did you run the ELDK_MAKEDEV script when installing the
ELDK?

Also, did you pass the appropriate console=... boot argument to the
Linux kernel?

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
