If I use the Montavista root filesystem, init asks me for a runlevel and then just sits there. I've searched the mailing lists for this, and I saw two reports, but no replies. So I decided to strip everything: I'm booting into a FS that uses devfs, has libc and ncurses, bash and busybox, using busybox as the init. I compiled busybox 0.49 myself. Here's where it gets very interesting: booting without a inittab file works, as busybox has a default. So I tried using a minimal 2 line inittab, and it wouldn't work. But if I used a one line inittab that would start up bash, it works. Once I'm on the shell, I can't read any text files but for that one line inittab. If I have a larger inittab and boot straight into bash, I can't cat it either. This sounds too much like libc problems. Can anybody help me? -- []'s Bruno Renato Barreyra bruno.r.barreyra@ufl.edu barreyra@ufl.edu ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
