That is very odd, I don't know why ash would work and sash does not. Very strange indeed. > I'm not sure what the message "can't access tty; job control turned off" > means -- I'll have to get the source for ash and debug it. This sounds like you do not have proper /dev/* populated.. i.e. /dev/console, /dev/tty, /dev/pts, etc. For initial system bringup you can ignore that warning. (However, keep in mind that ctrl-C, ctrl-Z, etc job control will not work..) This might also partially be a symptom of ash starting as process 1, process 1 contains special rules in the kernel as it is the init process. --Mark ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list.
