Comments/Problems:
The system appears to have a problem with busybox during the install stage that
causes the kernel to panic.
I was able to install the system by avoiding the buysbox call and manually
running the commands from init by hand.
[NOTE: this is the same image that successfully installed on my C200].
Here are the steps I did to get Etch installed:
1. Added BOOT_DEBUG=3 to the kernel command line.
2. exit from the just "booted shell"
3. At the "before init shell"
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/sbin
/sbin/debian-installer-startup
/sbin/debian-installer
4. Run through the normal installer.
5. After the reboot, /etc/inittab was wrong.
so boot with init=/bin/sh
mount -o remount,rw /
change /dev/initrd/dev/console -> /dev/console in /etc/inittab.
mount -o remount,ro /
reboot
6. run through the normal post-reboot (base-config) installation.
7. After the reboot, /etc/inittab was wrong.
so boot with init=/bin/sh
mount -o remount,rw /
vi /etc/inittab
change: #T0:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyS0 9600 vt100
to: T0:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyB0 9600 vt100
mount -o remount,ro /
reboot
Thanks,
