dear list, I am experiencing great problems booting a system from initramfs. I am using a statically-built busybox binary as the initramfs system tool. The system itself, residing in a partition on the hard drive, is built from scratch using buildroot, and has busybox, again.
After creating the initramfs archive, and linking it to the kernel, i would boot it inside qemu, and everything goes fine. I can mount all pseudo-filesystems, as required by mdev, and finally mount the 'real' root filesystem on a directory, local to the initramfs filesystem, namely /root. Problems arise when i try to finish the bool process, executing the /root/sbin/init program. Doing # exec switch_root /root /sbin/init does manage to run the init program, which spawns the login prompt, BUT i can never log in because: Welcome to the Erik's uClibc development environment. uclibc login: root login: This applet requires root privileges! I am pretty desparate on this problem ,please help. vasilis. _________________________________________________________________ Connect to the next generation of MSN Messenger http://imagine-msn.com/messenger/launch80/default.aspx?locale=en-us&source=wlmailtagline _______________________________________________ busybox mailing list [email protected] http://busybox.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/busybox
