Thanks for the information, I will look into embedded debian packages.
By the way, I "made" inittab work after adding the following line into
busybox code init.c
static void parse_inittab(void)
{
....
while (config_read(parser, token, 4, 0, "#:",
PARSE_NORMAL & ~(PARSE_TRIM |
PARSE_COLLAPSE))) {
.....
if(strstr(token[3], "rcS")) //DBG
printf("INIT: %s\n", token[3]); //DBG
new_init_action(1 << action, token[3], tty);
i
....
}
...
}
I created my own tool-chain, the environment is (gcc version 4.1.2,
glibc-2.6.1, and busybox-1.12.1). Maybe I should look more
closely what causes the problem.
