Hello, I'm trying to boot a ubuntu 8.10 from quemu. Everything seem's o.k. the drive /dev/sda6 was recognized and mounted on /root but boot is interupted because of "to many symlinks"
Busybox v1.10.2 (Ubuntu 1.1.10.2-1ubuntu7) multi-call binary Now when I'm looking at /root ls -ali /root looks like: 24424 lrwxrwxrwx 1 0 0 17 UStudio8.10 -> Ustudio8.10 24391 lrwxrwxrwx 1 0 0 4 sbin -> sbin ... ls .ali / 460 437 -rwxr-xr.x 1 0 0 4256 init (no symlinks) The entry names seem to be correct (for example ustudio8.10) but every entry is linked to itself. I tryed a umount/mount. The result is the same. and ls /proc/sbin (ls:sbin: too many levels of symbolic links) But what could be the reason for this mount behavior? regards Patrick Ogay Switzerland P.S. I often copy linuxes to memory-sticks and usbdrives, und make the usb-bootable via qemu. like sudo qemu -hda /dev/sdb -m 254 -kernel ./vmlinuz -initrd ./initrd.img -append "rw root=/dev/sda6" Because I make a lot of installations, I looked a bit closer to the busybox, which is a very nice tool. But I didn't find much information on startup problems and correcting things via buzybox. _______________________________________________ busybox mailing list [email protected] http://lists.busybox.net/mailman/listinfo/busybox
