Preetham,
I did the following and it worked for me (although maybe someone else
can give you a better/alternative solution). This solution is based on
the howto at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=152274
1. Create a file autologin.c and add the following line of code to
it:
int main() { execlp( "login", "login", "-f", "root", 0);
}
2. Compile the autologin.c file. This can be done either on the
host system with cross-compile or the target system natively. For the
target system do:
gcc autologin.c -o autologin
3. Copy the autologin executable to /usr/local/sbin
4. Open /etc/inittab on the target file system and change the line
"con:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty console" to "con:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty
-n -l /usr/local/sbin/autologin console"
5. Change directory on the target file system to /root and create a
.bash_profile file with the following line:
startx &
I hope this helps. Let me know if it does and I'll add this information
to the DaVinci Wiki.
Sincerely,
