Hey
Arnaud Patard looked a bit into this today; we both reproduce in QEMU.
It seems to be an issue with busybox or the toolchain; replacing
/bin/sh in the initrd with bash works fine. Starting from your initrd
and a bash binary for armel do:
mkdir tmp
cd tmp
gunzip -c < ../initrd.img-2.6.38-1-ixp4xx | cpio -i
mv bin/sh bin/sh-broken
cp ../bash bin/sh
find . | cpio -o -H newc | gzip -c >../initrd.img-2.6.38-1-ixp4xx-new
If I spawn a busybox shell with exec /bin/sh </dev/console
>/dev/console, I will get random results when running "exec run-init
/root /sbin/init", it even booted once.
I tried with busybox-static as well, but same issue.
busybox was uploaded multiple times recently, so it could be fixed with
latest busybox and toolchain. I'll check that out.
Cheers,
