Hi, I have managed to find a work around for this problem. If something reads from the /dev/initctl inside the chroot while it is stalled then the call to init completes, and the process can continue.
I have attached a hex dump of the output of /dev/initctl when this has done in case it helps. Not that only the 75 is the last thing printed, the rest is just padding inserted by hexcat. James -- James Westby [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://jameswestby.net/
