Package: sysvinit Version: 2.85-9 Severity: normal
This is a headless sparc64 system. After init is executed, there is nothing in the console; the last message is about mounting the root filesystem readonly. It seems that the system completely hangs. Kernel command line: root=/dev/sda1 ro -p console=ttyS0 It may be relevant that I see every kernel message twice on the console (but once in dmesg) after and including the following message: Console: ttyS0 (SU) The workaround is to set #define INITDEBUG 1 in init.h , and recompile. I do not claim that I understand why this solution works, but it does. I am interested in figuring out what the actual problem is, and find a solution to it. I need hypotheses to test and questions asked well (or the answer, if you have it:). -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: sparc Kernel: Linux szoketto 2.6.1-rc2.mdioctl.ext3 #6 SMP Fri Jan 9 15:18:49 UTC 2004 sparc64 Locale: LANG=hu_HU, LC_CTYPE=hu_HU Versions of packages sysvinit depends on: ii initscripts 2.85-7 Standard scripts needed for bootin ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-10 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii sysv-rc 2.85-7 Standard boot mechanism using syml -- GNU GPL: csak tiszta forrásból
