Hi everyone,
I'm trying to use the filesystem obtained here below as an nfs root for
my board.
${MIRROR}/experimental/arm/embedded/stages/stage3-arm-uclibc-softfloat-20050811.tar.bz2
Originally, I ran into some trouble when I allowed the default init
routine to run, because it froze on 'starting local'. I eventually
discovered that was because my main serial device should be /dev/ttyAM0
instead of /dev/ttyS1 in /etc/inittab. I fixed that, and then found that
I couldn't login as root, even after adjusting /etc/password to
root::0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash
...
I wrote a very simple init script to mount things and run /bin/sh, but
that generates 'kernel panic - attempt to kill init!' when I exit. I'd
still like to use the default init scripts for now, so that inittab
respawns a login prompt of some kind, but for some reason none of the
password-changing methods I'm aware of have worked.
I've even tried to erase the root password entry in
/etc/{passwd,shadow}*, but that didn't work. I've tried changing the
password to nothing or 'password' using /bin/passwd, but that also
doesn't work!
This is completely puzzling for me at the moment.
ack! plz help!
Chris
