Hi, guys. I am trying to create an initrd from scratch, to use as a
rescue system. It would be a bit big (~60 megs), having all what I'll
need on ramdisk.

If I try to use "cat /dev/tty" it shows me the same message. But if I
try /dev/tty1 it works (ie.: /bin/bash hangs - doesn't trap Ctrl-C -
and doesn't show the message).
Does anyone know what is missing in my tiny initrd?

Maybe I'm barking up the wrong tree (and stating the obvious), but did you
check that you actually have a /dev/tty node? It should be character device
major 5 minor 0.
Also, did you apply all the bash patches successfully. It sounds a bit like
(my memory is rusty) a problem that you get with new glibc (>= 2.3.4
certainly) and older (i.e. 2.4.x) kernel. The avoid_WCONTINUED patch works
around that if I recall correctly.
