did that, here are the results: Freeing unused kernel memory: 52k init Trying run_init_process with /sbin/minit Error code from execve: -1 Errno: 2 Trying run_init_process with /sbin/init Error code from execve: -1 Errno: 14 Trying run_init_process with /etc/init Error code from execve: -1 Errno: 14 Trying run_init_process with /bin/init Error code from execve: -1 Errno: 14 Trying run_init_process with /bin/sh Error code from execve: -1 Errno: 14 Kernel panic: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel. if i read the include files correctly (include/asm-generic/errno*.h), i read this as: #define ENOENT 2 /* No such file or directory */ #define EFAULT 14 /* Bad address */ note that the error for minit is different from all the busybox errors. the man page for execve() tells me this: ENOENT The file filename or a script or ELF interpreter does not exist, or a shared library needed for file or interpreter cannot be found. EFAULT filename points outside your accessible address space. so, i guess the next step is to compile minit statically and see what happens. rday ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list.
