Hello,
I'm porting Denx linux 2.4.4 to my company MPC8260 board. The board doesn't
have the real UART to be configured as ttyS0. It has a virtual UART (a
memory location where characters are read/written from/to. Another processor
will take care of UART translation.)
I haved modified uart.c to provide basic serial i/o functions using the
virtual uart. When running with NFS root filesystem, I got this:
---------------------------Message------------------------------------------
modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module char-major-4
INIT: version 2.78 booting

There is no shell prompt??????
Using telnet, I can look at ps:
---------------------------Message------------------------------------------

When running with ramdisk, I got this:
---------------------------Message------------------------------------------
bash# ls
bin dev etc lib linuxrc lost+found
bash# asdf
init: asdf: command not found
bash#
---------------------------Message------------------------------------------
Why "init:" is printed out in "init: asdf: command not found"?. Probably
some variables didn't get initialized properly?
Does anyone know where is the problem?
thanks in advance
james
