Hi, I am building a minimal rootfs that will loads as a large ramdisk when booting some nodes on a clustered system. I'm basically pulling pieces by hand from a working PowerPC potato system as each node is PowerPC-based. I only have the need to allow serial login and networking (rshd etc) so I've stripped a lot of the sysvinit scripts out. It has /etc/init.d/rc and rcS. It then has checkroot.sh, checkfs.sh, and bootmisc.sh running in the single user runlevel. In runlevel 2, I just run the network scripts.
The problem is that applications making use getpwnam() and friends can't seem to parse my /etc/passwd (even though it is good, ripped out my example system). When bootmisc.sh attempts to chmod the tty* devices to root.tty, it complains about an unknown user. Further, /bin/login complains that any user I enter is invalid and unknown. I know this must be something really trivial that I'm missing. I've attached a dump of my errors below. Thanks for any help or suggestions. --snip-- RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block 0 VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem).
