Ken, I'm still back on 6.1, which ain't broke, as far as my usage. When I built it I did deviate from the book as far as putting a few essential devices in the root's /dev mount point, so if something wierd happened I could hopefully get up. Nothing ever has, udev's been fine, but I just felt better knowing it's there. I remember wondering if that mightn't be a good failsafe for the book.

It doesn't start a shell. The last messages are: INIT: version 2.86 booting /etc/rc.d/init.d/rc: line:97: /dev/null: No such device or address INIT: Entering runlevel: 3 /etc/rc.d/init.d/rc: line:97: /dev/null: No such device or address INIT: ld "2" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes INIT: ld "1" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes INIT: ld "3" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes INIT: ld "4" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes INIT: ld "5" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes INIT: ld "6" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes INIT: no more processes left in this runlevel There was the same problem on this mailinglist in 2002, but it wasnt solved. The problem seems to be, that there are no ttys (ld 1-6 are the ttys), but I don't know, how to fix this. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I guess it is likely that /dev doesn't exist (otherwise /dev/null could have been created as a regular file), so you might need to check everything to do with udev in the book. Alternatively, people have seen that with invalid instructions in the code (e.g. compiled on a i686 and used on i586 or earlier, or compiled on an early via C3 processor with older compilers that thought it was a pukka i686 and used an instruction it doesn't have). ?en -- das eine Mal als Trag?die, das andere Mal als Farce ------------------------------ Message: 3 Date: Wed, 24 Oct 2007 21:24:33 +0200 From: Juergen Beisert <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: No ttys, no login shell To: [email protected] Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" On Wednesday 24 October 2007 12:41, Marius Meinert wrote: > Hi, > after building my first LFS system as described in the book I have a > problem with the boot process.
