Hello, Iam new to the list but a long time linux user. At least as far
as dasj top systems are concerned. But, most of my professional time has
been spent in real-time embedded systems.
Now, my question. I am trying to get Linux up on an M-Systems 8MB
DiskOnChip using their eval board. Thanks to their Linux how-to and
driver I can get it to actually boot. My problem is the root file
system.
I build what I think is a complete one using the boot/root disk how-to
and the M-sys doc. I then boot from the DOC and lo and behold it boots
right up to logon. I then login as root, howvever all that happens is
the system hesitates for about 10 seconds and then redisplays the login
prompt. I am not running PAM and the system it was built from does not
have a nsswitch.conf file so I believe I am ok there. I just can't log
in.
I have searched for docs that explain exactly what is done and the
calling sequence is when logging in and I have come up empty.
I have posted this to newsgroups and got exactly zip back. ANy help out
there??
The next step is to boot it in our design which is diskless and
presently runs QNX.
