Dear friends, I have a following problem: I'm trying to boot linux kernel on a PowerPC405 inside a Virtex4 FX12 sitting on an Avnet/Memec FX12 Mini Module plugged into its mother board. I was able to go as far as booting the kernel, mounting a nfs root, as well as an ext2 one sitting on a sysace CF. The problem is that the kernel stops outputting the following line:
Kernel panic - not syncing: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel. Now, I know the init is being found, both in ext2 and nfs setup, has the right rights, and all. I tried supplying a simple printf C program as init, even an assembly one, with one stupid syscall to write out a line, with the very same effect. I edited the init/main.c file around the run_init_process(), and modified it to analyse the kernel_execve return value. The effects are: Freeing unused kernel memory: 104k init Failed to execute /sbin/init: -2 <4>: No such file or directory. Failed to execute /etc/init: -14 <4>: Bad address. Failed to execute /bin/init: -14 <4>: Bad address. Failed to execute /bin/sh: -14 <4>: Bad address. Kernel panic - not syncing: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel. and after I deleted /sbin/init the effects were: Failed to execute /sbin/init: -2 <4>: No such file or directory. Failed to execute /etc/init: -2 <4>: No such file or directory. Failed to execute /bin/init: -14 <4>: Bad address. Failed to execute /bin/sh: -14 <4>: Bad address. The interesting thing is, that in both cases /bin/init does not exist, and /etc/init does. Now am I searching already too low or yet too high? I put my kernel configs, dmesgs and xparameters.h here: http://keymaster.el-kfa.net/~loko/linux-ppc/ My kernel is pulled from git://git.xilinx.com/linux-2.6-xlnx.git I'm using ARCH=ppc in the makefile and building both the kernel and the apps (including the buildroot on the nfs and sysace) using the same crosstool setup, gcc-3.4.5-glibc-2.3.6. Many thanks in advance for your help. -- Pawel Kusmierski loko-r a.t el-kfa.net
