Then It could be that the hang is inside the init. you might have to look at the ramdisk inside the init. - Preetam On Thu, Feb 16, 2012 at 12:50 AM, jagan <402ja...@gmail.com> wrote: > Yes, I have seen as below > > Waiting 2sec before mounting root device... > EXT3-fs: barriers not enabled > kj

As per my knowledge.. init=/system/bin/sh , task performed by init.rc, running init.rc is a job of init. But my case init itself is not running by kernel. Regards, Jagan. On Wed, Feb 15, 2012 at 5:37 PM, Deepak Singal wrote: > init=/system/bin/sh > > On Wed, Feb 15, 2012 at 8:05 PM, jagan <402j

Even I took the config file from emulator build, it' having android changes [android drivers+goldfish changes]. But my concern is, If I took the kernel working with any ARM target, tested with normal rootfilesystem[busybox]. the same kernel[w/o any android changes], will it launch the android root

The root file system can be taken from emulator. system.img and other images constitute the root file system. Any kernel will have the feature to launch the init process, for instance the configuration of a kernel that can launch an init process can also be taken from emulator. pull /proc/config

As per as my knowledge, irrespective of android rootfs or normal-rootfs Linux kernel is capble launch init., until and unless to explicitly specified the path. means linux kernel doesn't require any android changes for just to lanch console. Regards, Jagan. On Wed, Feb 15, 2012 at 12:54 PM, jagan
