We are trying to build a customized kernel from Fedora Core 1 (Linux kernel version 2.4.29). After building and mounting the root filesystem, it seems to be not proceeding further and at the same time there is no kernel panic message that is coming out as well. With additional kernel debugging, it looks like /sbin/init is getting passed as the init program to be execed. The permissions of /sbin/init in the root filesystem are proper and matches the permissions of the init executable in a running system.
The kernel that is being built out of this version is a mini-kernel to be used for booting a board. We had taken the pebble distribution configuration as a base for building the kernel (with the relevant support for serial and console terminals).
We faced the same problem with using both LILO and GRUB. The last few lines of the output before the boot-up process seems to go into an inactive state are as follows(At this time, the terminal still responds to keystrokes hinting that it has not gone into a complete limbo or paniced state)
---------------------------------------------- NET4: UNIX domain sockets 1.0/SMP for Linux NET4.0. hda:hda1 hda:hda1 VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem readonly) Freeing unused kerned memory: 76k freed
<No more messages but still responds to key strokes>
-----------------------------------------------
We are struck on this for a couple of days now and have been trying to debug this real hard. Any pointers or clues that you can give us to resolve this problem would be much appreciated...
Thanks in advance,
Govind
