Hi,
I've got problems with booting an busybox-based VPS: init does
not seem to do anything (at least it does not run the boot
scripts) ?
I strace'd a little bit, and there are some strange things
going on:
* init tries to write to fd -1 ! (maybe it didn't get some
valid stdio passed on startup)
Perhaps it tried to open /dev/console and failed (open() returned -1).
* it tries to do some tty specific ioctl()'s on fd 0, which
doesn't seem to be an tty (at least it gets ENOTTY)
Again that should probably be /dev/console (in case no fds are open the
first successful open() _usually_ returns 0).
* when reading /etc/inittab, it gets fd 0, so it seems no
other fd's (ie. stdin, stdout, stderr) are open !
This (the absense of stdin/out/err) is probably perfectly valid -- since
init does not have a parent process, nobody would read/write those fds.
* when trying to open /dev/console, it gets permission denied.
Ah-ha, probably that is the root of the problem. What if you will create
an empty text file named /dev/console?
Any suggest what could be wrong here ?
