Hi everybody, I am trying to install the crux linux distribution to use with colinux. I am at the stage were the system should be booting up and presenting the login prompt. The boot process goes upto the INIT section and encounters a problem. Please help me in getting the boot process to continue to the login prompt Thanks Ray mice: PS/2 mouse device common for all mice NET: Registered protocol family 2 IP: routing cache hash table of 512 buckets, 4Kbytes TCP established hash table entries: 4096 (order: 3, 32768 bytes) TCP bind hash table entries: 4096 (order: 2, 16384 bytes) TCP: Hash tables configured (established 4096 bind 4096) NET: Registered protocol family 1 NET: Registered protocol family 17 EXT2-fs warning: mounting unchecked fs, running e2fsck is recommended VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem).

I don't know that distro but it looks like init tries to start a console process on a serial port that isn't there. Look at /etc/inittab and if you find lines about c1 to c6 with an agetty entry, put a # in front of it. |

Watch that line, udev is not working!

This is typicaly a problem in distros with udev or other runtime created /dev/ directories. Mount your root filesystem from an other Live Linux and create some very importend devices: /dev/tty0, /dev/tty1, ... /dev/tty6, /dev/null, /dev/zero The device node you will find with an "ls -la /dev/tty?" from your live system. Then the init should run. Next step is to create also your used root partions, for example: /dev/hda1 or /dev/cobd0 (or /dev/cobd/0 in some cases) There is no problem, if any other process would later remount this with an udev. But you need this devices for your boot for non working udev. Hint: The latest snapshort of coLinux version 0.8.0 has a working udev (hotplug) support. |

Hi, I tried the easiest option and that hint did nicely the lastest snapshot 0.8.0 version with udev boots up fine without any issues. Thank you as awell for the detail of the process.
