I have a custom init executable (actually to save boot time my main GUI executable serves as init) which later spawns the scripts, unfortunately that doesn't have a Free license. > Why don't you hack some > > echo "hello" > /dev/ttyxyz0 > It reaches not even line #2, line #1 is #!/bin/bash Just in case I should explain ttyxyz0 was just a placeholder for whatever your serial console device is. In my case, ttymxc0 for imx31 SoC. If that was obvious then I guess init is choking somewhere, possibly it lacks some pieces in /dev? Anyway you can just hack up a script as your init, something along these lines: #!/bin/bash # # PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin mount -n -t proc /proc /proc mount -n -t sysfs /sys /sys mount -n -t devpts devpts /dev/pts rsyslogd & echo "fsck on ro rootfs" time fsck -y /dev/mmcblk0p1 if [ $? -gt 2 ] ; then echo "Attempting reboot on fsck error" reboot fi echo "remounting rootfs rw" mount -n -o remount,rw / echo "mounting other filesystems" mount -a echo "mount done" ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1 & hostname xyz # kill temp database rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__* /bin/bash echo "rc.sysinit done" while [ 1 ] ; do sleep 5s ; done (It's a good idea to start the rootfs from the kernel with "ro" so you can fsck it before anything from the current boot session has its hooks into it). There's a huge value in Fedora basis for arm rootfs without running stock init. Even without /sbin/init as pid 1, all of the /etc/init.d/blah start / stop / restart stuff works fine. You just need to start them in your startup script explicitly (and with ... & usually since you don't want to delay boot flow while sshd starts for example). I guess you already experienced how fast it is coming to /bin/bash prompt if that is init, there's no reason it should be much slower than that. -Andy _______________________________________________ arm mailing list arm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/arm
