I am facing a problem while booting kernel while debugging through
serial console...
i have only one serial port(COM1) and i enabled console redirection
while building kgdb image.
but while booting it gives the following error:
"Warning: unable to open an initial console.
Kernel panic: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel."
I went thru all mail-archives but cud'nt get any info.
the panic is occuring at following code in
init/main.c
if (open("/dev/console", O_RDWR, 0) < 0)
printk("Warning: unable to open an initial console.\n");
what does /dev/console refer to here in the program?
whall i need to modify /etc/inittab ?
any suggestions?
thanks and regards
syed sk
