Buildroot has a "build statically" option. I had that problem once, I solved it by booting a local filesystem that I knew worked, then I chrooted into the filesystem I was debugging and ran init manually. Turns out it was an "Illegal instruction" exception because I used a compiler with the wrong abi.... So basically, if you can, boot the system by whatever other means, then use the chroot command on your manually mounted NFS. Hope that helps, -Chris _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
