[BusyBox] Busybox starting problem

Thu Nov 7 03:35:02 UTC 2002

Hi all,

I use linux 2.4.18 (ELinos V2.1)  with busybox 0.60.2 on a PowerPC (XPC8250)
board. I have configurate my kernel to run with a Network File System
located on a distant linux server.On power on, Linux start normaly but
sometimes the busybox init seems to be stick in a loop. I use busybox 0.60.5
with the same result. Does someone already seen this problem and found a
solution?

Thanks you in advance

Dominique Letty
