[BusyBox] Help with init : Reposting

[Sharad Gupta]

I had originally posted the following posting on this list couple of 
weeks before. Can someone please point me to where the problem might lie 
in ?

Also, when I  try to chroot into the partition from the flash (after 
booting into ramdisk containing static version of busybox), and try to 
run ls .. all I see is directory listings as bunch of question marks like:
bash$ ls
?? 	?????	?????	

Does this point to any configuration problems on my part ?

Thanks
Sharad.

I am using busybox on my custom board. I used busybox snapshot from
buildroot, busybox 1.0 pre 10.

I compiled busybox using powerpc-linux-uclibc-gcc and am using shared
libraries. My problem is when kernel finishes mounting root filesystem
and tries to run init, I get the following error and the system hangs:

init: symbol '__stdin': can't resolve symbol

Since, I only have a serial port to talk to, I comment out all tty's in
the inittab file & instead have the following line:
ttyS0::respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyS0 115200 vt100

Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks
Sharad.
