Thu May 4 17:02:43 UTC 2006

ok, the default config worked fine, so i guess it's my config...i will
put below
i'm using gcc 4.1
my config will not work with either of the 4 shells
running tty gave me "/dev/pts/1"
i just realized i'm talking to the rob landley that wrote "How to use
initramfs"
thank you for that article sir, very useful

Odd.  Which compiler version?

They work fine for me here...

Try this:

tar xjvf busybox-1.1.2.tar.bz2
cd busybox-1.1.2
make defconfig
make
./busybox lash -c "echo hello"

If that works, try running lash interactively, ala "./busybox lash"

You tried all four shells?  (I'm suggesting lash because it's smallest
and 
simplest...)

Buildroot uses uClibc, yes.

Run "tty" (or ./busybox tty), it'll tell you what device your console is

currently attached to.
