Hi, 

I'm trying to use initramfs on an ML403 system but don't understand why
I can't see any console output after the line: 

[    1.034361] Freeing unused kernel memory: 1172k init  

 

my filesystem is built from the following: 

dir /dev 755 0 0 
nod /dev/console 644 0 0 c 5 1 
dir /proc 755 0 0 
dir /sys 755 0 0 
file /init usr/busybox 755 0 0 

 

Busybox was built statically, with init functionality so I think I can
just rename it to init and it should run the init process.   It seems to
find /dev/console because if I delete that node I get an error message
that it can't find /dev/console.   Also I think it is finding the
busybox init because I don't get a kernel panic like I do when I don't
include it.

Any help would be great. 

Thanks,
Joe
