Hi,
I am following a How-to on the LDP web site, "how to build a minimal
linux system from source code". I choose this one over Linux From
Scratch, LFS, because I just want to know the basic flow and have no
intention to build a full functional linux system.
But it seems the how-to is old and it does not tell the reader what
are the versions of all the pieces he mentioned in the book.
I tried and failed and fixed and tried. Now I think I already went a
long way, but I am now stuck in init.
The book only says copy the init scripts from the host, as my host is
Fedora, I downloaded the bootscript RPM and installed it. But in
booting the machine and select the new system, init fails and I am
always led to maintaince shell.
Yes, I come to a shell, it is sort of the goal is achieved, but I do
not see log-in, so I really want to make it.
My gut feeling is the boot scripts I use are too complex for the job
I am trying to do. So any suggestion how I can simplify the scipt or
where I can find one is highly appreciated.
From the error message I know that init fails in executing rc.sysinit
and here is the inittab file,
#
# inittab This file describes how the INIT process should set up
# the system in a certain run-level.

# Author: Miquel van Smoorenburg, <miquels@drinkel.nl.mugnet.org>
# Modified for RHS Linux by Marc Ewing and Donnie Barnes
#
# Default runlevel. The runlevels used by RHS are:
# 0 - halt (Do NOT set initdefault to this)
# 1 - Single user mode
# 2 - Multiuser, without NFS (The same as 3, if you do not have
networking)
# 3 - Full multiuser mode
# 4 - unused
# 5 - X11
# 6 - reboot (Do NOT set initdefault to this)
