I'm getting the infamous "Can't access tty; job control turned off" message when I try to invoke the ash shell during my initial bootup.
My kernel is 2.6.21.1 and I'm using busybox 1.5.0. I understand that ash requires a controlling tty rather than the console. Though, I don't understand all the reasons. If I don't define a console however, I get a kernel panic from initramfs. Could someone please give me some pointers on how tty and console should be configured? I'm connected via my VGA port (not a serial port). Here is the contents of my initramfs makefile: dir /dev 755 0 0 nod /dev/tty0 666 0 5 c 4 0 nod /dev/tty1 666 0 5 c 4 1 nod /dev/tty2 666 0 5 c 4 2 nod /dev/tty3 666 0 5 c 4 3 nod /dev/tty4 666 0 5 c 4 4 nod /dev/tty5 666 0 5 c 4 5 nod /dev/tty6 666 0 5 c 4 6 nod /dev/tty7 666 0 5 c 4 7 nod /dev/tty8 666 0 5 c 4 8 nod /dev/ttyS0 666 0 5 c 5 0 nod /dev/console 644 0 0 c 5 1 nod /dev/null 666 0 0 c 1 3 nod /dev/hda 660 0 6 b 3 0 nod /dev/hda1 660 0 0 b 3 1 nod /dev/hdb 660 0 6 b 3 0 nod /dev/hdb1 660 0 0 b 3 1 nod /dev/hdf 660 0 6 b 3 0 nod /dev/hdf1 660 0 0 b 3 1 dir /bin 755 1000 1000 file /bin/busybox /home/dallas/initramfs/busybox 755 0 0 slink /bin/ash busybox 777 0 0 slink /bin/mkdir busybox 777 0 0 slink /bin/mount busybox 777 0 0 slink /bin/cat busybox 777 0 0 slink /bin/switch_root busybox 777 0 0 dir /root 700 0 0 dir /proc 755 0 0 dir /sys 755 0 0 dir /var 755 0 0 dir /var/lock 755 0 0 dir /tmp 755 0 0 dir /mnt 755 0 0 dir /mnt/realroot 755 0 0 dir /etc 755 0 0 file /etc/fstab /home/dallas/initramfs/fstab 755 0 0 file /init /home/dallas/initramfs/init.ash 755 0 0 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
