Hi, Check if your U-boot enabled the udev, try diable the udev, then using mknod to create the /dev/console.
Regards dave 2007/4/2, Tom Strader <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
I checked /dev/ with U-boot and it shows the existence of /dev/console. From U-boot prompt: $ ls /dev crw------- 0 Mon Apr 02 17:52:27 2007 console crw-r--r-- 0 Mon Apr 02 17:52:27 2007 null crw-r--r-- 0 Mon Apr 02 17:52:27 2007 zero Also, I added a printk in the jffs2_add_fd_to_list() routine in fs/jffs2/nodelist.c to print out the dirent adds and it shows console being added as follows: ... add dirent "var", ino #14 add dirent "usr", ino #13 add dirent "tmp", ino #12 add dirent "sys", ino #11 add dirent "sbin", ino #10 add dirent "proc", ino #9 add dirent "mnt", ino #8 add dirent "linuxrc", ino #7 add dirent "lib", ino #6 add dirent "home", ino #5 add dirent "etc", ino #4 add dirent "dev", ino #3 add dirent "bin", ino #2 VFS: Mounted root (jffs2 filesystem). Freeing init memory: 76K add dirent "zero", ino #70 add dirent "null", ino #69 add dirent "console", ino #68 Warning: unable to open an initial console. add dirent "watchdog", ino #262 add dirent "udevstart", ino #261 add dirent "udevsend", ino #260 ... Any other ideas?
