Here is the terminal printout from the correct bootup on a previous build. <6>Freeing init memory: 584K Freeing init memory: 584K init started: BusyBox v0.60.5 (2006.06.15-11:12+0000) multi-call binary Bummer, could not run '/etc/init.d/rcS': No such file or directory ÿ Please press Enter to activate this console. It looks that it's printing out several ÿ first and then replaced them with "init started: BusyBox..." seems quite obscure, as the only difference between those two FPGA builds is they were built at different runs using exactly the same source files. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
