I compiled my own Busybox. When i boot OMAP5912 OSK using kernel 2.6.14.2 i get the following error

......................
Freeing init memory:108K
request_module: runaway loop modprobe binfmt-464c

and then OSK hangs.

Please help.

Thanks in advance

Hello Vineet, a thought...

Make sure you have a getty turned on at the serial console. An easy thing to miss when first trying a new rootfs... well for me anyway.

e.g., in /etc/inittab:

ttyS0::respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyS0 115200 vt100

First time I built a rootfs with buildroot (cousin project to busybox at uclibc.org), I forgot this, and it looked like the system was hanging in init, but really everything was fine except the system wasn't listening to the serial console for logins. In buildroot, the line above exists in the default inittab, but is commented out.

Cheers,

Mark.
