| |
Whenever I try to boot up my second computer with a self-compiled kernel, it locks up after displaying VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) read-only. The precompiled Slackware kernels work; I need PPP support (for a null-modem cable), though, this is why I have to use a self-compiled.
After adding some printk()s to init/main.c, I found out that the execve() call that should start up /sbin/init returns ENOENT. But I *know* (and I checked it again and again) that /sbin/init exists. As I said, it is started correctly when I use a precompiled kernel. I tried it with kernel 2.0.23 and 2.0.24.
Has anybody got an idea what could be the problem?
TIA, Christian
