Hi,
I'm doing a PXE boot with very new notebook model (Dell D620) and so I needed the most up to date kernel possible. I started with the udpc-config-2.6.16 and used make menuconfig to take out the drivers I won't need in networking and SCSI, etc.
I'm wondering if I removed an option needed for devfs or whatever it is that would populate /dev in busybox environment.
Initially I had the error "unable to open an initial console". I added a dev/console with mknod dev/console c 5 1 from the cpio archive and make a new init with genromfs.
That got me a little farther, to:
init started: Busybox v1.1.1 .... init: Bummer, can't write to log on /dev/vc/5
and the system can't arrive at a udpcast menu nor shell.
It is looking to me like I need something in my kernel options that should auto populate /dev.
Can anyone suggest what I'm missing?
