Frequently Asked Questions
|
||||
==========================
|
||||
|
||||
The boot hangs after 'Starting network...'
|
||||
------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
If the boot process seems to hand after the following messages
|
||||
(messages not necessarily exactly similar, depending on the list of
|
||||
packages selected):
|
||||
|
||||
------------------------
|
||||
Freeing init memory: 3972K
|
||||
Initializing random number generator... done.
|
||||
Starting network...
|
||||
Starting dropbear sshd: generating rsa key... generating dsa key... OK
|
||||
------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
then it means that your system is running, but didn't start a shell on
|
||||
the serial console. In order to have the system start a shell on your
|
||||
serial console, you have to go in the Buildroot configuration, +System
|
||||
configuration+, and modify +Port to run a getty (login prompt) on+ and
|
||||
+Baudrate to use+ as appropriate. This will automatically tune the
|
||||
+/etc/inittab+ file of the generated system so that a shell starts on
|
||||
the correct serial port.
|
||||
|
||||
module-init-tools fails to build with 'cannot find -lc'
|
||||
-------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
If the build of +module-init-tools+ for the host fails with:
|
||||
|
||||
------------------------
|
||||
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lc
|
||||
------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
then probably you are running a Fedora (or similar) distribution, and
|
||||
you should install the +glibc-static+ package. This is because the
|
||||
+module-init-tools+ build process wants to link statically against the
|
||||
C library.
