Hi,
Iam trying to run linux 2.4.26 from mvista in xilinx XUPV2P board.
During booting I get this error message, Mounted devfs on /dev
..
Freeing unused kernel memory: 60k init
init started: BusyBox v1.1.2 (2006.04.24-13:20+0000) multi-call binary
Starting pid 11, console /dev/console: '/etc/init.d/rcS'
Bummer, could not run '/etc/init.d/rcS': No such file or directory
Bummer, could not run
ML300 powerpc linux 2.4.21-pre7 E.I.S. edition
(none) login:
..
But I could see in the generated root file system this file is there.
Even its not logging with anything.

My inittab file is
::sysinit:/etc/init.d/rcS
#::askfirst:-/bin/sh
::ctrlaltdel:/sbin/reboot
::shutdown:/sbin/swapoff -a
::shutdown:/bin/umount -a -r
::restart:/sbin/init
::respawn:/sbin/getty 9600 tts/0

Without init options specified in busybox configuration I got,
..
NET4: Unix domain sockets 1.0/SMP for Linux NET4.0.
EXT2-fs warning: mounting unchecked fs, running e2fsck is recommended
VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem).
mount_devfs_fs(): unable to mount devfs, err: -5
Freeing unused kernel memory: 60k init
Warning: unable to open an initial console.
Kernel panic: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel.

Any help is appreciated,
Prakash
