Hello!

I have a problem as shown below:

VFS: Mounted root (jffs2 filesystem) on device 31:11.
Freeing init memory: 144K
init started: BusyBox v1.13.2 (2010-06-21 12:46:04 IST)
Bad inittab entry at line 5

process '/sbin/getty 38400 tty1' (pid 1042) exited. Scheduling for restart.

I use DVSDK_3_10 on my  DM36X EVM board, and the rootfs is extract from arago-demo-image-dm365-evm.tar.gz . All the software resource are download from TI website , it should not be anything wrong.

    I have fixed my similar issue with my RAM files system. I noticed that when booting the filesystem from NFS, I did not have the "BusyBox" line during boot. Basically the initramfs is trying to initialize with busybox. To get around this I added "rdinit=/sbin/init" to my bootargs. Now the boot process looks exactly like boot process from NFS and everything boots normally.

    Now for a FFS, I'm not sure if there is another bootarg you need or if you can just do "init=/sbin/init" in your bootargs. I found rdinit in the kernel documentation. I would check there for FFS if "init=/sbin/init" does not work.

    Thanks for your answer

    Appear above problems because i add a bootarg "init=/linuxrc" before when i use my own file system,  they disappeared after remove the bootarg.
