[ELDK] Problems in kernel init while using busybox on ELDK 4.2

[Diptopal Basu]

Hi Wolfgang ,

     Sorry for the confusion .

I linked busybox statically because I use "mklibs to generate dynamic shared
libs in /lib...and I wanted to remove mklibs from "possible cause of error".

   The kernel works fine if compiled with ELDK 4.1 . I am attaching a
snapshot of the kernel panic here . I am suspecting that its a busybox
problem because the init is handled by busybox  and that's where the kernel
is crashing .

I will be providing you with more details .

Regards
Diptopal
