I was unable to fix this bug till now. :-/ |
29 |
But I found out at which place the system hangs. |
30 |
It is definately /sbin/init that does not work. |
31 |
I modified /usr/src/linux/init/main.c a bit to output more info what is going |
32 |
on at the moment. |
33 |
And I found out that the last call in mail.c that succeeds is |
34 |
execve(/sbin/init....). |
35 |
This function does not return on sucess, so I think /sbin/init can be executed |
36 |
but hangs then. |
37 |
So I will focus on init now. |
