[Clfs-support] CLFS stops booting after mounting root

[Andreas Hofer]

Good morning folks,

my shiny new CLFS disk (Version SVN-20071203-x86) doesn't start up as 
expected. The kernel's last words are:

VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly.
Freeing unused kernel memory: 140k freed

... and then: silence, no error message, no nothing.

My target is a Vortex86SX (486 instruction set without FPU) and my host 
is a Core2Duo notebook. The funny thing is that I already managed to 
build the embedded version of CLFS (VersionSVN-0.0.1-20070715-x86) and 
run it successfully on the target.

I then tried to boot the "normal" CLFS build with the kernel from the 
embedded version, but same result. Also booting with "init=/bin/sh" 
doesn't give me a shell.

Last reason I could think of is that the binaries use floating point 
instructions but then I would expect some sort of error message.

Anybody can help? I'm stuck.

Andreas
