Subject: [9fans] Init hangs
Date: Mon, 22 Sep 2008 11:35:41 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <loom.20080922T111157-634@post.gmane.org> (raw)
Hi 9fans!
I downloaded the ISO image dated 18 Sep 2008. The live CD worked beautifully,
so I decided to install under VMWare Workstation 6. Well done to the guys who
did the new(ish?) installer, IMHO it's a big improvement over the old one.
Anyway, after installing and rebooting, the kernel gets as far as running
init, which prints out
init: starting /bin/rc
and then hangs. I've taken a look at /sys/src/cmd/init.c and found that
this line gets printed from the following code near the bottom of main:
for(;;){
print("\ninit: starting /bin/rc\n");
fexec(rcexec);
manual = 1;
cmd = 0;
sleep(1000);
}
What could have gone wrong? If exec had failed, an error message would have
been printed. The only thing I can think of is that perhaps /bin/rc is an
invalid image.
Is there a core dump file I can examine to find out what's going wrong? I'm
a noob, so please, put away the lighter and help me out :)
TIA,
Ralph
