I tried the symlinking of /sbin/init to the runit binary as a LAST and DESPERATE measure, but obviously it did'nt work as my daemontools is not working properly for some reason. I tried out what Hleil liu had suggested. I could not get a mingetty running on my system using the normal system V init and daemontools. my /etc/inittab looks like: ----- 5:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty5 ----- So now my /service/getty/run looks like: ----- #!/bin/sh exec /sbin/mingetty tty5 ----- I restarted the system to be sure that everything gets initiated from the beginning and had started daemontools also from inittab. After i booted up, i looked up ps -aux and i get the following results: -----snip----- root 1972 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? Z 11:44 0:00 [mingetty ] root 1974 0.0 0.1 2748 868 pts/1 R 11:44 0:00 ps -aux -----snip----- There is no controlling tty for mingetty and also it is reported as a Zombie process. I left the system running for a few mins [maybe 10 mins] and my PID's shooted to 2600+. The zombie process was being respawned. I could'nt get much info to debug daemontools and please help me out here to get this running. I guess everything else should work fine once i get daemontools working.
