Subject: Problem about linuxargs: "init=/linuxrc"



Hi all,

I've installed Familiar 0.8.0 OPIE on my iPAQ 3950, and it works
just fine. I found the default "linuxargs" is set to:
"root=/dev/mtdblock1 init=/linuxrc noinitrd console=none",
yet "/linuxrc" does not exist by default.

Then I created a "/linuxrc", which is a symbolic link to "/sbin/init",
with the same "linuxargs". Ths system booted successfully, too.

Again, I tried to change "linuxargs" to:
"root=/dev/mtdblock1 init=/sbin/init noinitrd console=ttyS0"
and checked the output message. The system booted successfully, too.

But when I created a "/linuxrc" with some simple commands like:

#!/bin/sh
/bin/echo "##############################################"
/bin/echo "##############################################"
/bin/echo "##############################################"

And set "linuxargs" to:
"root=/dev/mtdblock1 init=/linuxrc noinitrd console=ttyS0",
The /linuxrc was excuted without problems, but system panicked
with the following error messages:

Am I missing some boot parameters or something?
Thanks in advance!
