Hi Rafael,

thanks again for your nice HOWTO. I finally aquired a Linux-compatible
CF-reader yesterday and installed opie 0.82 along with Michaels kernel,
closely following the instructions on your website. However, some things
still seem to be missing. The first problem I encountered was the error
message:

"Warning: unable to open an initial console."

Ok, there really was no /dev/console, so I mknoded one with my normal PC.
The second boot attempt went further, Opie tries to start up and after all
I see:

"qt_init() - starting in daemon mode"

After that, nothing happens for quite a long time, I only have a blinking
cursor. After a break, I get messages like

INIT: Id "s" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes
INIT: Id "1" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes
INIT: no more processes in this runlevel

but I get no login prompt whatsoever. What am I missing?

Regards,
Jost Menke
