Summary 0000153: Upgrade from 0.61 to 1.00 on powerpc
Description For a project I am working on it was necessary to upgrade to 1.00. I used the same .config file for 1.00 as starting point for configuring. The problem I ran into is that my system that worked flawlessly on 0.61 crashes on boot. It shows me a lot of errors while loading drivers (see additional info).
I found out that using telnetd forces you to use the SUID option. Has that something to do with it?

I also miss some documentation on how to use a login strategy on busybox. At this point it feels like a needle in the haystack to me.

What exactly do you want us to do with a bug report like this? Is this a bug report you expect us to be able to follow up on?

It looks like this boils down to "Bug submitter has no idea how to configure busybox 1.00 for his system". There's a reason the major version number changed. Off the top of my head:

You have modules refusing to load, although if this was a problem with insmod why did the first half-dozen modules load fine? You could have a module dependency issue, or you might need to run depmod or some such (and use modprobe instead of insmod). I don't know, I haven't seen your setup. (I don't even know if you upgraded modules at the same time you upgraded busybox.)

There's nothing wrong with cat; the file under /proc it's trying to look at isn't there. I don't know what the deal is with your /proc. Is it even mounted? Is whatever driver that was supposed to create this file one of the modules that refused to load?

"date" is telling you what's wrong with it. It doesn't like the command line arguments you're passing.

The next line is something bad happening in your shell script, but the printout doesn't give enough information to say what.

And so on, and so forth...

Problem exists between keyboard and chair. (If this had been posted to the mailing list instead of the bug system, we'd have been much more likely to be able to help...)
