Re: custom kernel boot problem: can't access tty

SOLUTION: to "can't access tty; job control turned off" Apologies for answering my own post, but this seems to be a problem many people have had. For some reason (there could be many) the boot kernel can't mount the root file system and hence cannot find all devices and tools to run the login.

custom kernel boot problem: can't access tty

Hi, I compiled a debian custom kernel 2.6.18 to boot a USB flash drive. The stock kernels work perfectly, but my custom kernel mounts the root fs and then gives the error message: /bin/sh Can't access tty; Job control stopped The booting process stops. The console , tty devices are all there,
