init(8) can't successfully spawn a shell and you're stuck at a prompt "Enter pathname of shell or RETURN for sh: " > Can you show me the exact steps you have done? Well, I had a system running with an earlier version of the diff, then I updated the source to the newer diff, built and installed a kernel, rebooted, and boom!, incompatible kernel and userland. Why is this controversial? A member tk_nclocks was inserted in the middle of struct timekeep, changing the layout of the struct. The new kernel uses the new layout, the userland the old layout. Of course they're incompatible. I should have noticed this while reading the new diff... -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber na...@mips.inka.de
