Thanks Matt for reminding me of how stupid and forgetful we can be :) For those playing along... If you upgrade from CRUX <= 2.7 and keep that system's kernel config doing a "make oldconfig" **be sure** to enable DEVTMPFS in the config (both options) or you won't get a booting system :) cheers James James Mills / prologic E: prologic@shortcircuit.net.au W: prologic.shortcircuit.net.au On Tue, Jan 27, 2015 at 7:44 AM, James Mills <prologic@shortcircuit.net.au> wrote:

Hi folks,

I seem to be getting rusty at CRUX installs :)

First of all I found that if you install CRUX 3.1 on a 64bit machine copiny an old 2.7 kernel config over and doing "make oldconfig" and forgetting to "Enable 64bit Kernel" the kernel boots but fails to start /sbin/init :) (Anyway fixed that issue).

The next issue is around /dev/null on bootup. The boot falls back into single user mode with errors around not accessing /dev/null (missing?)

I thought udev took care of all this? I must be missing something stupdily simple :)

cheers James
