[klibc] problems when exec()ing /sbin/init from an initramfs
This is an early userspace type question. I have an initramfs that does
some root device setup, then tries to mount the real root partition and
exec /sbin/init to start the real userland. It seems to do what I want,
except that bootlogd hangs while mount /proc. I can't seem to figure
out why.
I'm booting with init=/bin/bash. bash is dynamically linked, and the
appropriate libs are in /lib on the initramfs. This may be a stupid
idea, but it's only for initial testing.
Kernel 2.6.0-test10 on ia64.
Distro is debian unstable.
I edited the /etc/init.d/bootlogd script so it would execute as "/bin/sh
-x", and I straced the daemon when it started.
Here is a transcript. Any ideas? I just can't fathom why proc would
hang during the mount call.
bash-2.05b# mount -t proc none /proc
bash-2.05b# mkdir /sys
bash-2.05b# mount -t sysfs none /sys
bash-2.05b# /sbin/insmod mptbase.ko

bash-2.05b# /sbin/insmod mptscsih.ko
bash-2.05b# /sbin/insmod sd_mod.ko

bash-2.05b# mount /udev/xscsi/pci20.01.1-1/target2/lun0/part2 /newroot/
bash-2.05b# umount /sys
bash-2.05b# umount /proc
bash-2.05b# rm -rf /newroot/udev/*
bash-2.05b# cp -a /udev/* /newroot/udev/

There must be some problem with switching from ramfs / to a real / then trying to mount /proc again.
