Hey Peter! That helped a lot!
I upgraded to the br 2009.11 release. Good work, I like it a lot --
much simpler :).
I am getting two errors and I was wondering if you could help me out
again?
One comes when I use the bootline : Linux/PowerPC load: console=ttyS0
ip=on root=/dev/ram
The boot goes as before, but the last few lines of the boot are:
Sending DHCP requests ., OK
IP-Config: Got DHCP answer from 0.0.0.0, my address is
10.49.211.5
IP-Config: Complete:
device=eth0, addr=10.49.211.5, mask=255.255.240.0,
gw=10.49.223.254,
host=10.49.211.5, domain=appsig.com, nis-domain=appsig.com,
bootserver=0.0.0.0, rootserver=0.0.0.0, rootpath=
Freeing unused kernel memory: 944k init
Initializing random number generator... done.
Starting network...
ip: RTNETLINK answers: File exists
If I tack on a rdinit=/bin/sh I don't get that error but I get:
IP-Config: Got DHCP answer from 0.0.0.0, my address is
10.49.211.5
IP-Config: Complete:
device=eth0, addr=10.49.211.5, mask=255.255.240.0,
gw=10.49.223.254,
host=10.49.211.5, domain=appsig.com, nis-domain=appsig.com,
bootserver=0.0.0.0, rootserver=0.0.0.0, rootpath=
Freeing unused kernel memory: 944k init
/bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off
/ #
And I can't use the DNS names of any servers. The good thing is that I
can now poke around the filesystem(r/w)! Do you know what settings
would cause these errors? Is it even in the buildroot config or the
linux kernel?
Thanks a ton!

Then this is probably wrong (unless you have FPU emulation enabled in
the kernel, which you shouldn't):
Ryan> # BR2_SOFT_FLOAT is not set
You can find it under toolchain options.
Once you change this you need to rebuild everything (rm -rf *build_*;
make).
