Hi,
I tried busybox-1.00-pre4 for linux-2.2.16 (gcc version 2.96).
But during make , it gave lot of warning errors like
bin/sh -invalid character 45 bin exportstr INIT-
I got bin, usr ,sbin directories but without linuxrc.
When I tried distribution on Soekris board-
I got last line as
No more tasks for init --- sleeping forever .
I already had ttyS0 entry in dev.
