Busybox Shell Exiting

[Manju Mahajan]

thanks for your reply
Can't find the file. : file exists
Wrong permissions on the file.  (is the exec bit set?) : yes it is set
Can't find the libraries for the file.  (And remember: libraries can load
libraries.  ldd is your friend, or readelf.) : I don;t fully undestand this
one
which libraries ?


I will try standalone shell version, how do I do that ?.

There's only a half-dozen or so options with cannot execv:

Can't find the file.
Wrong permissions on the file.  (is the exec bit set?)

Try building a statically linked "standalone shell" version of busybox and
running it as init (append init=/path/to/ash to your kernel command line).
Then try running the normal shell from that one.  If that works, the problem
is more likely with init...
