Hi all,
I was using LinuxBIOS to boot Linux from IDE from a Broadcom HT,1000 south bridge based platform , I encounter an issue which is hard to understand. I hope somebody can give me some insight.
During boot, Linux stoped at the point that it displayed a message: "Configuring kernel parameters: [ OK ]"
then I pressed "CTRL-C", Linux continue to boot, but display a message: "Starting automount:Cannot create temp file /tmp/autofs.meQYNM, could not make temp file"
then Linux boot Skipped rest of initialization, like probe the network and etc. but Linux did give me a login prompt, I can login using root, but I cannot write any file at root directory, It appears to me Entire Linux file system becomes readonly.
Phoenix BIOS came with that board doesn't have this issue, so I know it should be LinuxBIOS related. I just don't know why.
Does anybody know anything about this issue?
Can you show your /etc/inittab?
