Hi, Login prompt at the end of kernel bootup is blocked & getting the messasge "/bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off" I've tried with the options in busybox FAQ,nothing worked out. Details ls -l /dev/console crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 204, 64 Dec 31 17:00 /dev/console ls -l /dev/ttySAC0 crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 204, 64 Dec 31 17:00 /dev/ttySAC0 /etc/inittab: ::sysinit:/etc/init.d/rcS ttySAC0::respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttySAC0 115200 vt100 # GENERIC_SERIAL In ::sysinit:/etc/init.d/rcS i'm doing : exec /bin/sh setsid sh -c 'exec sh </dev/ttySAC0 >/dev/ttySAC0 2>&1' by the completion of /etc/inittabscript,I'm ending in shell prompt with the messsge "/bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off" But I can run all commads from the shell prompt (Except login,if I give system hangs) I feel the information, I provided may not be very clear,but this is my first time working in linux. plz suggest a way to get login working.
