Thanks for your information. Yes. As you said we used the file system
that was build by Phytec for 2.6.10 kernel version. However, we do not
have the file system sources with us.

So, we have built busybox with the same tool chain version that we
used to build the 2.6.32 kernel image. Even though, we are seeing the
same error messages i.e. we are seeing 5 to 6 "/sbin/modprobe" calls
after calling the "/sbin/init". After that, we did not see any
messages at all. We are getting the SAME log messages that we got
earlier when we use this busybox file system which was build with same
tool chain.

Please let us know, if we are doing anything wrong here, still.

Thanks and Regards,
