Frequently Asked Questions
==========================
The boot hangs after 'Starting network...'
------------------------------------------
If the boot process seems to hand after the following messages
(messages not necessarily exactly similar, depending on the list of
packages selected):
------------------------
Freeing init memory: 3972K
Initializing random number generator... done.
Starting network...
Starting dropbear sshd: generating rsa key... generating dsa key... OK
------------------------
then it means that your system is running, but didn't start a shell on
the serial console. In order to have the system start a shell on your
serial console, you have to go in the Buildroot configuration, +System
configuration+, and modify +Port to run a getty (login prompt) on+ and
+Baudrate to use+ as appropriate. This will automatically tune the
+/etc/inittab+ file of the generated system so that a shell starts on
the correct serial port.
module-init-tools fails to build with 'cannot find -lc'
-------------------------------------------------------
If the build of +module-init-tools+ for the host fails with:
------------------------
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lc
------------------------
then probably you are running a Fedora (or similar) distribution, and
you should install the +glibc-static+ package. This is because the
+module-init-tools+ build process wants to link statically against the
C library.
