From: Markos Chandras Date: Sun, 4 Nov 2012 23:44:54 +0000 (+0000) Subject: fs/common: Create initial console device X-Git-Url: https://git.libre-soc.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=e1ebae700a;p=buildroot.git fs/common: Create initial console device A /dev/console node must be present in rootfs when the Linux kernel boots otherwise the kernel will print the following warning: "Warning: unable to open an initial console" This is because when we use an initramfs the /dev directory is not populated at this point. This can cause problems when a program (e.g ldso with early debugging enabled) opens a standard file descriptor for read/write before these descriptors are actually created by the init process later on.
