[Buildroot] Problems after building rootfs.i386.ext2

[Micha Holzmann]

Hi,

i did what you recommended. I chrooted and tried to mount proc with
several methods.

mount -t proc proc /proc
mount -t proc none /prot

proc was not mounted. mount said, to mount it needs proc mounted. At
this moment mount is a symlink to busybox. I left the chroot and mounted
proc to the proc inside the rootfs and do chroot again. mount without
options shows me infos. But ls -al still stucks until i press CTRL-C.
No change in the behavior.

The second hint you gave me, was to use strace. I activated strace in
the menuconfig. The compiler gives me errors for two lines:

net.c: In function ¿printsock¿:
net.c:958: error: field ¿ll¿ has incomplete type
net.c:961: error: field ¿nl¿ has incomplete type
make[2]: *** [net.o] Fehler 1

In this case i have no strace which runs inside the chroot.

I tried to build buildroot the last two weeks over 30+ times.
Now i am running out of ideas what to do.   :-)

May you have any further idea(s)?
