[Buildroot] proc not mouning

[Heyendal, Carl]

Hi,

I've done something bad to my Buildroot platform, but I can't figure out what the problem is.

When the initramfs system switches over to the root filesystem on an SD Card created by Buildroot, 
it can't find /dev/null, and can't mount /proc.

When I login the /proc directory is not mounted, but I can manually mount it however from the command 
line. 

My inittab contains a statement to mount proc as well as another statement to do a 'mount -a'.
I verified that fstab contains an entry for proc. I know something is processing inittab because 
the boot scripts that inittab calls do run.

I even added an entry in inittab to 'mknod' /dev/null.

I'm really stumped by this. I even did a clean rebuild without any luck.

Output below. Appreciate any help.

thanx
