The latest busybox (1.4.2) is not happy with glibc. uClibc works fine
tho. So I moved to busybox 1.0 and it works. BTW how does on load a
proper initrd on this box. busybox 1.00 does work glibc. I'm
discussing it with the busybox team.
P.S
What is the safe address to load a initrd image and what is the
maximum size that can be loaded?
