[PATCH] Documentation: cover CONFIG_BINFMT_SCRIPT in init.txt

From: Kris Rusocki
Date: Thu May 30 2013 - 15:24:26 EST


From: Kris Rusocki <kszysiu@xxxxxxxxxx>

Now that binfmt_script is configurable, explain yet another possible
cause of boot failure (a script w/CONFIG_BINFMT_SCRIPT != y).

E) make sure the binary's architecture matches your hardware.
E.g. i386 vs. x86_64 mismatch, or trying to load x86 on ARM hardware.
In case you tried loading a non-binary file here (shell script?),
- you should make sure that the script specifies an interpreter in its shebang
- header line (#!/...) that is fully working (including its library
+ you should make sure that your kernel supports script execution
+ (CONFIG_BINFMT_SCRIPT=y) and the script specifies an interpreter in its
+ shebang header line (#!/...) that is fully working (including its library
dependencies). And before tackling scripts, better first test a simple
non-script binary such as /bin/sh and confirm its successful execution.
To find out more, add code to init/main.c to display kernel_execve()s
