After I messed with glibc and coreutils, SliTaz fails to boot. I'm wondering if the community can help me recover it. During the boot sequence, I get this error message:
"init[1]: segfault at 6 ip 00000006 sp bfa87d2c error 4 in busybox[8048000+97000]"
Apparently, something is wrong with busybox, but I am not sure how to fix it.
I am also not sure how I broke the system, but I think that it's related to my trying to update glibc:
- Before this all started, I ran into a valgrind error pretty much exactly like the one described here: http://forum.slitaz.org/topic/valgrind-fatal-error-on-slitaz
- Because the valgrind error referenced glibc, I thought I needed to update glibc. After compiling glibc (v2.19), I went into the Tazpkg manager to remove the existing version of glibc. The removal of glibc immediately caused the system to become unstable, and I had to reboot into the SliTaz Live CD.
- I rebooted into the SliTaz 4.0 LiveCD and tried to install glibc-2.19 by compiling the source code, which was already on my hard drive, and setting the installation folder to the /usr folder on the hard drive (as opposed to the /usr folder of the LiveCD's file system.)
I _think_ the glibc installation worked, because I looked to see if glibc files were on the hard drive (by executing "find / -name *glibc*.so*"), and I verified that my hard drive contained all the glibc .so files that the LiveCD file system has.
However, the system still did not boot after I installed glibc (and for that matter, I am not 100% sure that I installed it properly).
Also, I think that, in addition to glibc, the coreutils package may mix into this somehow. Before I had attempted to install glibc, I installed coreutils from Tazpkg, and I'm not sure if maybe that had an impact on busybox. When coreutils installed, I saw a message that said something like "Replacing busybox . . ." I can't remember the exact message now, but it seemed to impact busybox.
Can anyone help me troubleshoot? I tried, unsuccessfully, to do what the user, Bellard, suggested in this post: http://forum.slitaz.org/topic/no-init-found-on-mounted-partition. I'm not sure what to do.
Thanks in advance.
