[yocto] poky: core-image-minimal cannot login

[Elvis Dowson]

Hi,
      I've created a ramdisk with core-image-minimal for powerpc 440 soft-float, and find that I cannot login

Yocto (Built by Poky 7.0) 1.2+snapshot-20120812 (none) ttyS0                                                    
                                                                                                                
(none) login:

I type root, but it doesn't do anything.

Putting init=/bin/sh works, and I get a bash prompt ok, but I don't get a login prompt if I let the default /etc/inittab run using getty.

Best regards,

Elvis Dowson
