This is nothing to do with Xen, it's just normal (and expected) Linux
knowledge I'm afraid. The /root/init.sh which I use is:
        #!/bin/sh
        set -x
        mount -o remount,rw /
        mount -t proc none /proc
        mount -t sysfs none /sys
        mount -t tmpfs none /run
        mkdir /run/lock
        /etc/init.d/udev start
        mount -t devpts none /dev/pts
        hostname -F /etc/hostname
        /etc/init.d/xencommons start
        echo 9 > /proc/sysrq-trigger
        cd /root
        exec /bin/bash

But TBH if you don't know what an initscript is then it might be best if you try
and find someone locally (e.g. in your department) who knows about Linux
and ask them to help bring you up to speed.

Hi Ian/all,
When start udev, there comes error:  initctl: Unable to connect to Upstart: Failed to connect to socket /com/ubuntu/upstart: Connection refused

I'm considering that it is because I didn't configure the dom0 network. But when I start the network, some tools are not found in arm chroot FS, e.g. brctl.

Is it necessary to start network when start udev?

Thanks.

Sincerely,

Xiaoguang
