Kernel crash after "Object "it" is unknown

[randysilagi]

Hi all,

I am using an i.mx6SX saber board.  When it boots, it gets almost all the way there however, just before the login prompt it get:

Freeing unused kernel memory: 428K (80a8f000 - 80afa000)

random: init urandom read with 13 bits of entropy available

Object "it" is unknown, try "ip help".

Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! exitcode=0x00000100

So, not sure what to do about this.  What does exitcode 0x100 mean?  What is "object "it"?  Where can I find object it and when it says "try "ip help" does this mean TCP/IP or Intellectual Property?

Hi Igor,

Thanks for the pointer to the app note.  I never thought of using kgdb to capture the stack and which code is executing when the panic happens.   What I did was bring up menuconfig and disable every option except for networking.  Then the kernel booted.  Now I am adding them back one at a time.

Thanks for your help.

Hi Igor,

Thank you for your quick response.  However, that does not answer any of my questions.  I can't use the canned image as it does not have some of the features that I need and  I need to add/remove features.  I don't need or use the MFG tool, I write the SD card on Ubuntu and then plug it in.

Any ideas what exitcode=0x0000100 is?
