/var/log/messages is empty and ls doesn't support --color, -l and more

[Alessio Massaro]

The last few days I've been running tests against daily svn updates of
buildroot.

All of a sudden I got the following problems with both busybox release and
snapshot:

1) /var/log/messages remains empty
2) ls doesn't understand -l and --color (so ls doesn t work until I unalias
it)
3) The command line desc of ifup is shown just before the login: prompt
4) I have to supply a password for root. I'm rejected the first time, I get
in the second
4) The automated DHCP config of the kernel stopped working. Not even
ifconfig up dhcp works!


I didn t change the kernel config and I compile it with the buildroot gcc
4.0.2.

Does anybody have any idea, please? I'm really clueless.

Thanx
