Replacing rcS file in the /etc/init.d folder

Girish
Respected Sir / Madam,

I have recently purchased tiny 6410 friendly arm kit and have already
completed an QT based application for the same and it is running properly
in the both desktop as well as icon launcher mode in the tiny 6410, now I
have to launch the application at system start up and trying to comment the
last three qtopia lines and added my application lines there but the system
says that it cannot find the rcS file.

1) I have replaced the rcS file in the /etc/init.d folder itself.

2) ALL rights for user,others and admin are provided to the newly copied
rcS file. 

Please do let me know what am i doing wrong and help me resolve this issue.

Show us the lines that you added to the file.

Also, have you gone back and checked that those lines are still in the file
after a re-boot?

Hello Davef,

Thanks for your response.

Kindly find the attached hyper-terminal log file and the rcS file copied in
the tiny6410 kit.

Me too suspected that this might be happening because of changes done by me
in the rcS file and thus reverted the whole firmware to the default state
using the images folder provided in the PART-B DVD and just commented the
last three lines used for loading Qtopia and copied the updated rcS file at
the default /etc/init.d location.

Observed that even after doing only this changes too the kit gives "cannot
open /etc/init.d/rcS: No such file or directory exists" 

Appreciate any pointer for resolving this issue.

Regards,
Girish

After looking at your /etc/init.d/rcS I didn't see what I was expecting. 
The early mini2440 Qtopia distro would mount /etc/ such that any changes
would disappear on the next boot.

I believe it had something to do with the way /etc was mounted, ie tmpfs?

Sorry, don't have any other suggestions other than searching for <etc
tmpfs>
