Busybox exits instantly printing 'SIGUSR1'

http://unix.stackexchange.com – I was tinkering with my router these days. It runs on MIPS core and the OS is based on Linux. But the builtin busybox is very limited. I managed to export a binary of busybox compiled for MIPS through telnet. After changing chmod to executable, when I try to run the binary with command './busybox-mips', it instantly prints 'SIGUSR1' on the terminal and terminates. What is wrong here? How can I successfully run this new Busybox binary? (HowTos)

i have a filesystem build with buildroot, to compile code for a device using a old kernel and uClibc.

Now i want to chroot into the fs. The problem is, i dont have /bin/bash, just /bin/busybox. How do i say chroot to use busybox ash instead? I already tried to create a link to busybox ash, but chroot still says failed to run command /bin/bash. no such file or directory.

We're building a tool right now which includes booting a tiny Linux environment via PXE, and having it perform a number of system configuration operations without loading a larger system.

Hey,

So a few months ago, I installed either an older version of Busybox, or the newer version I installed never stuck. Basically, I have two folders that contain the busybox commands: /sbin and /system/xbin. In Terminal Emu., when I enter a Busybox command, it seems to only acknowledge the older folder (/sbin).
