Can not find /dev/initctl? Help me.

When I "init 1", it says: "Can not find /dev/initctl. No process left to run".
What can I do?

You could create one with

mknod -m 600 /dev/initctl p

But that does not explain why it is not there in the first place.
Maybe this has something to do with devfs or udev.

Thanks. But the initctl is already exist in /dev when it is in init 3. I am using udev, what can I do with it?

Is it /etc/udev/permissions.d/udev.permissions ?

I can't find initctl in it.

How can I setup it?

Here is the current solution (but still lacking)

There still is a problem with returning back to what I am only going to assume is either runlevel 3 or 5.
