Dear Chandrashekat,
Thanks for explaining the difference between proc and sysfs. I will
compile with proc support and revert back

No. sysfs and procfs are two different things altogether. sysfs is a
virtual filesystem like procfs, but it provides information only about
hardware/devices of your system. procfs consists of various stuff
exported by the kernel to the userland programs (which include process
information, mount-points, memory-maps, module specific exported data
, hardware information, networking subsystem, and so on).
it is facing issues in finding the /sys/mount file and other files in
/sys. Script is not able to run the fsck on mounted file system. I
replaced all the reference to /proc file system in rc.sysinit with
/sys file system.
You must enable procfs support in your kernel configuration and
recompile it. No changes to sysinit scripts are necessary.
Additionaly, to mount sysfs during boot time, you must add the
following line into your /etc/fstab:
none /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
Also, make sure that the procfs entry remains in your /etc/fstab.
Cheers,
Chandrashekar Babu.
