Hi!

This may cause problems. C.f. docs/manual/configure.txt:

    If you use kernel headers that are more recent than the Linux
    kernel you run on your embedded system, then the C library might
    be using interfaces that are not provided by your Linux kernel.

In the same config file, there is:
> # BR2_PACKAGE_BUSYBOX is not set

When disabling busybox, you should have seen the message:

    You may need to enable other packages to get a working system
    You better know what you're doing!

And then:
> # BR2_PACKAGE_SYSTEMD_LOGIND is not set
> # BR2_PACKAGE_UTIL_LINUX_LOGIN is not set

Looks like there is no `login' program to let you in. You are probably
only seeing the "login" prompt from getty, but then getty cannot spawn
login.
