[erlang-questions] Running rebar generated release failing with Kernel pid terminated"

Thanks Dmitry,

After adding inets to the app config file it failed with -

{"init terminating in do_boot",{'cannot load',mnesia_backup,get_file}}

I then excluded mnesia in reltool.config as I am not using it (Is this the
correct thing to do?)

Now it shows -

{"init terminating in do_boot",{'cannot load',erts_alloc_config,get_file}}

I tried adding erts to app config but get the same error.

I don't think erts can be excluded, right?

I am not able to understand why is it required to either include in app
config or
exclude it in reltool config. What's going on here and who is behind the
magic,
reltools or rebar :-)

Really appreciate all the help, it would have very difficult for me to
reach this far otherwise. Thanks a lot.
