13:08 < itsu> hey there rxr
13:09 < rxr> hi itsu 
13:09 < itsu> thanx for the initrd image :-)
13:10 < itsu> can you include the kernel to build with the initrd image ?
13:10 < itsu> sorry. skipped a bit ahead
13:10 < rxr> what do you mean with that exactly ?
13:10 < itsu> you replied to the pxe built option a few days ago
13:11 < itsu> 'target for pxe boot'
13:12 < itsu> the message was sent to the t2 list by you on 07-aug-2008
13:12 < rxr> yep
13:12 < itsu> so i build the initrd with the current svn
13:13 < rxr> ok
13:13 < itsu> so everything went fine but the kernel which is needed for the pxe boot is not build when choosing to create the initrd rootfs
13:13 < itsu> probably trivial 
13:14 < rxr> hm - for my build I had a kernel
13:14 < itsu> as i can build the kernel in a separte step 
13:14 < rxr> which target did you build? your own?
13:14 < itsu> where do i find it  ?
13:14 < rxr> maybe no linux26 package selected ?
13:14 < itsu> checking ...
13:15 < rxr> the initrd is in build/.../TOOLCHAIN/initrd.img IIRC
13:15 < rxr> and the kernel is just the one from the root filesystem sandbox
13:15 < rxr> build/../boot/
13:15 < rxr> of course thebuild/.../boot/ will also have a initrd, however that is a normal in-system one, e.g. to boot from HD etc.
13:15 < itsu> ah.
13:15 < itsu> cool
13:15 < itsu> i'll give it a try imediatly
13:16 < rxr> the build/.../TOOLCHAIN/initrd.img is the postprocessed one including the actual "whole linux system in a initrd"
13:16 < itsu> is there any special arguments you recommend for the pxe loader
13:16 < rxr> generally in build/.../ is the t2 chroot sandbox - the new system build
13:16 < rxr> built
13:17 < itsu> like what pxe arguments did you use to boot this ?
13:17 < rxr> and in build/.../TOOLCHAIN for one thing the cross compiler is living, and for the other all post processing is taking place, for livecd's the rootfs is compressed or for this initrd output the initrd is created and comrpessed
13:17 < rxr> well - you put them on your TFTP space as usual and let your DHCP server pass the filenames to the PXE client ?
13:17 < itsu> okay besides the kernel itself i found the other stuff allready
13:17 < itsu> yea thats right
13:17 < rxr> you can even test with qemu directly
13:18 < itsu> but the kernel needs some options to boot the initrd correctly 
13:18 < rxr> qemu -m $((128*6)) -boot n -option-rom /usr/share/qemu/pxe-ne2k_pci.bin -tftp /home/rene/tftp/ -bootp /boot/pxelinux.0
13:18 < itsu> since its pxe and not a local media i mean
13:18 < rxr> or grub or whatever
13:18 < itsu> i mean the arguments passed to the kernel at boot time ..
13:19 < rxr> where the pxelinuc.cfg/default would look just liek this:
13:19 < rxr> LABEL linux
13:19 < rxr> KERNEL vmlinuz_2.6.26.2-dist
13:19 < rxr> APPEND initrd=initrd.img
13:19 < itsu> thats all ?
13:19 < rxr> well - yo udo not need to pass special arguments to the kernel
13:19 < itsu> cool !
13:19 < rxr> you jsut laod the kernel and initrd
13:19 < itsu> allright
13:19 < rxr> the initrd will contain whatever you let T2 build
13:19 < rxr> so it's directly running the init process from within this RAM system
13:19 < rxr> --
13:19 < itsu> i'll report back on how it worked out for me 
13:19 < itsu> hughe thanx !
13:20 < rxr> your're welcome!
13:20 < rxr> actually I'm in the office on sunday because I have some important customer query to do, so I'll be a little less repsonsive the next 1-2h until I leave again to guide our guests thru Berlin ...
13:20 < itsu> good luck
13:20 < rxr> I cross my fingers for your builds
13:20 < rxr> have fun
13:20 < itsu> bye :-)

13:36 < CIA-4> dd
14:31 < CIA-4> rene * r30101 /trunk/package/x86/grub/grub.conf: 
14:31 < CIA-4> * split grub_postinstall function into two parts, main grub binary
14:31 < CIA-4>  install, and custom network boot variant building, to make it easier
14:31 < CIA-4>  to customize and just build some of it in targets and derived packages
14:42 < CIA-4> rene * r30102 /trunk/package/x86/grub-sunos/ (7 files): 
14:42 < CIA-4> * added grub-sunos (0.95-r7300), a GRUB flavor with more BIOS quirks
14:42 < CIA-4>  already fixed, and including PXE UNDI network stack support

17:06 < itsu> @rxr : can you hand out a pxe build target you have used your own ?
17:07 < itsu> the minimalistic generic build is still too big and i have no idea how to strip it down.
17:07 < itsu> thanx in advance
