16:27 < rxr> re
16:27 < rxr> |beowulf|: I guess you use no initrd ?
16:34 < |beowulf|> no initrd, no
16:34 < |beowulf|> the kernel doesn't even have modules
16:38 < rxr> you either need to have some tmpfs entry for /dev in your fstab for the device notes of udev to be creatable ...
16:38 < rxr> I guess 99% of us right now use initrd populating a /dev tmpfs before the main syste mboots ...
16:44 < |beowulf|> dev /dev tmpfs defaults 0 0 <-- will that line in fstab do?
16:45 < rxr> you had it already?
16:45 < |beowulf|> no, just created it...
16:46 < rxr> I just looked at the system init script
16:46 < rxr> I fear it might not yet work anyway
16:47 < rxr> the udevd start woudl need to be moved on top with an explicit /dev mount ...
16:47 < |beowulf|> any reason why it isn't at the top already?
16:48 < rxr> because the deault initrd sets it up for root device mounting with modular kernels
16:48 < rxr> and we just restart udevd from the system then after the filesystem mount and check
16:48 < rxr> guess noone cared so far due fully modular use with initrd these days

17:42 < Baldzius> hi rxr
19:37 -!- hoss10123 [n=hoss1012@pix-osh-primary.oracular.com] has quit ["peace out"]
19:39 < |beowulf|> rxr: is it sufficient to just call 'mkinitrd 2.6.23-rc3' to build the initrd?
19:48 < rxr> should be
20:11 < |beowulf|> rxr: http://www.hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de/~siflfran/qube.1.log <-- any idea what's going wrong here?
20:15 < rxr> probably mostly the not setup udev causing tons of trailing issues
20:15 < rxr> you have not yet got the udev thing work arounded, hm ?
20:17 < |beowulf|> I created an initrd and hoped that would solve it -- but I'm not even sure it's being used
20:19 < rxr> you have not specified it in your boot loader thingy ?
20:19 < rxr> anyway
20:19 < rxr> just leave that alone then
20:19 < rxr> try that:
20:19 < rxr> http://people.exactcode.de/~rene/t2-no-initrd.patch
20:20 * rxr crossing fingers
20:22 < |beowulf|> hm, I don't think I can specify it in the bootloader
20:22 < |beowulf|> at least not so that it is persistent
20:23 < rxr> ok - then try that patch :-)
20:31 < |beowulf|> rxr: http://www.hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de/~siflfran/qube.2.log <-- I think /proc isn't mounted yet at that time
20:39 < rxr> is your root on an MD?
20:42 < rxr> ah - sorry the root is mounted at that time
20:42 < |beowulf|> root is an md, yes
20:43 < rxr> the first stray errors are harmless
20:44 < rxr> the proc due to hotplug execution disabling (due using netlink with udev)
20:44 < rxr> and the killall likewise, udevd is not running yet anyway (as oppost to comming form an initrd)
20:44 < rxr> the dev/console stuff is probably just from the logging
20:45 < rxr> can you try to use a device-node identifer for the rootfs in the fstab instead the UUID ?
20:45 < |beowulf|> I'll try...
20:45 < rxr> also a cat /proc/mounts
20:46 < rxr> after the udevd start and the /dev/shm and pts mounts ...
20:46 < |beowulf|> you mean in the system script?
20:46 < rxr> yes
20:53 < |beowulf|> rxr: cat: /proc/mounts: No such file or directory
20:54 < rxr> ah - damn
20:54 < rxr> I guess we uregently should re-improve non initrd support
20:54 < rxr> + mount -n /sys
20:54 < rxr> + mount -n /proc
20:54 < rxr> before mount -n /dev
20:54 < rxr> sorry ...
20:55 < rxr> in the good old days T2 was pure non-initrd (initrd what the heck do we want with that)
20:55 * |beowulf| never used an initrd before today
20:55 < rxr> now that we have fully automatic, and fully modular initrd support we just ignored non-initrd support majorly ...
20:55 < rxr> sorry
20:55 < rxr> I'll fix that in trunk when we got your cube going .-)
20:56 < rxr> btw. /me waiting for my second Apple Cube ...
20:56 < rxr> with replaced CPU (1.2 GHz instead of the original 400-450) and ATi Radeon instead of the original R128
20:57 < rxr> actually I only was seking for a OpenFirmware, Cube compatible Radeon
20:57 < rxr> but as they are that rare, I decided to get a whole cube with it .-)
20:57 < |beowulf|> what do you use it for?
20:57 < rxr> desktop computer
20:57 < rxr> daily work, edit compile it is enough
20:57 < rxr> and for more advanced stuf fI can log into oru central 8-way anyway ...
20:58 < rxr> I just love the cube design ... :-)
20:58 < rxr> (and PPC CPU, too)
20:58 < rxr> but I do not yet ahve the 2nd, "tuned" one, might arrive tomorrow ...
20:59 < |beowulf|> hm, I don't think I have a line that does mount -n /dev
20:59 < rxr> the patch I posted before should had it ,no ?
20:59 < |beowulf|> oh, sorry, wrong system :)
21:00 < |beowulf|> anything else I should add?
21:00 < rxr> maybe another new error reminds me about something missing .-)
21:04 < |beowulf|> http://www.hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de/~siflfran/qube.3.log
21:06 < rxr> can you add an ls /dev/md* ; ls /dev
21:06 < rxr> to the cat /proc/mounts for debug hints ?
21:10 < rxr> I
21:10 < rxr> m just off for dinner
21:13 < |beowulf|> http://www.hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de/~siflfran/qube.4.log
22:09 < rxr> can you try (sorry for the try'N error) adding a udevsettle after the udevtrigger ?
22:09 < rxr> btw. you have udev on the box right?
22:09 < rxr> is that some generic build or some custom build ?
22:25 < |beowulf|> it's generic
22:32 < |beowulf|> rxr: http://www.hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de/~siflfran/qube.5.log
22:33 < rxr> hm - btw. can it be you build your kernel without sysfs support ?
22:33 < rxr> mount: can't find /sys in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
22:33 < rxr> oh
22:34 < rxr> fstab:
22:34 < rxr> none /sys sysfs rw 0 0
22:37 < |beowulf|> http://www.hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de/~siflfran/fstab <-- anything else missing?
22:39 < rxr> I wonder why my fstab has "rw" for sysfs, strange
22:39 < rxr> I think that could be just "defaults"
22:39 < rxr> I think the fstab should be good now
22:39 < rxr> when I merge that to trunk I'll open code it to explicitly specify the arguemnts to mount anyway, so it will work regardless of missing fstab entires
22:41 < |beowulf|> anything else I should change before I put the harddrive into the qube? :)
22:41 < rxr> maybe I should have locally tested that in Qemu ?
22:52 < |beowulf|> hm, it's in runlevel 3 now but it didn't start a getty on the serial port
22:52 < |beowulf|> and it didn't start networking either
22:53 < rxr> did you enable some serial getty ?
22:53 < |beowulf|> I did
22:54 < rxr> network is configured ?
22:54 < |beowulf|> http://www.hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de/~siflfran/qube.6.log
22:54 < |beowulf|> I'll take a look at that now
22:55 < rxr> Setting up network devices. v
22:55 < rxr> /sbin/rocknet: line 121: /dev/fd/62: No such file or directory
22:55 < rxr> /sbin/rocknet: line 131: /dev/fd/62: No such file or directory
22:55 < rxr> put this after your custom mount /dev in the init.d/system:
22:55 < rxr> ln -s /proc/self/fd /dev/fd
22:58 < |beowulf|> anything else?
22:58 < rxr> sorry, my last initrd less system was like 5y ago :-(
22:58 < rxr> I wissh I could forsee issues
22:58 < |beowulf|> :)
22:59 < rxr> that should help some scripts liek the netconf ...
22:59 < rxr> but why your serial terminal is not working I did not see ...
22:59 < rxr> you are sure to add it to the /etc/inittab ?

23:08 < |beowulf|> didn't make much of a difference
23:08 < |beowulf|> except that now there is /dev/fd
23:09 < rxr> mh
23:18 < |beowulf|> why doesn't the prng get seeded?
23:19 < rxr> it should
23:19 < rxr> I would have to review, maybe it is only seeded after the first successful shutdown when some var/seed state is there and you's is lacking it due to a hand install or so
23:24 < |beowulf|> hmmm, the rocknet code looks like a lot of black magic...
23:24 < |beowulf|> no idea what it does with /dev/fd/62
23:26 < rxr> nothing
23:26 < rxr> that is from the shell for job control
23:26 < rxr> job pipe whatever
23:27 < rxr> actually I enver took a closer look
23:27 < rxr> that is what modern linux distributions need this /proc/self -> /dev/fd link for
23:27 < rxr> maybe something is still wrong with the proc mount
23:27 < rxr> or the symlink is not correct ?
23:28 < rxr> Baldzius: I can offer you to help in form of fixing the system init in some VM tomorrow when an article is done I have to finish soonish

23:31 < rxr> evil tab completion while looking at another window ...

16:27 < rxr> re
16:27 < rxr> |beowulf|: I guess you use no initrd ?
16:34 < |beowulf|> no initrd, no
16:34 < |beowulf|> the kernel doesn't even have modules
16:38 < rxr> you either need to have some tmpfs entry for /dev in your fstab for the device notes of udev to be creatable ...
16:38 < rxr> I guess 99% of us right now use initrd populating a /dev tmpfs before the main syste mboots ...
16:44 < |beowulf|> dev /dev tmpfs defaults 0 0 <-- will that line in fstab do?
16:45 < rxr> you had it already?
16:45 < |beowulf|> no, just created it...
16:46 < rxr> I just looked at the system init script
16:46 < rxr> I fear it might not yet work anyway
16:47 < rxr> the udevd start woudl need to be moved on top with an explicit /dev mount ...
16:47 < |beowulf|> any reason why it isn't at the top already?
16:48 < rxr> because the deault initrd sets it up for root device mounting with modular kernels
16:48 < rxr> and we just restart udevd from the system then after the filesystem mount and check
16:48 < rxr> guess noone cared so far due fully modular use with initrd these days

19:37 -!- hoss10123 [n=hoss1012@pix-osh-primary.oracular.com] has quit ["peace out"]
19:39 < |beowulf|> rxr: is it sufficient to just call 'mkinitrd 2.6.23-rc3' to build the initrd?
19:48 < rxr> should be
20:11 < |beowulf|> rxr: http://www.hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de/~siflfran/qube.1.log <-- any idea what's going wrong here?
20:15 < rxr> probably mostly the not setup udev causing tons of trailing issues
20:15 < rxr> you have not yet got the udev thing work arounded, hm ?
20:17 < |beowulf|> I created an initrd and hoped that would solve it -- but I'm not even sure it's being used
20:19 < rxr> you have not specified it in your boot loader thingy ?
20:19 < rxr> anyway
20:19 < rxr> just leave that alone then
20:19 < rxr> try that:
20:19 < rxr> http://people.exactcode.de/~rene/t2-no-initrd.patch
20:20 * rxr crossing fingers
20:22 < |beowulf|> hm, I don't think I can specify it in the bootloader
20:22 < |beowulf|> at least not so that it is persistent
20:23 < rxr> ok - then try that patch :-)
20:31 < |beowulf|> rxr: http://www.hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de/~siflfran/qube.2.log <-- I think /proc isn't mounted yet at that time
20:39 < rxr> is your root on an MD?
20:42 < rxr> ah - sorry the root is mounted at that time
20:42 < |beowulf|> root is an md, yes
20:43 < rxr> the first stray errors are harmless
20:44 < rxr> the proc due to hotplug execution disabling (due using netlink with udev)
20:44 < rxr> and the killall likewise, udevd is not running yet anyway (as oppost to comming form an initrd)
20:44 < rxr> the dev/console stuff is probably just from the logging
20:45 < rxr> can you try to use a device-node identifer for the rootfs in the fstab instead the UUID ?
20:45 < |beowulf|> I'll try...
20:45 < rxr> also a cat /proc/mounts
20:46 < rxr> after the udevd start and the /dev/shm and pts mounts ...
20:46 < |beowulf|> you mean in the system script?
20:46 < rxr> yes
20:53 < |beowulf|> rxr: cat: /proc/mounts: No such file or directory
20:54 < rxr> ah - damn
20:54 < rxr> I guess we uregently should re-improve non initrd support
20:54 < rxr> + mount -n /sys
20:54 < rxr> + mount -n /proc
20:54 < rxr> before mount -n /dev
20:54 < rxr> sorry ...
20:55 < rxr> in the good old days T2 was pure non-initrd (initrd what the heck do we want with that)
20:55 * |beowulf| never used an initrd before today
20:55 < rxr> now that we have fully automatic, and fully modular initrd support we just ignored non-initrd support majorly ...
20:55 < rxr> sorry
20:55 < rxr> I'll fix that in trunk when we got your cube going .-)
20:56 < rxr> btw. /me waiting for my second Apple Cube ...
20:56 < rxr> with replaced CPU (1.2 GHz instead of the original 400-450) and ATi Radeon instead of the original R128
20:57 < rxr> actually I only was seking for a OpenFirmware, Cube compatible Radeon
20:57 < rxr> but as they are that rare, I decided to get a whole cube with it .-)
20:57 < |beowulf|> what do you use it for?
20:57 < rxr> desktop computer
20:57 < rxr> daily work, edit compile it is enough
20:57 < rxr> and for more advanced stuf fI can log into oru central 8-way anyway ...
20:58 < rxr> I just love the cube design ... :-)
20:58 < rxr> (and PPC CPU, too)
20:58 < rxr> but I do not yet ahve the 2nd, "tuned" one, might arrive tomorrow ...
20:59 < |beowulf|> hm, I don't think I have a line that does mount -n /dev
20:59 < rxr> the patch I posted before should had it ,no ?
20:59 < |beowulf|> oh, sorry, wrong system :)
21:00 < |beowulf|> anything else I should add?
21:00 < rxr> maybe another new error reminds me about something missing .-)
21:04 < |beowulf|> http://www.hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de/~siflfran/qube.3.log
21:06 < rxr> can you add an ls /dev/md* ; ls /dev
21:06 < rxr> to the cat /proc/mounts for debug hints ?
21:10 < rxr> I
21:10 < rxr> m just off for dinner
21:13 < |beowulf|> http://www.hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de/~siflfran/qube.4.log
22:09 < rxr> can you try (sorry for the try'N error) adding a udevsettle after the udevtrigger ?
22:09 < rxr> btw. you have udev on the box right?
22:09 < rxr> is that some generic build or some custom build ?
22:25 < |beowulf|> it's generic
22:32 < |beowulf|> rxr: http://www.hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de/~siflfran/qube.5.log
22:33 < rxr> hm - btw. can it be you build your kernel without sysfs support ?
22:33 < rxr> mount: can't find /sys in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
22:33 < rxr> oh
22:34 < rxr> fstab:
22:34 < rxr> none /sys sysfs rw 0 0
22:37 < |beowulf|> http://www.hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de/~siflfran/fstab <-- anything else missing?
22:39 < rxr> I wonder why my fstab has "rw" for sysfs, strange
22:39 < rxr> I think that could be just "defaults"
22:39 < rxr> I think the fstab should be good now
22:39 < rxr> when I merge that to trunk I'll open code it to explicitly specify the arguemnts to mount anyway, so it will work regardless of missing fstab entires
22:41 < |beowulf|> anything else I should change before I put the harddrive into the qube? :)
22:41 < rxr> maybe I should have locally tested that in Qemu ?
22:52 < |beowulf|> hm, it's in runlevel 3 now but it didn't start a getty on the serial port
22:52 < |beowulf|> and it didn't start networking either
22:53 < rxr> did you enable some serial getty ?
22:53 < |beowulf|> I did
22:54 < rxr> network is configured ?
22:54 < |beowulf|> http://www.hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de/~siflfran/qube.6.log
22:54 < |beowulf|> I'll take a look at that now
22:55 < rxr> Setting up network devices. v
22:55 < rxr> /sbin/rocknet: line 121: /dev/fd/62: No such file or directory
22:55 < rxr> /sbin/rocknet: line 131: /dev/fd/62: No such file or directory
22:55 < rxr> put this after your custom mount /dev in the init.d/system:
22:55 < rxr> ln -s /proc/self/fd /dev/fd
22:58 < |beowulf|> anything else?
22:58 < rxr> sorry, my last initrd less system was like 5y ago :-(
22:58 < rxr> I wissh I could forsee issues
22:58 < |beowulf|> :)
22:59 < rxr> that should help some scripts liek the netconf ...
22:59 < rxr> but why your serial terminal is not working I did not see ...
22:59 < rxr> you are sure to add it to the /etc/inittab ?

23:08 < |beowulf|> didn't make much of a difference
23:08 < |beowulf|> except that now there is /dev/fd
23:09 < rxr> mh
23:18 < |beowulf|> why doesn't the prng get seeded?
23:19 < rxr> it should
23:19 < rxr> I would have to review, maybe it is only seeded after the first successful shutdown when some var/seed state is there and you's is lacking it due to a hand install or so
23:24 < |beowulf|> hmmm, the rocknet code looks like a lot of black magic...
23:24 < |beowulf|> no idea what it does with /dev/fd/62
23:26 < rxr> nothing
23:26 < rxr> that is from the shell for job control
23:26 < rxr> job pipe whatever
23:27 < rxr> actually I enver took a closer look
23:27 < rxr> that is what modern linux distributions need this /proc/self -> /dev/fd link for
23:27 < rxr> maybe something is still wrong with the proc mount
23:27 < rxr> or the symlink is not correct ?
23:28 < rxr> Baldzius: I can offer you to help in form of fixing the system init in some VM tomorrow when an article is done I have to finish soonish

23:31 < rxr> |beowulf|, sorry Baldzius
23:31 < rxr> evil tab completion while looking at another window ...
