 loading.

As far as I can understand the problem arises because you have installed grub 
everywhere.  When your BIOS kicks in it goes to the first disk's MBR, reads 
the GRUB boot code, which starts probing each and every device where a GRUB 
file system exists.  Perhaps it also checks each MBR?  Eventually it arrives 
at /dev/hdd and GRUB loads up its boot menu.  You can tweak 
the /boot/grub/device.map file to change the order of the devices and bring 
up /dev/hdd sooner.

Alternatively and probably easier would be to change the boot order of your 
drives in your BIOS menu.  Since you have installed GRUB in each drive's MBR 
you should be able to boot straight off your hdd drive.

HTH.

I don't have cdrkit on my systems and it does not seem to have a dependency

These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order:

So you successfully unmerged cdrkit, dvd+rw-tools and kino. The
installation of cdrtools fails because of a broken symlink. I guess the
/usr/include/scsilib/scg symlink to usr/include/scsilib/usal has not
been removed with cdrkit and is now broken and the cdrtools installation
can not overwrite the link. If the output is really red it is indeed a
broken symlink and you can safely remove it, then try to install
cdrtools again or use the proposed commands.

It should be no problem to install kino again as cdrkit provides the
same functionality like cdrtools, besides the different amount of
development that happens on both projects. But i think there was no need
to remove kino at all when switching to cdrtools, because it has no
dependency on both apps.

I find it a bit sad that cdrkit is the preferred cd burning application
because it satisfies the cdrtools virtual first. This means when you
have neither cdrkit nor cdrtools installed cdrkit is preferred. However
i could not find out why. There is nothing in the profiles which defines
how cdrkit is favored. Maybe someone can point me to the right location.

I think cdrtools should be preferred and not the fork cdrkit!

My make profile points to

[gentoo-user] Gentoo Bug Day

2008-07-05 Thread Ricardo Saffi Marques

Just as a reminder:
http://www.gentoo.org/news/20080701-bugday.xml

What: Gentoo contributors get together to help each other fix bugs

Where: irc.freenode.net, #gentoo-bugs

When: Saturday, July 5, in a timezone near you

What do you need to bring?

* A Gentoo system, an Internet connection and an IRC client
* Your bug. If you don't have one, we will find you one to suit your area of interest and your
skills

* Your favorite editor
* A way to test that your bug is fixed (asking people counts!)
* You don't need to know C, C++, or bash

What's a bug? Gentoo's way of tracking change requests. A change request can be anything from I've
found a typo in foo to I've built this really useful program called bar but there's no ebuild for
it. Bugs have various levels of helpfulness, from identifying the existence of a problem to
localizing the problem to providing the patch to fix it.

There are bugs in documentation such as man pages as well as ebuilds and the source code that Gentoo
distributes. These bugs are problem reports. Bugs for things Gentoo doesn't do yet but you think
should be done are feature requests. Bugday is more about fixing problems than adding features, but
you won't be turned away if you want help with a new feature.

Want to know more about Bugday? It's held on the first Saturday of every month. It's an opportunity
for everyone to contribute to making Gentoo better, and eventually you might even become a Gentoo
developer. See the Bugday project page for more details.

Bugday is about community spirit. Gentoo is a community—there is no me and them, there is only
we, so instead of lobbying for them to fix your particular bug, work together to fix it! Bugday
is an opportunity to get help to help yourself.

If you've been wanting to get involved but weren't sure how, Bugday is a great way for you to see
what goes on in making a distribution and get involved in Gentoo.

You should be able to boot and reinstall GRUB in which ever MBR you choose 
with a LiveCD.

 I've already changed the BIOS boot order to look at /dev/hdd's MBR
 first but that didn't help.

Right, have you checked your device.map to see if there's anything untoward in 
there?

 Now the system boots correctly but it takes ages (10sec) to come 
 from Grub loading Stage1.5 to Grub loading, please wait...

Stage1.5 contains the filesystem driver which will allow GRUB to be able to 
read the fs of hdd on which the /boot/grub/stage2 file is stored.  Since 10 
seconds to read a relatively small file is rather excessive, could it be a 
drive cable/ribbon fault?

 and then another 10sec or more to open the menu.

Ditto.  If it were that the GRUB code in the bootloader went into a loop or 
something, scanning all drives, then by this step it would not need to probe 
or access any other device.  The fact that it takes so long points towards a 
hardware rather than a configuration issue.  Other than that could it be a fs 
corruption problem?  /clutching at straws

Unless better ideas are proposed you may want to remerge grub, then re-install 
it manually in the first disk MBR using a grub  prompt (as per the handbook) 
and point it's root to your hdd disk.

HTH.

This is a really bad idea. 

/usr/include/scg/ is a planned directory that is known to be unique.

cdrkit does not deliver anything that is even approximately useful as a 
replacement for libscg.

Installing the includefiles from libscg into /usr/include/scsilib/scg makes them
unusable as there is no software that is aware of this location. It seems that 
the only result is that it makes it harder to install cdrtools instread of 
cdrkit.

 Hi,
 
 Never tried this myself but I think you should have no problems with
 mdadm. AFAIK JBOD is called linear mode in kernel and mdadm terms.
 Given that you have compiled the necessary modules you'll have to do
 something like:
 
 mdadm --create /dev/md0 --level=linear --raid-devices=2 /dev/sd{a,b}1
 mdadm --create /dev/md0 --level=mirror --raid-devices=2 /dev/{md0,sdc}
 
 
 HTH
 
Just a small update: No, it does not work. At bootup the RAID1 is
created but with only the single disk.

I'm now thinking about my options:
a) Never reboot ;)
b) Put mdadm -I /dev/md0 into /etc/conf.d/local.start
c) Use LVM for mirroring

Neither b nor c are very pleasant: 
b) gives me 37 minutes with high disk activity and no working RAID;
c) doesn't allow online resizing (AFAIK) but there are workarounds
(degrading to linear - resizing - upgrading to mirror; unpleasant,
but working).

At least there is some hope that the issue with c) will be solved in a
future version.

However, there might be other options:

- Could I disable the kernel auto-detection and instead add a custom
init-script prior to checkfs and localmount?

- Baselayout2 uses an init-script for mdraid. Does that mean it doesn't
rely on kernel auto-detection? If so, could it work with baselayout2 or
at least, would it be easier to get it working?

wrong. It is easy to tell software which needs/wants that headers the right

I am sure all software in gentoo needing this headers is fully aware of the

  I've already changed the BIOS boot order to look at /dev/hdd's MBR

 Right, have you checked your device.map to see if there's anything
 untoward in there?


(fd0)   /dev/fd0
(hd0)   /dev/hda
(hd1)   /dev/hdb
(hd2)   /dev/hdd

Looks clean to me.
 
  Now the system boots correctly but it takes ages (10sec) to come 
  from Grub loading Stage1.5 to Grub loading, please wait...
 
 Stage1.5 contains the filesystem driver which will allow GRUB to be
 able to read the fs of hdd on which the /boot/grub/stage2 file is
 stored.  Since 10 seconds to read a relatively small file is rather
 excessive, could it be a drive cable/ribbon fault?
 

And then the system works flawlessly? I don't think so. Badblocks
doesn't report anything on /dev/hdd1 right now and I've checked the rest
of the disk before I moved the system there.

  and then another 10sec or more to open the menu.
 
 Ditto.  If it were that the GRUB code in the bootloader went into a
 loop or something, scanning all drives, then by this step it would
 not need to probe or access any other device.  The fact that it takes
 so long points towards a hardware rather than a configuration issue.
 Other than that could it be a fs corruption problem?  /clutching at
 straws

e2fsck -f /dev/hdd1 shows no problem. dd can read the MBR of all disks
easily.

 
 Unless better ideas are proposed you may want to remerge grub, then
 re-install it manually in the first disk MBR using a grub  prompt
 (as per the handbook) and point it's root to your hdd disk.

Reemerged grub, installed it with grub-install into /dev/hdd and (just
to be sure) /dev/hdd1, let the BIOS boot from /dev/hdd - didn't help.

Then I've installed grub into hda's MBR. Then something odd happened:
Stage1.5 loads quiet fast but then Grub hangs once again of ~20sec
with: Grub loading, please wait ...

Since that is the moment when Grub accesses /dev/hdd for the first
time, I think it could really be a problem with the hard disk, however,
one that doesn't affect anything else. Maybe an automatic SMART
self-test at boot-up? I'll investigate and as a workaround I'll get an
SD-card or cheap USB-stick for Grub, since - unfortunately - the kernel
is too big to fit on a floppy.

Does the OS detect your device? I.E:

 1. Do you see it in dmesg?
 2. Does a device get created (e.g. /dev/video0)
 3. Can you read from the device: e.g: $ ffmpeg -f video4linux2 -s
800x600 -r 10 -i /dev/video0 test.avi

Likely your problem is one of the 3.

Mmmm, cdrtools may create a directory /usr/include/scg/ but the text /scsilib/
is nowhere in cdrtools.

In Gentoo scg is installed under /usr/include/scsilib

Here a snippet from the ebuild:

insinto /usr/include/scsilib/scg
doins include/scg/*.h

/usr/include/scsilib/scg - /usr/include/scsilib/usal is a symlink used
by cdrkit. It was not removed when the package manager uninstalled
cdrkit. At least I think so, as this does not happen here but maybe with
older versions I don't use.


This is a really bad idea. 


/usr/include/scg/ is a planned directory that is known to be unique.

cdrkit does not deliver anything that is even approximately useful as a 
replacement for libscg.


Installing the includefiles from libscg into /usr/include/scsilib/scg makes them
unusable as there is no software that is aware of this location. It seems that 
the only result is that it makes it harder to install cdrtools instread of 
cdrkit.

Out of curiosity I tried a manual install and /usr/include/scg/ was not 
created at all. The command i used was


./Gmake INS_BASE=/home/billie/cdrtools-test/ install

I know what I would have done - right from the start.  Not used grub-install.  
Not installed it in every single disk.  Not installed it in any partition, 
unless I intended to chainload separately the GRUB bootloader of the said 
partition.  Now, I know that this doesn't help and won't resolve your issue, 
but perhaps next time . . .

I am not sure how GRUB goes about probing and reading boot sectors at boot 
time.  As I understand it at the time it is installed in an MBR, the position 
of the grub fs is also written in there right after the boot code.  At boot 
time the boot code (stage1) jumps to the block device where grub's root fs is 
stored to read and execute stage1.5 which can read the /boot device fs and 
then read the stage2 files, which finally go and load the main OS kernel 
image.  Assuming this is correct, then what you have installed in the MBR of 
hdb and hdd and the partition boot sector of hdd1 is irrelevant and it 
*should not* make grub take so long.

That's the reason why I said something hardware-wise may be amiss, although I 
can see that your checks and reasoning are sound.

I should probably give /boot a clean, but could this be the problem?



According to your grub.conf your default is the top entry, but the 
kernel image for that doesn't exist in your boot partition.


kernel /boot/kernel-2.6.22-r2-2 root=/dev/sda3

should probably be

kernel /boot/kernel-2.6.22-r2 root=/dev/sda3

Thats if 2.6.22-r2 is the kernel your trying to boot.

Hi,

Another thing you can try is tab completion in the grub menu.  Just hit 
the e key twice and let grub help you with what kernels it can see. 


Hope that helps.

This is wierd, I hadn't noticed that, but that's not causing the problem.
I'm running the 2.6.22-r2 kernel now, that's the one that boots, the 2.6.24-r8 
is the one grub can't find.

Re: [gentoo-user] grub boot problem

2008-07-05 Thread Volker Armin Hemmann

one question:

why don't you use 'make install' and have a 'vmlinuz' and 'vmlinuz.old' entry 
in menu.lst/grub.conf?

that solves/prevents lots of errors.
