Re: [yoper-dev] Current Blacksand installer

2006-06-29 Thread Dion
In regard to XFS, I just tried a reinstall and selected the ext3 file 
system.

This yielded no change in the error.

The system still boots and then complains as follows.
"kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: unable to mount root fs on 
unknown-lock(8,1)"


Okay, I am wondering if using XFS is somehow a problem. I can try ext3 
and see if I get

similar behaviour.
If no one has any good ideas, I will try mounting the install cd and 
building a custom kernel

with built in scsi support.

Cheers.
Dion.

Re: [yoper-dev] Current Blacksand installer

Hi Tobias,

Some small progress. Please see the inline comments.

Hi Dion,

When the installation cd does boot you should be able to use Yoper on
your system. It is using exactly the same kernel.

To build an initrd image via yaird from the live cd into an existing
system you have to do the following :

1) mount your root partition :

'mount /dev/sda1 /media/sda1' (make sure the only mount option is rw)
In my last post, I couldn't get yaird to produce an image. I failed to 
add a -rw to the above mount.

Doing this enabled me to create an initrd image.

2) copy your device node files from the live cd into the new root file 
system


'cp -a /dev/hd* /dev/sd* /media/sda1/dev'

3) chroot into the new installation

'chroot /media/sda1'

4) mount the kernel file systems

'mount /proc' , 'mount /sys'

5) try to rebuild the image with yaird

yaird -o /boot/initrd.whatever


I created the new image with a -v switch and was able to see the
symbios 53c875 module included in the image. I had to use the
-f cpio option as the -f cramfs appears to be for older kernels and
would not work.


Make sure the installation of the bootloader does really work properly.

I adjusted the lilo.conf and rerun lilo.

I received some complaints.

"proc/partitions does not match /dev"
"name change '/dev/loop0' -> '/dev/loop0'

They were spelled identically, so I'm guessing something within
that location got a name chage.


regards and good luck


Thanks, I wasn't lucky enough.

The system still boots and then complains as follows.
"kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: unable to mount root fs on 
unknown-lock(8,1)"


Okay, I am wondering if using XFS is somehow a problem. I can try ext3 
and see if I get

similar behaviour.

The next option I was considering was mounting the blacksand install cd 
and copying the
kernel source and the kernel config file to my 2.1.0_4 system and 
building a kernel with
symbios 53c875 and relevant scsi disc support into the kernel. If that 
fixes the problem at

least we would know the scope of the problem I am having.

I wonder if other people with sata and or other scsic ontrollers and the 
like are likely to
experience this problem? This may be something for the installer to 
handle, perhaps
by offering the user the option of selecting kernel drivers to be 
included in the initrd image?


I appreciate your help.

Cheers.
D.
