Package: initrd-netboot-tools
Version: 0.5.3cvs.20040906-16
Severity: minor
Tags: patch
Hello,
today I've spend some hours on tracking some weird error messages if
busybox is enabled in /etc/mkinitrd/mkinitrd.conf:
cp: cannot create regular file
`/tmp/mkinitrd.82xcVX/initrd//usr/bin/cut': No such file or directory
cp: cannot create regular file
`/tmp/mkinitrd.82xcVX/initrd//sbin/ifconfig': No such file or directory
cp: cannot create regular file `/tmp/mkinitrd.82xcVX/initrd//bin/grep':
No such file or directory
cp: cannot create regular file
`/tmp/mkinitrd.82xcVX/initrd//usr/bin/head': No such file or directory
cp: cannot create regular file
`/tmp/mkinitrd.82xcVX/initrd//bin/hostname': No such file or directory
cp: cannot create regular file
`/tmp/mkinitrd.82xcVX/initrd//usr/bin/tr': No such file or directory
cp: cannot create regular file
`/tmp/mkinitrd.82xcVX/initrd//sbin/route': No such file or directory
I discovered that these messages are not really an error (the built
initrd is just fine). The error is caused by already existing symlinks
to busybox which isn't in the place (/bin2/busybox) the symlink points
to during build of the initrd.
I attached a patch for /etc/mkinitrd/scripts/netboot (appliable to the
netboot script of initrd-netboot-tools 0.5.3cvs.20040906-16) which lets
the netboot script detect those cases and print out a notice instead of
copying and failing. If you think that this notice might confuse other
users just skip the else clause in the added code. :-)
Yours
Micha

initrd-netboot doesn't work with current 2.6 kernels anymore, so we've
removed the package.
