Hi, [debbootstrap triggering a kernel bug on Personal DECstations]
>We had tried to find the program triggering the bug by putting some >debug output into programs called from inittab and it seems that it >is the last step in initab (dbootstrap, the "real" installer program), >that causes the kernel to hang. You could try filling it with debug >output to find the exact point where the crash occurs. That sounds like a lot of time to invest. I hope to do that on the weekend, though. >It is btw. a real crash - if you boot with init=/bin/sh, configure the >network and manually single-step through inittab, you can see that >pinging the box works, but in the moment you start dbootstrap, there >are no replies to pings anymore, so the kernel is really dead at that >point of time. Yuck. I hate those kind of errors. >The boot-floppies cvs tree (including dbootstrap) is available by > >cvs -d :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/debian-boot co boot-floppies Doesn't seem to like me: arbas:/spare/ut/mips-cvs> cvs -d pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/debian-boot co boot-floppies cvs.debian.org: Connection refused cvs [checkout aborted]: end of file from server (consult above messages if any) arbas:/spare/ut/mips-cvs> cvs --version Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.10.7 (client/server) Shouldn't be too old, so what's wrong?
