Hello Charles,
The biggest help at this point would be for others to test the new linuxrc, make sure it works for them, and think about any other features that might need to be added to linuxrc or leaf.cfg.I tried the new linuxrc, but it doesn't work for me....
Errors: ....... LINUXRC: Mounting a 6M TMPFS filesystem... cd: can't cd to /tmpfs mkdir: Cannot create directory 'initrd': No space left on device pivot_root: pivot_root: No such file or directory chmod: /var/lock: No such file or directory chmod: /tmp: No such file or directory /linuxrc: Cannot create /var/lib/lrpkgpath.disks: filesystem full Kernel panic: Attempted to kill init!
The contents of syslinux.cfg (1.44 Mb floppy):
display syslinux.dpy
timeout 0 default linux initrd=initrd.lrp init=/linuxrc rw root=/dev/ram0 LEAFCFG=/dev/fd0:msdos PKGPATH=/dev/fd0 LRP=root,config,etc,local,modules,iptables,dhcpcd,shorwall,ulogd,dnsca
che,dropbear
Nothing defined in leaf.cfg.
Also tried with LRP and PKGPATH defined in leaf.cfg and removed from syslinux.cfg with the same errors.
Same with syst_size and log_size defined in leaf.cfg (because I think the tmpfs isn't created), but without luck too..
Very odd. Is this with Bering or Bering-uClibc? How big is your initial ramdisk? It looks like the initial ramdisk might be filling up prior to getting the new tmpfs root created and running pivot_root (possibly because I'm creating the devices directory prior to mounting root...maybe /dev should be temporarily mounted on a /tmpfs?).
Can you send me the kernel and initrd you're starting with (or point me to URL's)? I suspect something basic is wrong with the initial ramdisk, or my re-ordering broke in Bering version(s) other than what I was testing with (bering-1.2).
You might also try setting VERBOSE=1 in leaf.cfg and see if you get any more useful information.
