First thing to notice is that I cut down the olpc-init patch a lot. The third section of the original patch was for a file that doesn't exist (and wasn't renamed as far as I can tell, I've greped a fair amount for its content). So I originally had left the first part in, but the image created with it gave the following error when init was first called: init: Unhandled Error: Address already in use Now, with just the pid snarfing part in main.c, Upstart seems to hang without giving any messages. None of the other Fedora patches have been applied (it seems as if the devel branch of upstart in Fedora CVS is a work in progress, to say the least), so unless anyone here has insight, getting them to apply seems like the next logical step. I can make my non-booting rawhide image available if anyone is interested. What I did was to run 'sudo make' on the puritan rawhide branch, wait for it to finish, chroot into $(CHROOT)/versions/pristine/767 and run 'rpm -Uvh http://dev.laptop.org/~bobbyp/upstart/upstart-0.5.0-1.fc11.i386.rpm', delete r/wrap*, then rerun 'sudo make'. Someone with more knowledge of sockets, upstart and Fedora's patches to it, and the init process might have better luck or be able to help me out :) If we can figure this out, I would be glad to help get as much of this as possible upstreamed (as well as into the F11 upstart package). yours, Bobby (I'll be out of town till Tuesday, so I probably won't be able to work on this again 'till then) ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel

I've ported the patch to upstart's bzr trunk (it applies cleanly to 0.5.0), and scratch-built some rpms: https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=1106475 The patch is here, along with the srpm and spec file: http://dev.laptop.org/~bobbyp/upstart/ Of note, I had to add dbus-devel to BuildRequries, as upstart seems now to need it.

Two small corrections: a) the initramfs continues happily under active volunteer development -- it received two new features and a bugfix contributed by a deployment support volunteer (dsd) in the last two weeks, along with patch review and volunteer testing by folks back here in the States. b) While pilgrim may be a dead-end, the ideas underlying it are not. This week, I translated pilgrim's ideas into the simplest form yet achieved, namely, a plain old Makefile: http://dev.laptop.org/git?p=users/mstone/puritan;a=tree;hb=make and used it to produce builds from the olpc4+joyride tree and the rawhide+olpc4+joyride tree (with minor edits). The former booted happily into Sugar and built on both Debian and Fedora. :) (The latter, still using the olpc initramfs, dies because upstart 0.5 still doesn't know how to run as non-pid-1. olpc4's upstart-0.3.9 has a patch which implements this feature.) > > Peter does not have an XO (g...@contrib program extreme slowness!) > > but may be able to help on other issues that surface as the result > > of an available public build... > >Oh, let's fix that.

Peter's suggestion is to use pilgrim to create rawhide builds, hence using the olpc initramfs. If we are still facing problems beyond Friday, this may be a good thing to do in the interim.

He promises to have a look at OLPC specifically on Friday. Excellent news. In the mean time, even with boot issues, there's nothing wrong with getting a rawhide based stream in progress so that various other issues that will undoubtedly show up so that when the boot problem is fixed we're already on the ground and can start running.

You could use the device name also: root=/dev/mtd0 Have a look at the mkliveinitrd part of mkinitrd at: http://git.fedoraproject.org/git/?p=mkinitrd;a=blob;f=mkliveinitrd;hb=24d6d9779ca5bacc0c649e9d783263661ceb81f0 Without the /dev part the init script will not have anything to match the root= against, in the "case $root in" part of the init file, resulting in the udev rules not getting created for the /dev/root symlink.
