The following bugs have been filed against the appropriate kernel-image.
98589: sun4u
98591: powerpc-chrp
98592: powerpc-prep
98593: mac (m68k)
98595: atari (m68k)
98596: amiga (m68k)

I didn't find kernel-images for mips at http.us, but I did find them at 
ftp.rfc822.org. Both mips and mipsel are missing CONFIG_FILTER=y. Should
I just put a note on their list?

I didn't find kernel-images for ia64 or hppa, perhaps due to the status
of the ports. Should I put a note on their lists or just wait until they
are further along?

Thanks,

Stephen

I'm working on the .config for hppa, and I have CONFIG_FILTER=y.

I don't think this is a real issue at all...

  We also need to verify that other archs have the necessary configs.

Yes -- this is the case I'm seeing now.   I don't see
/lib/modules/misc on the root disk, but it should be.

This should in fact work. Something is broken.  I'm researching
rootdisk.sh now.

 CONFIG_PACKET=y CONFIG_FILTER=n
 
 sun4u
 powerpc-chrp
 
 CONFIG_PACKET=m CONFIG_FILTER=n
 powerpc-prep

Please file serious bugs against these kernels.
They need CONFIG_FILTER.

 I guest that leaves alpha and m68k. So much for consistency. 
 Revert to pump on all/certain platforms? Change the kernels? 
 What's the best course?

Change the kernels so they all have CONFIG_FILTER and at least a
module for CONFIG_PACKET, and fix rootdisk.sh.

Bug#98439: dhcp support broken

2001-05-22 Thread David Whedon

Package: boot-floppies
Version: N/A; reported 2001-05-22
Severity: grave

The the replacement of pump with dhcp-client has broken dhcp support on 
boot-floppies.

I checked the kernel configs for kernel-image-2.2.19-i386 and they are 
already:

CONFIG_PACKET=m
CONFIG_FILTER=y

We need to make sure af_packet.o is included on the root filesystem and do a 
modprobe af_packet.o before trying to do dhcp.  We also need to create 
/var/dhcp.

We also need to verify that other archs have the necessary configs.


This is the message form Mike Stone that further describes the dhcp problem:

I tried the floppies with the 5/18 date from http.us, didn't get very
far. Unformatted ramblings follow.
   
I used the compact floppy set. The top-level floppies didn't have the
3c59x driver compiled in, and I wanted to avoid burning 3 driver
floppies.
   
The install process asked me for the driver floppy anyway. ISTR that the
potato install asks whether you want to bother with it.
   
DHCP config failed completely. First, dhclient seemed to be looking for
/var/dhcp so it could write dhclient.leases. I created that directory,
then it returned various errors:

  expr: not found
  [: 2: unexpected operator
  socket: Address family not supported by protocol
  Make sure to set CONFIG_PACKET=y and CONFIG_FILTER=y in your kernel config

I'm batting 1000 -- nothing like ojt.

I got these errors too, but everything worked fine (acquired address
consistently).
