Hi all,

 Thanks Michael.
 Updating aboot to 1.0pre20040408-2 fixed the issue on
 both my xp1000 and my 164sx.
 
 I believe this bug can be closed unless Kohda-san
 still experiences some issues.

I'm afraid I don't have enough time to do the fix at present
but I don't object to close this bug.

If there will remain any issue with me I'll reopen this
or file another bug report.

Gabriele (or anyone else), it will help me much if you 
teach me the practical fix you did.
Is it correct to understand
1) install a new aboot
2) swriteboot /dev/sda bootlx (or an appropriate device name)

Thanks for your help.

Regards,2008-4-30(Wed)

 it's very easy if you have the cable and just use screen and
 console=ttyS0 otherwise there are very cheap usb to serial adapters
 or you could use netconsole if that's more appealing to you.

I understand you need output from serial console
but I'm afraid it is not so easy as you think.

I search enough infomation by googling etc. and
if I can get bootlog, I'll report it here but
I'm certain it will not happen in near future.

In bug #473877, it seems I need to fiddle with swriteboot
to boot with 2.6.24 (sigh).

 hmm could i see a bootlog of that box?
 with aboves initramfs or any other 2.6.22 generated with initramfs-tools
 any alpha box should have a serial console. I'm currently fishing in
 the dark without the bootlog.

Sorry but I've never tried serial console and
I'm afraid it is too much for me to do that 
at present.

 that is at the very top of the boot, what happens if you pass
 as boot arg break=top, do you land in initramfs shell?
 also try to add rootdelay=9 or such.

Not yet.  I'll try it later if possible.

 ok can you put them up somewhere, so that i can take a look
 if they look sane, before further debugging, also i'd need the output of
 sh -x mkinitramfs -o /tmp/foo

I put all initrd.img-* and the output of mkinitramfs in
http://www1.pm.tokushima-u.ac.jp/~kohda/alpha/

Thanks for your kind advices.

Bug#474670: initramfs-tools: [alpha] boot failure with linux-image-2.6.22-3-alpha-generic

2008-04-07 Thread Atsuhito KOHDA
Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.91e
Severity: important

Hi, I encountered the following boot failure on my alpha machine.
When linux-image-2.6.22-3-alpha-generic came into testing,
my system failed to boot with the initrd.img generated by initramfs-tools
but it still booted with the initrd.img generated by yaird so
I suspect this is a bug of initramfs-tools.

However, linux-image-2.6.24-alpha-generic failed to boot with
initrd.img generated both initramfs-tools and yaird.

The messages when it failed to boot were as follows:

RAMDISK driver initialized: 16 RAM disks of 8192K size 1024 blocksize

and it stopped there.

initrd.img-2.6.22-3-alpha-generic.yaird is what I backed up for 
later use if necessary.

initrd.img-2.6.22-3-alpha-generic is what initramfs-tools geneted
this morning. I booted with 2.6.22-2 and generated initrd.img
with a command dpkg-reconfigure linux-image-2.6.22-3-alpha-generic
after setting up /etc/kernel-img.conf for initramfs-tools.

Regards.

 Something is wrong in this output. If I read the aboot code correctly,
 there should be a message about bss cleaning and initrd loading. It
 looks like aboot themself dies here.

Hmm, I'm not sure but, at least, there is no message
refering to loading initrd.  It looks boot failed before
reaching to that stage.

I intend to provide any necessary info but don't know 
how can I get more info.

Thanks for your follow up.
