Re: [RedSleeve-Users] RSEL6 build for pogo not working

[Gordan Bobic]

I'm going to hazard a guess that the problem is related to the
initramfs you are using. In the output you originally provided I
see this:

 [   25.453390] systemd-journald[44]: Received SIGTERM

which implies systemd, and that the initramfs was built for
a systemd distribution. Try it without the initramfs - that
should work as long as ext4 and the usb disk driver is
built into the kernel. If they are not, you'll have to
build a suitable initramfs for your kernel that loads the
required drivers before mounting and switching to the rootfs.

NO help.  Below is evidence of "eth0":

Regarding getting a serial getty running with systemd, this
may be helpful:

http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/serial-console.html

I did not do this, as my understanding is that RSEL6 does not use
systemd and this is kernel independent.

And the ttyS0.conf did not make any improvements.  No additional
output or input accepted on the serial console.

:(

As a quick bodge, you could try putting:
systemctl start serial-getty@ttyS0.service
in /etc/rc.local
Not sure if that will work, but it's worth a shot.
Failing that you could put "ifconfig -a" into rc.local
and see what that prints out to the console. At least
you'll get the interface name to configure so you
can try to ssh in.

Regarding fsck saying the partition is mounted, you need to pass
"ro" command line option to the kernel at boot time. The rootfs is
not expected to be mounted rw before init mounts it rw.

I looked around in the /boot directory and could not find where the
kernel command line lives these days (F18).

If I had to guess, your machine is in fact fully booted. If you
configure /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-${devicename}
(where ${devicename} is whatever your NIC shows up as) appropriately
to make it come up at boot time and have sshd running, you will
probably find you can ssh in. Basically you aren't getting gettys
to start up on the serial port.

I don't think so.  I created ifcfg-eth0:

DEVICE="eth0"
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
ONBOOT="yes"
TYPE="Ethernet"
NAME="System eth0"
MTU=1500
HOSTNAME="nevia.htt-consult.com"

I checked my dhcp server, and no leases. This system is currently the

only one on my test subnet, so I would see a lease...

If someone has the files I need to build a usb drive for a kirkwood
board, I would try it.  I used the F18 kernel because that is what
Fedora provides for kirkwood boards:

I took a USB stick that booted f18 and made:

while logged in as root. I moved these files to my notebook, and then redid the / partition with:

mke2fs -t ext4 -L rootfs /dev/sdb3

The assumption being this would replace the rootfs partition with a new one. I then built this new partition with:

tar -C /run/media/rgm/rootfs/ -Jxvf /home/rgm/arm/RSEL/rsel6-rootfs-gui-20130927-1.tar.xz tar -C /run/media/rgm/rootfs/lib/modules -Jxvf /home/rgm/arm/RSEL/f18-modules.tar.xz tar -C /run/media/rgm/rootfs/lib/firmware -Jxvf /home/rgm/arm/RSEL/f18-firmware.tar.xz

And booted. But the /etc/fstab was not right. So I pulled the usb drive and edited the fstab with:

/dev/sda3  /               ext4    defaults,noatime 0 0
/dev/sda2    swap        swap    defaults,noatime    0 0
/dev/sda1    /boot            defaults,noatime    0 0

hmmm. Left out the ext2 for /boot, but that did not seem to be a problem. It was sda3 with the problems:

and it hung here.

So what is wrong with how I built my rootfs partition or what may be left on this usb drive from before giving me problems?
