| 02:45.12 | Grackle | How do I choose a ramdisk size? |
| 02:45.20 | wcstok | why are you using a ramdisk |
| 02:45.44 | Grackle | This one got pissed at me because it did an 'incomplete write' and I'm assuming that's because it's too small. |
| 02:45.51 | Grackle | I am using a ramdisk because quik failed. |
| 02:45.58 | wcstok | fix quik =P |
| 02:46.01 | Grackle | And I want to try to get bootx to work. |
| 02:46.16 | wcstok | you shouldnt need a ramdisk to boot a normal kernel from bootx |
| 02:46.29 | wcstok | as long as the kernel supports your root fs you're golden |
| 02:46.38 | Grackle | Well it doesn't seem to. |
| 02:46.40 | Grackle | Hmm. |
| 02:46.48 | wcstok | are you using ext3 again |
| 02:46.51 | Grackle | no |
| 02:46.53 | Grackle | ext2 |
| 02:47.04 | Grackle | because that's all quik support |
| 02:47.05 | Grackle | s |
| 02:47.14 | wcstok | and what's it doing, panicking when trying to mount the root fs? |
| 02:47.21 | Grackle | It's on a SCSI device though. |
| 02:47.22 | Grackle | yeah |
| 02:47.33 | wcstok | got scsi support compiled in? |
| 02:47.36 | Grackle | This is on my powercomputing box |
| 02:48.11 | Grackle | Probably not, I can't get my kernel off the HD (yes, that problem again). |
| 02:48.24 | wcstok | sheesh |
| 02:48.29 | Grackle | I will do the whole chroot thing again I guess. |
| 02:48.30 | wcstok | what did quik do |
| 02:48.42 | Grackle | It failed to install. |
| 02:48.50 | wcstok | you've had more problems with this than anyone...should try netbsd =P |
| 02:48.56 | wcstok | now there's a real bitchy system to boot |
| 02:48.59 | Grackle | Bah netbsd. |
| 02:49.14 | Grackle | I tried netbsd on this box, it was HELL(er than this). |
| 02:49.34 | wcstok | well yeah, thats netbsd =P |
| 02:49.57 | wcstok | even after you get it all installed, it requires manual intervention to boot on this one |
| 02:50.04 | wcstok | stupid openfirmware |
| 02:50.14 | Grackle | :\ |
| 02:50.14 | wcstok | "open" my ass |
| 02:50.25 | Grackle | haha, indeed |
| 02:51.45 | wcstok | is the hd being shared with macos? |
| 02:51.57 | Grackle | no |
| 02:52.10 | Grackle | macos is on a different HD |
| 02:52.16 | wcstok | oi |
| 02:52.34 | wcstok | have you tried the installer without that hd plugged in? |
| 02:52.52 | Grackle | 160MB macos HD, 2.2GB debian HD |
| 02:52.59 | wcstok | without the macos hd that is |
| 02:53.04 | Grackle | I did the first time and it worked... |
| 02:53.07 | wcstok | well... |
| 02:53.10 | Grackle | :P |
| 02:53.47 | Grackle | But that HD wasn't even mounted... Shouldn't have been anyway... |
| 02:53.58 | wcstok | if it was plugged in, it's detectable |
| 02:54.02 | Grackle | bah |
| 02:54.23 | wcstok | but hell, I have no idea how quik does dual booting (from what I've read, not very well) |
| 02:55.06 | Grackle | yeah |
| 02:55.18 | Grackle | Well I don't really need macos on it, it was just convenient to have it on that drive. |

| 19:40.01 | pahartik | ^bob: use "disktype" to see what is on it? |
| 19:43.31 | ^bob | pahartik: what is disktype? i don't find it. |
| 19:45.28 | pahartik | ^bob: nice utility |
| 19:48.24 | ^bob | pahartik: just read the package desc. not installed, but i already know the partition. its ext3 journaled, on sda2. works fine after boot, but during boot fsck fails and prompts me to go into single user. ctrl-d continues, and when i get a shell i can mount it. |
| 19:49.28 | ^bob | perhaps i just need to indroduce a delay between the time the device is atached and the filesystem tries to be mounted? |
| 19:51.02 | pahartik | ^bob: give it "noauto" option on "/etc/fstab"? |
| 19:52.10 | Grackle | I keep getting the error "ofpath: Driver aic7xxx is not supported" when I try to install quik. :| |
| 19:54.16 | ^bob | pahartik: yeah, i already did that. i'm setting this up as a web server, and to make sure apache2 comes up at boot it needs this to be mounted. |
| 19:55.58 | ^bob | pahartik: i guess as a workaround i will just mount it in my apache startup script. |
| 19:56.26 | pahartik | ^bob: make sure "sbp2" gets loaded between mounting "/" and mounting everything else |
| 19:58.59 | pahartik | ^bob: one could also use crontab entry like "@reboot sleep 16 ; <mount filesystem> ; sleep 8 ; <start apache>" |
| 19:59.44 | ^bob | pahartik: yep, it does. sbp2 then attaches to the disk, reports the vendor id and all |
| 20:00.32 | ^bob | pahartik: apache starts up much later in the boot sequence, i'll just have it sleep, mount the fs, and then start |
| 20:00.53 | ^bob | pahartik: just kinda ugly, tho |
| 20:01.21 | ^bob | pahartik: don't people boot from firewire in ppc? this would be a much bigger problem in that case. |
