| 23:01.48 | grey_gandalf | hi fellow users |
| 23:02.09 | grey_gandalf | months passed, but I still cannot use 3.0 kernel and initrd images on my iBook... |
| 23:02.19 | grey_gandalf | I start to worry! |
| 23:07.50 | simonlnu | works on a blue&white g3. actually, the 3.1.x series is working out better than 3.0.x |
| 23:08.06 | simonlnu | so you might consider getting a 3.1 from backports |
| 23:11.46 | grey_gandalf | let's see what I am installing now |
| 23:12.07 | grey_gandalf | I already have 3.1.0 |
| 23:12.36 | grey_gandalf | it boots partially, but never mounts root as it doesn't recognize it. As if the hd driver as missing or something |
| 23:13.00 | simonlnu | sounds like it |
| 23:15.36 | grey_gandalf | ventually drops into initramfs |
| 23:15.51 | simonlnu | might want "most" in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules |
| 23:15.59 | simonlnu | or the .conf |
| 23:16.07 | grey_gandalf | it is doing so with all kernels I tried since 3.0 |
| 23:16.08 | simonlnu | (whichever one it is) |
| 23:16.19 | grey_gandalf | sorry? |
| 23:16.47 | simonlnu | MODULES=most |
| 23:16.54 | simonlnu | /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf |
| 23:17.24 | grey_gandalf | do you think a modue doesn't get packaged in? |
| 23:17.39 | simonlnu | sounds like it |
| 23:18.05 | grey_gandalf | let me finish updating packages with aptitude and check it |
| 23:18.36 | *** join/#debianppc silvertip257 (~silvertip@unaffiliated/silvertip257) |
| 23:19.02 | simonlnu | update-initramfs -k all -u afterwards |
| 23:19.32 | simonlnu | after you check/edit the file |
| 23:19.52 | grey_gandalf | MODULES=most is already set in /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf |
| 23:19.56 | simonlnu | ok |
| 23:20.07 | simonlnu | run it anyway. won't hurt |
| 23:20.23 | simonlnu | before you do that, check file size of the initrd |
| 23:20.29 | simonlnu | and compare |
| 23:21.05 | simonlnu | you might also want to add some modules to the modules file in the same directory |
| 23:21.18 | simonlnu | same format as /etc/modules |
| 23:21.25 | simonlnu | (one per line) |
| 23:21.25 | grey_gandalf | perhaps atitude update is already , so comparing sizes |
| 23:21.40 | grey_gandalf | well, maybe I can know which module I need from the 2.9 kernel? |
| 23:21.47 | simonlnu | dpkg updating it will say so |
| 23:21.53 | simonlnu | for sure |
| 23:22.45 | grey_gandalf | let me telnet into it |
| 23:23.31 | grey_gandalf | [ 3.041439] ide-pmac: Found Apple KeyLargo ATA-4 controller (macio), bus ID 2, irq 19 |
| 23:23.34 | grey_gandalf | that one? |
| 23:25.10 | simonlnu | yes, and possibly one that's named with pata- lemme check |
| 23:25.44 | grey_gandalf | under 2.9 I don't see it under lsmod |
| 23:25.55 | grey_gandalf | perhaps it was mot a module back then? |
| 23:27.17 | simonlnu | ok, just that one |
| 23:27.26 | grey_gandalf | pata ? |
| 23:27.31 | simonlnu | no, ide-pmac |
| 23:27.35 | simonlnu | brb |

| 23:44.23 | grey_gandalf | the image gets bigger, that means it gets included |
| 23:44.26 | grey_gandalf | but it did not help |
| 23:44.35 | grey_gandalf | actually, the hard disk gets detected, I see when it lists the partitions |
| 23:44.44 | grey_gandalf | but it doesn't mount root |
| 23:46.53 | grey_gandalf | oho... it says module ide-pmac not found in moduiles.dep |
| 23:49.02 | simonlnu | hmm |
| 23:51.38 | simonlnu | add the rootfs's filesystem type |
| 23:54.19 | grey_gandalf | ext3 :) |
| 23:54.24 | grey_gandalf | should be standard I hope ?? |
| 23:54.50 | grey_gandalf | or my modules.dep is bad? |
| 23:55.54 | simonlnu | sure. you can check the initrd with cd /somewhere/safe; zcat /boot/initrd.img-$(uname -r) | cpio -i; and look at the contents |
| 23:56.21 | simonlnu | for that sort of thing i just mkdir /initrd and do it there. seems like the right place ^_^ |
| 23:56.37 | simonlnu | (there used to be an /initrd/) |
| 23:56.57 | grey_gandalf | let me boot 2.9 and inspect the dmesg |
| 23:58.18 | grey_gandalf | in dmesg I don't see the same messages I get on the console, I am sure that 2.9 also complains about ide-pmac (since with -k all I regeneated all images) but still works |
| 23:58.31 | grey_gandalf | I wanted to check the next messages to see what could be missing |
| 23:58.45 | simonlnu | ok. i'd compare the initrds for each one |
| 23:59.08 | simonlnu | and also the config (/boot/config-*) |
| 23:59.43 | grey_gandalf | let's do the config check, sounds easy |
| 23:59.43 | simonlnu | and file a bug if you find a difference that matters :D |
| 23:59.45 | grey_gandalf | hmm, diff lists a lot of differences |
