| 01:34.01 | essiene | hiya... i'm trying to build an initrd image with busybox (staticaly linked) for a thin client img, its a VIA C3 based box, kernel boots, loads initrd img, but somehow the initrd is never jumped to |
| 01:34.19 | essiene | and linuxrc is never ran |
| 01:34.28 | essiene | almost as if there's no initrd at all... |
| 01:35.01 | essiene | now when i say root=/dev/ram0, everything boots properly upto the point i should see the ash prompt, but nada... it never shows up... |
| 01:35.27 | essiene | my cursor never returns... but the system is not hung... i can reboot with ctrl-alt-del, but i never get the shell |
| 01:35.33 | essiene | is there something i'm missing? |
| 01:36.36 | essiene | these initrds run propery on other i686 systems, so i'm thinking there's something i'm missing? and the debian initrd image loads well on this thin client too... i just don't know what it is i could have missed |
| 01:45.25 | ali1234 | okay, it's obvious, but did you set up /dev properly? |
| 01:53.50 | essiene | yeah i did |
| 01:54.05 | essiene | i have console, null, zero, and a host of hd*, loop, etc |
| 01:54.17 | essiene | or is there any other important ones? |
| 01:55.09 | ali1234 | i think that's all you need... but you should check :) |
| 01:55.15 | essiene | ok |
| 01:55.42 | essiene | you know... it boots ok on other machines... just don't work on the thin client |
| 02:00.08 | *** join/#elinux leoncamel (n=leoncame@219.238.107.107) |
| 02:00.08 | ali1234 | hmm do you have /dev/tty*? |
| 02:01.19 | essiene | hmmmm... i do not.. /dev/tty* and /dev/pts* |
| 02:02.40 | essiene | hmm... ok... lemme create them... its weird tho... this initrd image works on a normal i686 desktop |
| 02:03.11 | ali1234 | that part i don't understand at all... |
| 02:05.04 | essiene | i don't need /dev/ttyS unless i plan on serial connected terminals right? |
| 02:08.44 | ali1234 | right |
| 02:11.58 | essiene | just before i restart... do i really need the /dev/pts* ? |
| 02:12.31 | essiene | since i'm not doing multiple consoles? its just an initrd image to do some funky stuff before doign pivot root. |
| 02:12.49 | ali1234 | i have no idea :) |
| 02:13.06 | ali1234 | btw, are you using buildroot? |
| 02:14.02 | essiene | no |
| 02:14.23 | essiene | just built busybox directly, and wrote a script to build the filesystem |
| 02:15.27 | ali1234 | okay... did you compile busybox with -march=i686? |
| 02:15.46 | essiene | no |
| 02:16.06 | essiene | i specifically made sure i did not |
| 02:16.24 | essiene | since i had to build the kernel for i386 before i could successfully boot it |
| 02:17.59 | essiene | ok... transferring to usb drive... we're off to the testing zone... brb |
| 02:21.48 | essiene | its works!!! |
| 02:21.56 | ali1234 | excellent :) |
| 02:22.02 | essiene | thnx ali1234 |
| 02:22.05 | essiene | i was going crazy... |
| 02:22.13 | essiene | tho i still don't know why it worked on my desktop :( |
| 02:22.20 | essiene | its not supposed to |
| 02:22.44 | ali1234 | i can't explain it at all :S |
| 02:23.22 | essiene | i'll just pretend not to notice that anomally and continue my work :D |
| 02:23.24 | essiene | thnx |
| 02:23.30 | essiene | Fri Jun 2 03:23:28 WAT 2006 |
| 02:23.39 | essiene | up really late :D |
| 02:24.02 | ali1234 | what's WAT? |

| 02:25.37 | essiene | hehe... nice |
| 02:26.12 | essiene | anyways... tmrw is friday... i'm supposed to have a presentation with this thin client distro... after that... i guess i'll get off work early... so no pains |
| 02:27.14 | ali1234 | better double check it works before the presentation eh ;) |
| 02:27.28 | essiene | Murphy's law |
| 02:27.29 | essiene | ;) |
| 02:28.12 | essiene | i'm not closing my eyes before the presentation... you never know which little fairies or elves or orks will come fiddling :D |
