| 05:08.31 | RobotGuy | On boot up, I am getting a "length error" on the ramdisk. What exactly is this telling me? |
| 05:28.54 | RobotGuy | I mean, what parameter do I have wrong? In APEX? Kernel? |

| 06:04.27 | landley | RobotGuy: sounds like the gunzip step isn't working. |
| 06:04.46 | landley | Possibly the gunzip header says it would decompress to be larger than the physical memory reserved for it? |
| 06:04.58 | landley | Grep the kernel source for the string "length error". :) |
| 06:05.03 | landley | Especially under init... |
| 06:06.40 | RobotGuy | landley: I have my ramdisk size in the kernel set to 8 MB, and my uncompressed initrd is only 7.7 MB |
| 06:08.01 | landley | RobotGuy: dunno. |
| 06:08.23 | RobotGuy | I think it's the ramdisk size in the APEX config Platform Settings, but I don't remember what it has to be set to. |
| 06:08.43 | landley | Is "length error" the exact message? |
| 06:08.54 | RobotGuy | landley: Yes. |
| 06:19.16 | RobotGuy | landley: http://www.pastebin.ca/895979 |
| 06:23.50 | landley | Comes from lib/inflate.c looks like. |
| 06:24.42 | landley | The length in the header didn't match the decompressed length. |
| 06:28.49 | landley | Looks like bytes_out is a global in do_mounts_rd.c that gets updated in flush_window(). |
| 06:28.58 | landley | Stick in a printk to show the value each time that's updated, I guess? |
| 06:29.12 | landley | And print it just before the comparison to see what the actual values _are_... |
| 06:31.47 | RobotGuy | You mean in the kernel source? |
| 06:33.29 | landley | Yup. |
| 06:43.43 | RobotGuy | I think your solution is too complex. There has to be an easier answer. I know Dave knows, but he is not available now. |
| 06:46.24 | landley | Stick printfs into the code! |
| 06:46.31 | landley | That's my solution to lots of stuff. :) |
| 06:47.07 | RobotGuy | When I get this fixed this time, it goes on the Wiki. ;) |
| 06:47.20 | landley | See what the code's actually doing. |
| 06:47.48 | RobotGuy | There is a parameter I do not have set correctly. |
| 06:48.03 | RobotGuy | I think it is in APEX Platform Settings |
| 06:49.14 | landley | ok |
| 06:49.53 | RobotGuy | I guess I will have to wait until tomorrow and ask prpplague. |
| 06:50.24 | landley | I'm not reproducing the problem here. |
| 06:50.26 | RobotGuy | I obviously do not understand all the parameters that are involved and how they interact well enough. |
| 06:50.41 | RobotGuy | You don't have my kernel config. |
| 06:50.49 | RobotGuy | And APEX config. |
| 06:50.49 | landley | I've never seen it do that. |
| 06:51.00 | RobotGuy | I've seen it many times, unfortunately. |
| 06:51.02 | landley | The crc always dies first, not the length. |
| 06:53.40 | landley | That sort of implies it's something in do_mounts_rd.c, but I dunno what. |
| 07:12.58 | RobotGuy | I also don't have /mnt/flash |
