similar to: help - I think partition magic just clobbered me.

Hello all- I'm very new to the whole idea of booting a machine from a network server, so please go easy on me until I can get my head wrapped around it all. I have a boot image that I want to be able to serve over the wire to client machines. I have a kernel and a file system image that I've put on a USB stick, and it boots fine from there. However, I have something strange happening

I referred to the entry rootfs / rootfs rw 0 0 in the output of "cat /proc/mounts", that is not really very much explicative, due to the setting "auto" in /etc/fstab and to the fact that file system had has_journal flag and no ext3 module was mounted. But I was wrong: I think that if you have an ext3 fs and you mount it as ext2, you continue to see the has_journal flag with

Recently (and for ages, I'm sure) folks have suffered partition destruction and had to try and recover. In the recent thread, the victim eventually had to resort to Google and fond some package that I can not remember now. Well, I was perusing my YumInfo.lst.05, for general info, and I discovered this (potential) little gem. Thought I would pass it on and make it "more googleable"

Hi, I've been using PxeLinux to boot our Debian kernel successfully for some time now. I recently increased the size of the ramdisk from about 484 MBs to 517 MBs and encountered the following error during bootup: --- RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block 0 Freeing initrd memory: 105519k EXT3-fs: Magic mismatch, very weird! cramfs: wrong magic sh-2021: reiserfs_read_super: can not find

Another post-2.5.68 one. The cramfs header defines u8, so we must quiet it down. <b diff -Nru a/utils/fstype.c b/utils/fstype.c --- a/utils/fstype.c Mon Apr 28 15:10:56 2003 +++ b/utils/fstype.c Mon Apr 28 15:10:56 2003 @@ -19,7 +19,9 @@ #include <asm/byteorder.h> #include <linux/romfs_fs.h> +#define __KERNEL__ #include <linux/cramfs_fs.h> +#undef __KERNEL__ #include

Hello, I am trying to run Samba 2.2.8a in an embedded linux system and running into problems with smbpasswd. With both smbd and nmbd processes running fine ( the log files at log level 3 don't show errors), when I try to add a user to the smbpasswd file I get the following error. # smbpasswd -a pbathini New SMB password: Retype new SMB passwd: User pbathini does not exist in system passwd

Hello All, I have been having a very difficult time getting any template to work on xen.

Hi , One of the things I am working on requires me to have a kernel and an initrd (as root filesystem , based on busybox) in one single image. I am trying to use initramfs for this, but there are a few things that I just can't figure out. As a test, I made a cpio archive of my own for the kernel source (plain 2.6.0-test5). Everything gets unpacked just fine during boot. Somehow I was

The attached patch adds support for detecting LUKS partitions (Linux Unified Key Setup - http://luks.endorphin.org/) to fstype.

Greetings! Need your help fellow penguins! Strange behavior with fsck.ext3: how to remove a long orphaned inode list? After copying data over from one old RAID to another new RAID with rsync, the dump command would not complete because of filesystem errors on the new RAID. So I ran fsck.ext3 with the -y option and it would just run in an infinite loop restarting itself and then trying to correct

I have an F7 host that''s running the 2.6.20-2925.11.fc7xen 64-bit kernel on a Dell 2950 using the latest 64-bit Xen packages in F7, 3.1.0-2.f7. I''m trying to install RHEL 5 386 as a guest which I hear is possible. 64-bit RHEL5 isn''t available to use anyway. When I try to paravirtualize the install and only utilize 1 CPU, I always get a kernel oops right before the

HPA, is it possible to add GZ support in syslinux itself? Some standalone software compresses very well, but is not compressed. Example is the Memtest86+ binary (90KB uncompressed --> 35KB gzip'd) and maybe Smart Boot Manager (gzip'd COM32 binary instead of normal COM32 binary?). I'm using both on a simple bootdisk, and all space savings are welcome. a workaround could ofcourse

Hi there, I'm currently trying to install a server with Centos 4.3 x86_64. I have issues installing drivers from a Driver disk, I got a driver(2810SA) from the Adaptec site, I started it up with "linux dd" It reads the disk fine .... I can see the aacraid module in the list but as soon as I choose it. Then I get a screen saying "Do you wish to load more Driver Disks?" I

Hi, Can puppet autosign work by giving vlan IP instead of domain? For example, in the autosign.conf file, instead of using *.mydomain.org, I want to give 172.18.133.* But it does not seem to work if I give the IP address. But I don''t want to limit the client from *.mydomain.org by only allow certain vlan client not all the are in the same domain. Thanks, -Haiyan -- You received this

Hi all, Sorry if this question seems odd. Is it possible to use syslinux to boot from a regular hard disk? I know that's exactly what grub, lilo etc. are doing, but I would really like to utilize the comboot option of syslinux. Are there LBA limitations to such a setup?
