Well, as of right now, both Linus and Andrew have rejected klibc in the kernel based on "it doesn't add anything new" (Linus) and "lack of interest" (Andrew). It seems that there is little hope of getting it into the kernel any time soon, unless there is additional features, and/or people start actively asking for it. I would appreciate hearing suggestions. The

Hello what is the difference between busybox and klibc? Say, I want to use an initramfs in order to mount root over nfs, I can choose to use klibc with ipconfig and nfsmount? But I can also choose to use busybox with ifconfig and mount. So what's the difference, and why and in which case one is preferable to the other? If it's a FAQ, I'm sorry, just give me the link Thanks

Hello all, We are trying to make our own NFSroot via PXELINUX without the e1000 ethernet module compiled into the kernel. All works fine, we have a ramdisk that can setup networking from information provided by $ip, however I would like to download the specific e1000.o via tftp before inserting it into to the kernel. Since ramdisks are static I rather not have the situation where we have to

Hi, I've been messing around with the early userspace for the last couple days. What are the goals of early userspace? Is the end goal to use it as an initrd replacement or is it simply to do all the mounting (nfsroot, initrd, hard disk) that is currently done in init/do_mounts*? thanks mh -- Martin Hicks Wild Open Source Inc. mort@wildopensource.com 613-266-2296

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

I just recently posted a patch to the linux-kernel mailing list to move rootfs/initramfs from ramfs to tmpfs. Now I'd like to test this out better. Currently I'm only using initramfs to store data so I'm new the this klibc thing. Tommorrow I'm going to try to get klibc working to run some programs in early-userspace. From what I've read so far, i'll need a swapon

Hi, I am a newbie into kernel booting process. I have read few things about boot process of the linux kernel. I am stuck at few things, which I am confident, someone from the list might help on - - If I pass a ramfs image as an intrd paramter from the bootloader (say grub), then will the kernel treat this as a ramfs image only? - initrd image is also, packed using cpio archive, then

Subject of Hint: How to create a Bootable Live CD/DVD from your Linux From Scratch (LFS) build Good day from Singapore, I am Mr. Turritopsis Dohrnii Teo En Ming, based in Singapore.

I applied your patch, but no success. What bothers me is that connection gets reseted. By the way, i'm using systemd, with process started in forking mode and as daemon. Could this cause any problems? This is my libvirtd.conf, if it helps anything: unix_sock_group = "libvirtd" unix_sock_rw_perms = "0770" auth_unix_ro = "none" auth_unix_rw = "none" Can

The "/bin/sh" utility is provided by busybox as well (via the usual symlinking). Per POSIX, if execvp(file, { argv[0], argv[1], ..., NULL })

Hi , I am doing some tests with klibc 1.1.16. I would like to have my root file system on an nfs export , but the /etc folder it to be mounted from a different nfs export. I am using 2.6.15.1 with initrd ramdisk initramfs nfsroot etc compiled in. My pxelinux.cfg looks like this: default opteron label opteron kernel gentoo/vmlinuz-opteron append initrd=gentoo/initramfs.img ip=dhcp

Hi, I am trying to build busybox for the centos-5.3,but facing issues in installing the busybox executable into the centos filesystem. Is it possible to build a busybox for a server platform (x86) with centos.

So, today, I'm using kinit from our initramfs to handle early boot up sequence. Our init is actually a shell script that does a some setup stuff (plugging values into appropriate proc files mostly), and the script currently passes on to kinit by finishing with "exec /kinit "$@"". I have a situation now though, where due to some ubuntu weirdness, I seem to need to do
