similar to: kinit

I just checked in changes to kinit, such that it is now a single 29KB executable that replaces the kernel's ipconfig and nfsroot code. The kinit code isn't very elegant, but I figured it was better to save space than to fully generalise it so that it could be extended in a sort of modular fashion. If someone wants modularity, I figure they can spend the few extra KB and run the

I just pushed out klibc-1.2.1; it actually has a working kinit. There are still pieces missing, but at least it works for ipconfig+nfsroot, which has been my test configuration. There is code to handle initrd already in kinit, but it hasn't been tested and so is almost certainly broken; I think the code to load a ramdisk from a floppy or other block device is not yet there. -hpa

kinit/nfsmount.c:mount_nfs_root() should use the bootpath specified by bootp/dhcp. If the "nfsroot" option is specified then it overrides the boot server bootpath and a message indicating the override is printed. --- klibc-0.194/kinit/nfsroot.c.orig 2005-01-05 04:13:47.043897880 -0700 +++ klibc-0.194/kinit/nfsroot.c 2005-01-05 04:13:09.316633296 -0700 @@ -66,34 +66,21 @@ const int

Hi, Greg - The latest set of klibc work is all accessible from http://www.speakeasy.org/~bos Here's a brief description of each part. The patches are as independent as possible, and are in BitKeeper format. * ipconfig-2.5.69.patch removes ipconfig from the kernel, and prevents CONFIG_ROOT_NFS from working. * nfsroot-2.5.69.patch removes nfsroot from the kernel. *

Hi, The following set of patches is intended mostly to improve ipconfig and nfsmount compatibility with glibc. The context: I'm working on yaird, an alternative to mkinitrd, and currently implementing nfs root file systems. This is based on ipconfig and nfsmount from klibc, with a rewritten version of kinit. Users should be able to build the package with vanilla glibc, since klibc is not

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 Bryan and other klibc people. I have taken a stamp on the Makefiles for klibc, this is what I came up with. 1) No longer recompile on every invocation 2) Correct checking on dependencies 3) Simpler makefile syntax (almost all over the place) I compile-time tested it only. Two open issues: a) Do we realy use .a files for initramfs. I renemed that to the executable. b) I renamed

Package: klibc-utils Version: 1.5.15-1 Hello! I'm trying to boot Debian from a different nic than the first one. After some digging into klibc and initramfs, it seems like DEVICE=all in /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf is near a solution (I cannot reliable tell, which name the nic has, it may be eth0, eth1, eth2, eth3, ...; as I've machines with one to four nics). /scripts/functions

I'm trying to get nfsroot via kinit to work, and I'm increasingly of the opinion that the ipconfig code unfortunately is in much worse shape than I thought. I've tried to clean it up quite a bit, but it's still rather messy. Anyway, one of the thing that I think is probably broken is the handling of "ip=dhcp" or anything else without a specified interface in the

This patch adds the ability to kinit to allow the dropping of POSIX capabilities. kinit is modified by this change, such that it understands the new kernel command line "drop_capabilities=" that specifies a comma separated list of capability names that should be dropped before switching over to the next init in the boot strap (typically on the root disk). When processing capabilities

This patch removes support for use of NFS as a root filesystem from the kernel. It also updates the documentation to reflect this. b/Documentation/nfsroot.txt | 97 +++--- b/arch/arm/def-configs/a5k | 1 b/arch/arm/def-configs/adi_evb | 1 b/arch/arm/def-configs/adsbitsy | 1 b/arch/arm/def-configs/anakin | 1

hello, Preparing my first klibc maintainenace release. :) My plan is to have the patches cook in klibc-queue and once everythings is fine deploy them in the main klibc repo. Please test/review belows patches. I plan to release the current queue really soon for klibc 1.5.20 due to the urgent ipconfig fixes. For now you find my patch queue on:

hello hpa! added on top of queue ext4 fix, that Ubuntu is carrying from cjwatson. Got missed out in previous pull requests. Btrfs recognition in fstype. the patch queue contains sync with latest dash, sh4 fix by Debian porters, dprintf usage in ipconfig, kinit and nfsmount instead of buggy DEBUG macro. ipconfig memcpy usage to avoid strict aliasing warnings. Some interesting README's got

I just checked in the latest version of my standalone nfsmount program. It works with NFS v2 and v3, UDP and TCP, compiling to 15K on x86. I still need to do some refactoring on ipconfig, nfsmount, and kinit so that they actually work sensibly, which is not quite currently the case. That shouldn't take more than a day, hopefully. By midweek, this should all be in a testable state from an

3-arg faccessat is unfortunately an incomplete implementation. It does not match user-space needs, for example due to wrong answer when egid != gid. dash started to detect klibc faccessat() syscall wrapper.
