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

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

Last patch for now. This gets gen_init_cpio into a state where it can pick up a "kinit" binary from usr and stuff it into the cpio archive as /sbin/init. This is obviously a crock, but it suffices for testing until something sane is done about integrating klibc into the kernel tree. The patch also adds a bit of instrumentation to initramfs.c, to try to help flush out bug 740.

git mv resume.c resumelib.c and the addition of a minimal resume.c, which calls resume() from resumelib produces a small standalone resume. happy to hear feedback on the needed kinit/Kbuild changes. resulting resume bin is small: ls -l /usr/lib/klibc/bin/resume -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2904 2006-07-11 02:11 /usr/lib/klibc/bin/resume it reduces busybox dependency of Debian initramfs-tools: if [ -e

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

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, I've got another one... NFS error 101 with NFSROOT has been discussed a lot, and hpa gave an answer to it which appears right. It's ENETUNREACH, and I suspect my diskless box does not set its IP parameters right. PXElinux is set up as follows: label linvdr kernel kernel-linvdr append initrd=initrd-linvdr acpi=off root=/dev/nfs \

The in-kernel nfsroot code is obsoleted by kinit. Remove it; it causes conflicts. Signed-off-by: H.

I''m trying to build a linux/xen kernel that will run with an NFS root, with out much luck. I''ve edited src/xen-3.0.2-2/linux-2.6.16-xen/.config to include CONFIG_NFS_FS=y (was =m) CONFIG_ROOT_NFS=y (wasn''t there) after running "make kclean" and make "kernels" CONFIG_ROOT_NFS is gone (though the edit to CONFIG_NFS_FS remains): # # Network File

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

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.

Building on the work in ff0a614bd724f6c4c6a5014a9955dc1bc028f336, this moves the capability code down into the run-init library, so that run-init can use it as well, via the new "-d" flag.

Looking at do_mounts.c, it does not seem to support the "major:minor" syntax exported in 'newer' sysfs (according to linux-2.6.15.6/init). The following is untested, but might work nicely... I will fully test this when I get home later today. PS, I also added some error output when it fails to parse the device number, just for kicks. As I said, I can't test this, so feel

Enough small fixes have pilled up to make it worth a release: A Google patch adds sched_setaffinity, sched_getaffinity support. Openembedded uses kexec_load(). Gentoo folks add a Kbuild fix. ipconfig no longer wild guesses a nameserver when none is provided by the DHCP server. strndup() and unlinkat() saw fixes for various problems. codingstyle cleanup in kinit and tools. git repository:

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

Hello all, I have observed a problem with a diskless PXE client I am attempting to configure. PXE/NFS/DHCP/TFTPd server is running CentOS5.1 and the Diskless workstation's root and kernel was extracted from a CentOS5.1 (custom kernel due to setting to enable Root File System support). Problem: When the diskless client boots and logs in I notice that my root user is being squashed, even if I
