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

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

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

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

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

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

From: Geert Stappers <stappers at debian.org> To make klibc-ipconfig transmit the DHCP vendor class "d-i" and get the DHCP preseeding filename in a text file, it needs the attached patch. belows patch allows ipconfig to be used in Debian installer once the hostname is sent too, see http://blog.andrew.net.au/2006/05/17#d-i_dhcp_hacking Signed-off-by: maximilian attems <maks at

Hi, Here are two fixes for ipconfig/dhcp, the second of them being required for my dhcp3 server to accept ipconfig's requests.

klibcs ipconfig tries to guess the nameserver if no nameserver is provided. This may happen due to misconfigured dhcp or the use of the ip= parameter. This patch removes the guessing from ipconfig as it is not possible for any other script to determine if the provided nameserver is valid or a guessed one. If the old behavior is really needed this could be easily implemented in an external script.

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:

Hi, I had the problem that 'ipconfig' as DHCP client in Debian-squeeze could not get DHCP Offer reply from the built-in DHCP server of the cheap route that I have. The name of the router is 'MegaBitGear TE4571E' which I got at contract of ADSL Internet access service in 2009. The router is not too old and can reply to other DHCP clients like ISC-dhclient, WindowsXP and Vista.

Hi, it seems that ipconfig has a problem if multiple devices are up and connected to the same network. It seems that it uses the wrong socket/device index to compare it to incoming packet. To be more precise, the packet gets discarded in do_pkt_recv as the ifindex from state differs always from the incoming packet To reproduce create two tap devices: $ sudo tunctl -u uli -t tap0

When attempting to boot a system using Infiniband interfaces, ipconfig does not recognize Infiniband NICs as having valid MAC addresses, so they are silently ignored. As I would like to be able to netboot using Infiniband, I have patched ipconfig to support Infiniband interfaces. Fortunately, it's a pretty simple and straightforward patch. Below is the patch for your consideration. ---

Hi, ipconfig is used in ltsp (thin clients) initramfs. Some of the users have to have 2 dhcp servers in ltsp environments, so they hit on this problem: The first dhcp request is from the pxe rom boot code. This code ignores any dhcp offers that don't have a filename field. So they always get the correct address, from the ltsp server. The second dhcp request (in initramfs) is done by

Hello, if ipconfig is run as ipconfig :::::: (i.e. long spec with all fields empty) and the computer has multiple network interfaces and only one of them is connected to dhcp managed network, ipconfig ends up in an infinite loop (see the log bellow). The following patch solved this for me. According to README, if the <device> in the long spec is empty, the first interface should be
