similar to: klibc-1.2.1: kinit works...

I'm still pondering with kbuild and klibc. Next in line was to get ipconfig support in the kernel (build wise). A little challenge that is bigger than anticipated was to create a shared executable. This required a far bigger rewrite of Kbuild.klibc than originally planned. The good part is that I now managed to treat linking of objects with single and multiple .o files almost the same.

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

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

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

This patchset applies to klibc mainline. This patchset introduces the ability to kinit to execute scripts or executable files present in in the initramfs before switching over to the root filesystem. It is implemented by first implementing scandir() and alphasort() as present in POSIX.1-2008 in klibc itself, and then using that as the basis for iterating and executing files via a run_scripts()

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

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 all. Proposal for directory structure in the kernel: usr/include <= _all_ include files usr/include/{net,sys,..} usr/include/arch/$(ARCH) <= arch specific include files *1 usr/klibc <= klibc files usr/klibc/arch/$(ARCH) <= arch specific config and files except include files usr/kinit <= program integrated in the kernel usr/kinit/nfsmount <= used by kinit,

As some people have requested, here is klibc as a historyless patchset against 2.6.17. The patchset consists of two parts: changes to the main kernel code taken straight from the git history (as it is rather few patches), and additions, grouped by rough divisions. The majority of the patches are independent in the sense that they should apply independently, but Makefile/Kbuild files may have to

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

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

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 fixes a long standing issue where it was not possible to do "make usr/klibc/arch/x86_64/longjmp.o" in the kernel. The principle is that all .o files to be part of klibc are listed with klib-y. For each directory a klib.list file is made that specify all .o file and the final AR then adds all .o files to create libc.a. This patch introduce the infrastructure and converts x86_64 to
