similar to: Remote testing of klibc

In case people here don't follow the udev mailing list, udev seems to be quasi-dropping klibc support. Well, see the forwarded message below. As I don't agree with the "omg udev is complex! use glibc!" rationale, I want klibc and udev to remain working with each other.... Assuming some minor breakage in the near future, is klibc open to accepting patches for "basic C

Just curious if anyone has done anything similar, as I'd rather not reporduce work. I'm going to put alias handling (and only alias handling) into a modified version of insmod. The reason I'm doing this is to aid in boot time module loading via aliases exposed in sysfs. Sure, I could include modprobe directly in the initramfs, but it's a bit large, and I really only need alias

I have just pushed out a git tree which actually has the root-mounting code removed from the kernel. Since there are any number of strange boot configurations out there, I would really appreciate any help in testing this stuff out. I have *NOT* implemented support for the following, which I'm hoping has fallen out of use by now: -> Setting boot flags via rdev, as opposed to on the

Hey all, bug report time. I started tracking this down, but am at a bit of a loss for time, so I figured I'd report over this list to see if anyone else has the time to fix this or at least find the error. When calling nfsmount on it's own, say "nfsmount 1.2.3.4:/home/nfs /root" it works just fine, however, when calling nfsmount_main from within kinit (via nfsroot=), things get

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

It's been surprisingly difficult to set up a remote display between two CentOS boxes, one headless running v.5.9 and the other a new laptop running v.7.2. Since the one machine is headless, it should be obvious which is to display the desktop of the other. The two machines are on the same local network, yet there is iptables running on both of them. But it's not a big deal for me to

Hi Arjen, I've just read the FAQ and got to the question: "Q: How can I make upsmon shut down my system after some fixed interval?" Well it looked like the question was there for me. :-) You say: Ask yourself this: why buy a nice big UPS with the matching battery and corresponding runtime and then shutdown early? If anything, I'd rather have a few more minutes running on

I'm not sure when exactly this started, but currently when I specify a ramfs image via the initrd line in grub, kinit picks it up as an initrd and tries (and fails) to unpack it and run linuxrc from it. I'm assuming this is not the intended behavior. Can anyone point me into the proper direction for unpacking an initramfs image ontop of the in-kernel image? Currently, I am using kernel

I'm just curious. The older klibc tarballs had a syslinux dir used to build a syslinux image with klibc. While I haven't used it, I was planning on messing with it at some point in the future. However, the syslinux stuff was removed from recent klibc images. Is there a technical reson for this, or would is still be acceptable to use the old Makefiles from that dir to build syslinux?

I''m using acts_as_taggable_on and I want to get a list of unique taggings. How can I do this? In a more general sense, say that I have a Product model with attributes name and price. I have these: id: 1 Name: Juice Price: 5 id: 2 Name: Juice Price: 5 So when I do a Product.find(:all) I''ll get both, but I only want one. How can I do this so that no matter now many

As the title suggests, udev no longer compiles under klibc versions > 1.3.5 It may partially be udev's fault, however, certain symbols, such as SOCK_DGRAM, are no longer visible when compiling under klcc, which is causing this issue. A simple check of the linux/net.h header shows some ARCH_HAS_SOCKET_TYPES define, which is not set internally by udev's source. Where would be the most

Hi, Here's a try at writing an initramfs HOWTO. This is basically a write-up of a number of interesting emails I collected over time.
