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

Yet another one of those "it would make sense it" posts. Currently, create_dev in do_mounts.c simply unlinks the device and recreates it. This doesn't seem right. If /dev/hda3 has already been created, by some early-userspace app (udev), there's no need to unlink or even parse the name again. Now, when talking about simple block devices, this doesn't make much of a

remove 'NFS-Root' from an error message, and get rid of the old_root check, as it's unused and fails if the target filesystem is mounted 'ro' for no good reason. --- kinit.c 2006-03-21 23:48:15.000000000 -0600 +++ kinit.c 2006-03-22 01:09:39.000000000 -0600 @@ -191,7 +191,7 @@ } } else if (!S_ISDIR(st.st_mode)) { - fprintf(stderr, "NFS-Root:

This patch series allows user-specified mount commands to be sent in via kernel command line ("kinit_mount=...") or via an embedded /etc/fstab file. The first patch is a cleanup of a patch sent last November by San Mehat (http://web.archiveorange.com/archive/v/EazJNBMORV2U7E0coh5h); the next two are small improvements or bug fixes.

Various coding style fixes checkpatch warns about. The goal is not to be 100% checkpatch compliant, but to have more consistent coding style. As this is a trivial patch serie, will land in 24 hours in klibc git, unless of course ml review hits a bugger. Checked with size(3) that the generated kinit, fstype, ipconfig and nfsmount are the same. maximilian attems (4): [klibc] ipconfig: reduce

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

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

This patch adds the ability to mount filesystems via an embedded fstab or via the kernel command line. When using the kernel command-line, the following format is required: 'kinit_mount=<fs_name>;<fs_dir>;<fs_type>;<fs_opts>' Multiple mount options can be specified; they are evaluated in the order they appear in the command-line.

This is happening on anything other than plain vanilla Dell servers. One R730, with dual Tesla cards, one R420, with a fibre card for a RAID device, it never switches root. All these systems have Xeons, not AMD CPUs. We've had this with every one of the 327 kernels. In addition, it seems to happen also with the 229.20.1; the 229.14.1 has no such problem. >From the rdsosreport: starting

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.

kinit/do_mounts.c:name_to_dev_t() has an inverted logic problem and also doesn't return the correct value for "/dev/nfs". --- klibc-0.194/kinit/do_mounts.c.orig 2005-01-05 01:59:29.250868616 -0700 +++ klibc-0.194/kinit/do_mounts.c 2005-01-05 02:34:30.486432256 -0700 @@ -103,7 +103,7 @@ if ( name[0] == '/' && !stat(name, &st) && S_ISBLK(st.st_mode) )

Hi Vinod, Bjorn, Patrice, This patchset adds support for the Flexible Direct Memory Access (FDMA) core found on STi chipsets from STMicroelectronics. The FDMA is a slim core CPU with a dedicated firmware. It is a general purpose DMA controller supporting 16 independent channels and data can be moved from memory to memory or between memory and paced latency critical real time targets. After quite

From: Pino Toscano <ptoscano at redhat.com> Complementary fix of commit 2d25872df3619a3077006ad0f91c029602db6780. On SLES 11 SP4 with kdump enabled mkinitrd calls mkdumprd which calls mkinitrd, but mkdumprd doesn't have any clue of the root device. Call mkinitrd with rootdev environment variable to tell them all what device to use as root. Tested-By: C?dric Bosdonnat <cbosdonnat at
