similar to: [PATCH] export retained initrd in debugfs

Looks like x86_64 never quite handled initrd''s. This brings x86_64 in line with i386 in that it doesn''t check LOADER_TYPE (which will be zero anyway). Now initrd is working fine for me on x86_64.

Commit 1c66b360fe262 (Change some lock status member in ocfs2_lock_res to char.) states that these fields need to be signed due to comparision to -1, but only changed the type from unsigned char to char. However, it is a compiler option if char is a signed or unsigned type. Change these fields to signed char so the code will work with all compilers. Signed-off-by: Milton Miller <miltonm at

I've been having an exchange of e-mails with Bryan O'Sullivan regarding this problem. I thought it time to bring it to the list. I've run into a problem where my initramfs archives get this during bootup: checking if image is initramfs...it isn't (ungzip failed); looks like an initrd The same .cpio archive works if I don't gzip it. I stuck a bunch of debug statements into

Hello, is there a way to extract an initramfs from a running kernel? and from a kernel lying on a disk? If yes, how? Thanks Eurolines : Voyagez au meilleur prix : http://www.alinto.com/pub/

Samba mount (from one of our build scripts). We decided to upgrade to RedHat 7.2 (which uses a newer version of Samba -- 2.1.1b IIRC), maybe that fixes the problem. However, I decided to submit this bug report, in the hope that it may help kill some bugs. (Remember -- the only good bug, is a dead bug :)) So, here is the dmesg output: Linux version 2.2.16-22enterprise

According to "initramfs buffer format -- third draft" http://lwn.net/2002/0117/a/initramfs-buffer-format.php3 "the cpio "TRAILER!!!" entry (cpio end-of-archive) is optional, but is not ignored" The kernel handling does not follow this spec. If you add null padding after an uncompressed cpio without TRAILER!!! the kernel complains "no cpio magic". In a

Well, with this simple patch I'm able to load initrd from a different disk. It's not finished, it's just to ask you if I'm going in the right direction... I have also some suggestion/question: - many boot sector I saw use [bp+xx] addressing to gain some bytes. Why don't you use such method? - had syslinux been tested with usb floppy? You test dl however using usb floppy dl ==

Hello, I would like to know if initrd is here to stay, now that klibc and initramfs are ready. As the multipath-tools maintainer, I'm facing the choice to 1) put the multipath configuration tool in the initrd * dynamic binary is possible * storage hba drivers as modules loaded * no klibc limitations (no mntent for libsysfs ...) 2) put the multipath configuration tool in the initramfs *

Trying to use klcc to compile an application I was getting gcc: no input files. Tracked it down to filename2lang having and extra space, causing .S files to be labeled "obj".

I would really like a little clarification for the error in the Subject. 1. If it says "update retained" and I'm doing an --inplace sync, does that mean it did copy over the blocks it found during the initial pass? In other words, can I assume the synced version on the receiving end looks just like the source at the time it was first scanned for changes? I hope so. 2. If #1 is

Hey Kevin! Once you start dropping under (I think) 32kbps, the codec naturally starts losing stereo separation for the benefit of quality. If you really want perfect stereo at 16kbps CBR (this is horrifically low in my opinion) you might be better off splitting the audio and encoding each part at 8kbps CBR. Or, there may be a magic "enforce 100% stereo" one could pass? (doesn't look

Hi there! On a daily backup script, I am getting a lot of these messages: WARNING: <filename> -- update retained (will try again). I've tried googling, but i can't figure out what these messages exactly mean and how i can solve them. Any hint?
