ISO image device driver gripes
by samwyse 31 Dec '11

31 Dec '11

This past week, I've installed Crux on my laptop about two dozen times. Well, not really my laptop, it's a virtual machine running on my laptop. And it's not because anything's wrong, but because I'm trying to create a minimal installation. (Read about it at http://crux.nu/Wiki/VMwarePlayer) Along the way, I've had to deal with a few nagging issues. Not really problems, I'm sure everything is working as designed, I'm just not particularly happy with a few details. I've listed those grips on the wiki, but I'll repeat them here to save you time. The first one is a small matter. The Crux installation image doesn't contain a floppy driver. I'm a lazy programmer. If I have to do something more than once, I try to automate with a script. Since I've redone my installation so many times, I've written some scripts to automate the process, which I'm keeping on a USB thumb drive. However, it's a bit inconvenient. VMware allows you to use a floppy image as a virtual floppy disk, just like you'd use an ISO file as a CD-ROM, except you can write to it. The good thing about this is that I can keep the floppy image in the same directory as the rest of my VM. That means that if I revisit my project in a year or so, I don't have to worry about which thumb drive I was using way back when. The second gripe is a bit larger. There are no network drivers loaded on the installation image. This means that I can't install contributed ports without a reboot of my VM off the virtual disk. To that end, I've added a runonce process to /etc/rc.local. It scans an /etc/runonce.d directory for executable files, runs them (duh!), and moves them into a success or failure subdirectory. But it would be nice (and faster) if could do everything while I was running from the ISO. Thanks.

ports/opt (2.7): [notify] maradns: update to 1.4.08

commit d4d0716b84b903f36b5ab19c3afde5bbef2fbb76 Author: Juergen Daubert <jue(a)jue.li> Date: Fri Dec 30 17:26:26 2011 +0100 [notify] maradns: update to 1.4.08 Security fix, see http://www.samiam.org/blog/20111229.html Note: I no longer use maradns but a combo of dnsmasq [1] and unbound [2] instead, so it might happen that I'll drop the port. Dnsmasq is a easy to configure authoritative DNS server with additional DHCP server and unbound a DNSSEC aware recursive, caching resolver. Highly recommended.

Questions about pkgmk
by samwyse 22 Dec '11

22 Dec '11

I've built crux without any optional packages and am now trying to add several contributed packages and am figuring out which of the opt packages I need. Running with the -r option, adds every Pkgfile found below the current directory, which seems fairly useless. I see two choices. First is to have a small wrapper script, like this: cd /etc/ports for PORT in \ opt/libxml2 contrib/lighttpd \ opt/php \ opt/libjpeg opt/libpng opt/libgd opt/freetype contrib/php-gd do cd ${PORT}; pkgmk -d -i; cd ../.. done The other idea (admittedly more SVR4-like) is to create a directory tree of the pkgs I want to install, perhaps with symlinks back tot he /usr/ports directories. This suffers from the fact that pkgmk -r doesn't seem to follow directory symlinks, so I'd have to create the tree with use lndir, assuming crux had lndir by default. :( I've also tried enhancing the above script to scan each Pkgfile for a "Depends on" line and installing those packages first, but I've discovered that the line is usually missing or inaccurate. :( BTW, the good news for the community is that I'm doing this in VMware Player, and am updating a wiki page as I go. The page is http://crux.nu/Wiki/VMwarePlayer , and it is referenced by http://crux.nu/Wiki/CruxOnVMs, which I created following the style of the Crux on Laptops page.

I had the same problem just this morning. The "correct" solution is to run "ports -u opt". I ran it from the /usr/ports directory, I don't know if that's a requirement.

Kernel sometimes takes four or five resets to boot successfully
by Sean Whitton 05 Dec '11

05 Dec '11

Hello, Running CRUX dual-booted with Windows 7 on two machines. On one everything is fine. On the other, when I turn the machine on for the first time in a day OR when I’ve just been in Windows and am switching back OR a few other random times, it takes me four or five pushes of the reset button to get it to boot. I get part of the startup output and then just after the lines: umount: /sys: device is busy. (In some cases useful info about processes that use the device is found by lsof(8) or fuser(1)) mount: sysfs already mounted or /sys busy … I get a massive spam of output, here is the part that doesn’t scroll off: [ 3.614147] [<c1273b6a>] ? ata_pio_sector+0x10a/0x140 [ 3.614147] [<c1273bff>] ? ata_pio_sectors+0x5f/0x90 [ 3.614147] [<c1273eba>] ? ata_sff_hsm_move+0x18a/0x790 [ 3.614147] [<c11babbd>] ? elv_queue_empty+0x1d/0x30 [ 3.614147] [<c11bd868>] ? __blk_run_queue+0x18/0x130 [ 3.614147] [<c11bda30>] ? blk_run_queue+0x20/0x40 [ 3.614147] [<c124ea92>] ? scsi_run_queue+0xv2/0x310 [ 3.614147] [<c1274696>] ? __ata_sff_port_intr+0xa6/0x100 [ 3.614147] [<c12734e0>] ? ata_bmdma_error_handler+0x0/0x110 [ 3.614147] [<c127471d>] ? ata_bmdma_port_intr_0x2d/0x110 [ 3.614147] [<c124e014>] ? scsi_decide_disposition+0x194/0x1a0 [ 3.614147] [<c12734e0>] ? ata_bmdma_error_handler+0x0/0x110 [ 3.614147] [<c12749b5>] ? ata_bmdma_interrupt+0x1b5/0x200 [ 3.614147] [<c107c8bd>] ? handle_IRQ_event+0x2d/0xc0 [ 3.614147] [<c107f6f1>] ? move_native_irq+0x11/0x50 [ 3.614147] [<c107ea03>] ? handle_edge_irq+0xa3/0x130 [ 3.614147] [<c1028ba5>] ? handle_irq+0x15/0x20 [ 3.614147] [<c1028887>] ? do_IRQ+0x47/0xc0 [ 3.614147] [<c103bd63>] ? smp_apic_timer_interrupt+0x53/0x90 [ 3.614147] [<c1026cb0>] ? common_interrupt+0x30/0x38 [ 3.614147] [<c102ca92>] ? mwait_idle+0x42/0x60 [ 3.614147] [<c1025225>] ? cpu_idle+0x85/0xb0 [ 3.614147] [<c15f06ed>] ? start_kernel+0x2c2/0x2c8 [ 3.614147] [<c15f019b>] ? unknown_bootoption+0x0/0x18f If anyone knows the way in which I have mis-compiled my kernel, I would love to know.

I downloaded the ISO, created a VM, and followed the directions in the handbook to install. For some crazy reason, I decided to give JFS a try as my root file system. Unfortunately, my disk won't boot. I can boot from the ISO and mount the disk just fine, but the VM's Phoenix BIOS skips over the disk and goes straight to PXE. >>>> > >>>> > >>>> > Here's my lilo.conf: >>>> > # >>>> > # /etc/lilo.conf: lilo(8) configuration, see lilo.conf(5) >>>> > # >>>> > >>>> > lba32 >>>> > install=text >>>> > boot=/dev/sda >>>> > image=/boot/vmlinuz >>>> > label=CRUX >>>> > root=/dev/sda1 >>>> > read-only >>>> > append="quiet" >>>> > >>>> > # End of file >>>> > >>>> > >>>> > Here's my fstab: >>>> > # >>>> > # /etc/fstab: static file system information >>>> > # >>>> > # <file system> <dir> <type> <options> <dump> <pass> >>>> > >>>> > /dev/sda1 / jfs defaults 1 1 >>>> > #/dev/#SWAP# swap swap defaults 0 0 >>>> > #/dev/cdrom /cdrom iso9660 ro,user,noauto,unhide 0 0 >>>> > #/dev/dvd /dvd udf ro,user,noauto,unhide 0 0 >>>> > #/dev/floppy/0 /floppy vfat user,noauto,unhide 0 0 >>>> > devpts /dev/pts devpts defaults 0 0 >>>> > none /sys sysfs defaults 0 0 >>>> > none /proc proc defaults 0 0 >>>> > #tmp /tmp tmpfs defaults 0 0 >>>> > #shm /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 >>>> > #usb /proc/bus/usb usbfs defaults 0 0 >>>> > >>>> > # End of file >>>> > >>>> > _______________________________________________ >>>> > CRUX mailing list >>>> > CRUX(a)lists.crux.nu >>>> > http://lists.crux.nu/mailman/listinfo/crux >>> >>> >> > > > _______________________________________________ > CRUX mailing list > CRUX(a)lists.crux.nu > http://lists.crux.nu/mailman/listinfo/crux >
