| BenC | slomo? | 06:31 |
|---|---|---|
| fabbione | hey BenC | 06:31 |
| BenC | hey | 06:31 |
| BenC | did you see the bug where ppc is failing to boot because of unknown root block device (0,0)? | 06:32 |
| fabbione | BenC: expect a couple of updates soon for OCFS2 and RHCluster suite modules | 06:32 |
| BenC | well, my ppc is booting just fine, however, my i386 box is showing the same probelm | 06:32 |
| fabbione | i have no PPC :( | 06:32 |
| BenC | but I think it's initramfs related | 06:32 |
| fabbione | BenC: i guess that's because initramfs is missing modules | 06:33 |
| fabbione | but you can check that easily | 06:33 |
| BenC | I can see my ide is showing up | 06:33 |
| fabbione | compare the modules in the previous working initrd with the one included in the broken initramfs | 06:33 |
| BenC | thing is, I don't have a working one to go by | 06:33 |
| BenC | it never worked on this new box I installed | 06:34 |
| fabbione | you could try installing 2.6.10 from hoary | 06:34 |
| BenC | to tell the truth, this is a debian converted to ubuntu box :) | 06:34 |
| fabbione | to get an initrd | 06:34 |
| fabbione | and see if that one works :) | 06:34 |
| fabbione | hehehe | 06:34 |
| fabbione | yeah i am testing some debian -> ubuntu updates scenarios right now.. | 06:34 |
| BenC | everything boots fine with my 2.4 kernel | 06:34 |
| BenC | and if I boot to single I can mount the root fs just fine | 06:34 |
| fabbione | hmmmm | 06:35 |
| fabbione | i wonder if that'a a hotplug/udev race in creating the devices before mounting root | 06:35 |
| fabbione | you can try this: | 06:35 |
| BenC | is there anything I would need installed that a simple dist-upgrade wouldn't pull in? | 06:35 |
| fabbione | edit /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/functions | 06:35 |
| BenC | udev didn't get installed by default | 06:36 |
| fabbione | BenC: to be sure: apt-get install ubuntu-desktop | 06:36 |
| fabbione | that will pull in everything | 06:36 |
| fabbione | at the of load_modules() | 06:36 |
| fabbione | ide_boot_events | 06:36 |
| fabbione | scsi_boot_events | 06:36 |
| fabbione | try to add a sleep 5 | 06:36 |
| fabbione | to give time to the devices to settle | 06:36 |
| fabbione | and regenearte the initramfs | 06:37 |
| BenC | ok | 06:37 |
| fabbione | it's an attempt.. | 06:37 |
| fabbione | i have seen some of these timing issues in non-common setups | 06:37 |
| fabbione | like /boot on hda | 06:37 |
| fabbione | and / on USB storage | 06:37 |
| BenC | 0 upgraded, 609 newly installed, 5 to remove and 1 not upgraded. | 06:37 |
| fabbione | the latter takes eons to settle | 06:37 |
| fabbione | ehe not too bad :) | 06:37 |
| fabbione | time to upgrade? ;) | 06:38 |
| BenC | don't think I'll be installing ubuntu-desktop :) | 06:38 |
| fabbione | BenC: well you will need to at some point ;) | 06:38 |
| BenC | that's not an upgrade, that's all new :) | 06:38 |
| fabbione | yeah and that can include udev too :) | 06:38 |
| BenC | I installed udev by hand | 06:38 |
| fabbione | hotplug? | 06:39 |
| BenC | yeah | 06:40 |
| BenC | what about ubuntu-{base,minimal,standard} | 06:40 |
| BenC | which should I have for a non-X base system? | 06:41 |
| fabbione | they are a subset of ubuntu-desktop | 06:41 |
| fabbione | uh.. cant' remember | 06:41 |
| BenC | the names aren't very telling | 06:41 |
| BenC | base and minimal would seem to be the same thing | 06:41 |
| fabbione | Description: The Ubuntu standard system | 06:41 |
| fabbione | This package depends on all of the packages in the Ubuntu standard system. | 06:41 |
| fabbione | This set of packages provides a comfortable text-only Unix-like | 06:41 |
| fabbione | environment. | 06:41 |
| BenC | ok | 06:42 |
| BenC | -base is obsolete | 06:42 |
| fabbione | yeah | 06:42 |
| fabbione | i was checking now | 06:42 |
| BenC | ok, I'll install ubuntu-standard and ubuntu-minimal | 06:43 |
| fabbione | the former will pull in the latter | 06:43 |
| fabbione | but i strongly suggest you to get a clean install too somewher | 06:43 |
| fabbione | +w | 06:43 |
| fabbione | +e | 06:43 |
| fabbione | AH COOL | 06:54 |
| fabbione | it seems they fixed the OCFS2 heartbeat problem... | 06:54 |
| fabbione | i will need to test it absolutely tomorrow | 06:54 |
| BenC | that require updating the kernel patch? | 06:54 |
| fabbione | BenC: yes, but i will do it for you | 06:54 |
| fabbione | dont' worry | 06:54 |
| fabbione | it's a few one liners here and there | 06:55 |
| fabbione | nothing too fancy | 06:55 |
| fabbione | but i need to test the fix first | 06:55 |
| fabbione | and today is sunday :) | 06:55 |
| fabbione | so it will be tomorrow as soon as i wake up | 06:55 |
| fabbione | when do you plan to upload the kernel? | 06:56 |
| BenC | was planning first thing in the morning, but it can wait | 06:56 |
| fabbione | BenC: hmm i guess it's still saturday there, isn't it? | 06:56 |
| BenC | sat night | 06:57 |
| BenC | oh, I mean first thing monday | 06:57 |
| fabbione | if so, remember that when you need to bump the ABI like this upload, you need to have at least elmo or mdz or kamion around | 06:57 |
| fabbione | otherwise the deb will not pass the NEW ;) | 06:57 |
| BenC | I'll email mdz and elmo tonight to let them know | 06:57 |
| fabbione | ok that's perfect | 06:58 |
| fabbione | keep Kamion in CC too. | 06:58 |
| fabbione | since he is the one that should do d-i | 06:58 |
| BenC | errors I get from the initramfs now are failure to mount "/root/dev on /dev/.static/dev" | 06:58 |
| fabbione | but given that he will be back tomorrow after 15 days of honeymoon, i doubt he will get to that :) | 06:58 |
| BenC | and then failure to "mount /dev on /root/dev" | 06:58 |
| BenC | ok | 06:59 |
| fabbione | that's clearly udev problems | 06:59 |
| BenC | any directories I need to create that might not be there by default on the rootfs? | 06:59 |
| fabbione | afaik udev takes care of creating them for you | 06:59 |
| fabbione | so no.. | 07:00 |
| fabbione | once you install udev, it's a good idea to reboot, but i guess you have done that already | 07:00 |
| BenC | I can see one problem, and that's that devfs is getting mounted | 07:10 |
| BenC | it shouldn't should it? | 07:10 |
| BenC | oh wait, that's another kernel | 07:12 |
| fabbione | hmm no | 07:50 |
| fabbione | devfs is not required at all in ubuntu | 07:50 |
| fabbione | YAY | 08:06 |
| fabbione | ocfs2 crash seems to be fixed in 1.1.2 | 08:06 |
