Hi Jaroslaw, I've tried the new root image together with the sparse tool and it works great! :-) Here my feedback: There are still some missing modules: char-major-21, char-major-10-135, block-major-2 Also it would be usefull, if you include the packages kbd and redhat-config-keyboard. I could not get dhcp to work. But maybe this could not work with bridged TAP? If I use redhat-config-network to change network settings, they made in the wrong file (/etc/sysconfig/networking/ifcfg-eth0). It must be changed in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0).

Hello, is htere support for more than 1 NIX inside Colinux? i would possibly need more than 1 NIC support (up to 3, maybe 4). one of my machine has 2 NICs, one of the nix is essentially not configuured, but hooked to a "monitor port" on the switch next to it. i've been toying wit colinux to do things like running the linux version of Snort, and potentially othernetwork tools. I see there is a "network number" in the XML config file, is the suport for it there? (i've tried to set it up, but it didn't appear to work) Let me know... Thanks, Jok --- Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool... oo ,(..)\ ~~ |

I liked the idea of having sparse image files so much that I created a tool for decompressing *.bz2 and making the result sparse at the same time: http://jaak.sav.net/colinux/sparsify.exe (source is here: http://jaak.sav.net/colinux/sparsify.cpp) Usage: bzip2 -cd image_file.bz2 | sparsify.exe image_file It will print "#" for each non-zero chunk and "." for each all-zero chunk. BTW. CoLinux works like a charm with these sparse files! BTW2. Bzipping with "sparsify.exe" is actually faster than normal because fewer disk blocks get written to the disk. BTW3. Untested with really large images (over 4GB) but should be fine.

More complicated way (which I prefer) 1. Create an empty file (2GB )under Linux (using dd) 2. Mount it using "mount -o loop" under an empty directory 3. Copy files that make up a linux distro there (I personally use "rpm" = and "apt-get" for this so that dependencies are handled properly, with = simple distributions like "slackware" you can be successful using just "tar") 4. Umount the partition 5. Voila! As a finishing touch I remove some things to make the download MUCH = smaller: /lib/modules/2.4.*.nptl (original Fedora kernel - not very useful under coLinux) /boot/* /usr/share/locale/* /usr/share/i18n/locales/* /usr/share/i18n/charmaps/* /usr/lib/locale/* /var/state/apt/lists/*base* I'm sending the script that I use to generate fedora_root image. It was = made using trial-and-error method but in general it works. You should be able = to use it on RHEL with minor modifications. Note that it uses my home = machine as a RPM repository, so that I don't have to download RPMs from the internet. BTW. BE VERY CAREFUL when running the script.

I thought about it but at the same time I wanted GNOME to be usable with the default image. Unfortunately you need >512 MB image for this.

Hello, Co linux is great-:) I tried to build colinux under cygwin 1.5.9 and got the following with the driver.o undefined references __imp_MmAllocatePagesForMdl@28 undefined references __imp_MmMapIoSpace@16 undefined references __imp_KeQueryPerformanceCounter@4 the KeQueryPerformanceCounter is totaly disappeared from the cygwin libhal.a in 1.5.9. I found the symbol in an 1.5.7 libhal but i think this is only an short term fix. The __imp_MmAllocatePagesForMdl@28 isn't found. Only __imp_MmAllocatePagesForMdl@16 symbol exists but it didn't matched. The __imp_MmMapIoSpace@16 only exists as __imp_MmMapIoSpace@12. So i can't link the drive.o either and have no real idea how to fix. Any clues? regards meno |

Hmm, the question may must be, how can it be unbzipped and sparsed at the same time? Correct? Up to yesterday I do not fully understand sparse files, but now. I can not answer the above question.

Hi Jaroslaw, can you make the image as an sparse image per default? It would be usefull, because I don't have enough space and configured the image from 9. of April as I need. -- Regards, Mathias > -----Original Message----- > From: col...@li... > [mailto:col...@li...] On Behalf > Of Jaroslaw Kowalski > Sent: Sunday, April 18, 2004 8:51 PM > To: col...@li... > Subject: [coLinux-devel] Minimal Fedora Root > > > Hi! > > Has anyone of you actually installed 'fedora core 1' that I posted > yesterday?

Hi! Has anyone of you actually installed 'fedora core 1' that I posted yesterday? (my logs say that 22 people have downloaded it since then) I'm very intersted in hearing your opinion or at least learning if it worked for anyone beside me. If it works, I'd like to ask Dan to upload it to sourceforge because serving it myself, takes a considerable amout of bandwidth. Jarek |

Simple way: 1. Create a physical partition (2 GB or similar) 2. Install your distribution there 3. mknod the cobdX devices 4. Modify /etc/fstab (or not) 5. Switch to windows or another linux (you can also try to remount the root filesystem readonly) 6. DD the partition to a file 7. Voila! More complicated way (which I prefer) 1. Create an empty file (2GB )under Linux (using dd) 2. Mount it using "mount -o loop" under an empty directory 3. Copy files that make up a linux distro there (I personally use "rpm" and "apt-get" for this so that dependencies are handled properly, with simple distributions like "slackware" you can be successful using just "tar") 4. Umount the partition 5. Voila! As a finishing touch I remove some things to make the download MUCH smaller: /lib/modules/2.4.*.nptl (original Fedora kernel - not very useful under coLinux) /boot/* /usr/share/locale/* /usr/share/i18n/locales/* /usr/share/i18n/charmaps/* /usr/lib/locale/* /var/state/apt/lists/*base* I'm sending the script that I use to generate fedora_root image. It was made using trial-and-error method but in general it works. You should be able to use it on RHEL with minor modifications. Note that it uses my home machine as a RPM repository, so that I don't have to download RPMs from the internet. BTW. BE VERY CAREFUL when running the script. Error detection is not done very well. I once removed my whole partition because of this...

after eliminating a mistake i made when trying to use raw partitions i
have it now partitioned and formatted with ext3
when trying reiserfs, i get this:
reiserfs_create: can not create that small (0 blocks) filesystem
while as ext3 it mounts nicely after being formatted:
/dev/cobd3 14G 33M 13G 1% /mnt
im using the binary snapshot, i still havent built one from scratch
this disk is a external firewire disk
mke2fs -j /dev/cobd3 shows this:
mke2fs 1.34 (25-Jul-2003)
Filesystem label=
OS type: Linux
Block size=4096 (log=2)
Fragment size=4096 (log=2)
1771904 inodes, 3540324 blocks
177016 blocks (5.00%) reserved for the super user
First data block=0
109 block groups
32768 blocks per group, 32768 fragments per group
16256 inodes per group
Superblock backups stored on blocks:
32768, 98304, 163840, 229376, 294912, 819200, 884736, 1605632,
2654208
Writing inode tables: done
Creating journal (8192 blocks): done
Writing superblocks and filesystem accounting information: done
This filesystem will be automatically checked every 22 mounts or
180 days, whichever comes first. Use tune2fs -c or -i to override.
ran smooth
any idea why i still can't use reiserfs with the 4/17 snapshot?
thanks in advance
morfic

I will try it out on a dual Xeon XP Pro box with HT (looks like 4 procs) and
let you know how it works.
I have updated the snapshot with one addition:
* The daemon process is pinned to the first processor until
we get the SMP stability issue fixed.
With this change it runs without any problem on my HT machine (Linux as
host, though).

So far I've had 100% success after about 30 VM cycles (start/reboot) without hanging. Seems like the workaround is pretty stable. I'm still having a problem inside Gentoo where the gcc process gets killed every time I try to emerge something, but I don't know if it's related. Also haven't yet tried to start an xdm (or any dm) so I don't know if things will still hard lock. Richard |

I have been getting this message from my colinux kernel when running fedora core 1. I was getting many of these messages until I turned on the enhanced RTC option ( CONFIG_RTC=3Dm ). However, when I turned on = this option, I had to delete /dev/rtc or fedora core 1 would hang on startup. ( I believe it was the kudzu process that hung ).=20 =20 Is this the correct way to handle this? Should I have CONFIG_RTC turned on? Is there something else I need to do to completely eliminate these messages?=20 =20 Dan =20 |
