[coLinux-devel] 0.5.3pre2: klog, dpkg utils errored while configed

[Ballard J. <sac...@ho...>]

Before I hunt down the issue any further, I'll posted the messages I =
received when I tried to run dselect configuration.   When I selected =
the configure option, a random appearance of an error occurred.  Seems =
like it happened within the perl utilities.

__alloc_pages: 0-order allocation failed (gfp=3D0x1d2/0)
VM: killing process $PROCNAME

such that $PROCNAME is an element of { su, http, mandb, dpkg, =
dpkg-preconfigu, klogd }

My attempt to configure the system with 0.5.3pre2 worked better than the =
0.5.2 version, as I did not get all the configuration screens with =
0.5.2.   I do not remember such messages as the __alloc_pages.

Further, I untarred and cvs'ed the colinux and linux sources without =
problems.  I compiled binutils, yet that did not finish because it could =
not find the "no" utility. =20

Jonathan,

I belive from what I have discussed with Dan that that is a standard "out of
memory" condition. Have you setup swap space?

I created an extra block device, cobd1.  I put a 256MB swapfile on cobd1.

colinux:/etc# cat fstab
/dev/cobd0 / ext2 defaults 0 1
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/cobd1 /mnt/cobd1 ext2 defaults 0 2
/mnt/cobd1/swapfile none swap defaults 0 0

I ran dselect again, and I have not seen any kernel complaints.

When I compiled binutils before, I noticed it did not handle situations when
some utilities where not available.  Specifically, it did not handle no
"msgfmt" or no "flex" well.  After I added the swapfile, dselect noticed
that "gettext" was downloaded but not installed.  That explains why the "no"
utility not found message appeared.

Seems like I need a generic cobd0 and a cobd1 that can quickly resetup
cobd0.  The coLinux projects sure does make reinstalls much much easier.

[coLinux-devel] 0.5.3pre2: dselect, mmap [ was: klog, dpkg, alloc_pages error ]

[Ballard J. <sac...@ho...>]

I added 256MB of a swapfile.  After I added more entries to the
/etc/apt/sources.list, dselect complained about MMap.

---

Reading Package Lists... Error!
E: Dynamic MMap ran out of room
E: Error occured while processing doc-rfc-3000-3999 (NewVersion1)
E: Problem with MergeList
/var/lib/apt/lists/http.us.debian.org_debian_dists_testing_non-free_binary-i
386_Packages
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.

update available list script returned error exit status 1.

---

I did not find any kernel message displayed about the issue.
Here is my /etc/apt/sources.list:

----


deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free
deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian testing main contrib non-free
deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free

---

I guess I can shorten the list for now.

[Richard G. <ric...@ri...>]

Can you have all three sources at once? stable, testing, and unstable? Won't
your packages get all out of sync if you try to mix releases?

I'm not super familiar with Debian so excuse me if I'm wrong :-)

[Ballard J. <sac...@ho...>]

After I read an article,
http://www.mayin.org/ajayshah/COMPUTING/debian-principles.html,
you must be right.  I thought the lists could be concatenated.

Thanks

This also happens because of a bug in apt-utils.  In order to upgrade 
apt-utils, you'll need to eliminate all but the testing line in 
sources.list, then do apt-get update.  then apt-get -t testing install 
apt-utils.  After that, your apt-get should work even with all those 
sources...

Done did.  At least we know that the MMap message was not because of
coLinux.

Thanks
