Just compiled a kernel for valentine version. can I just add the new patch or should I delete and start with fresh kernel source? I think I figured out how to use an initrd but need to build a kernel with support. <bootparams>initrd=cobd2 root=/dev/ram0 init=linuxrc rw</bootparams> and use the newer style of pivot root where it is explicitly done in linuxrc I tried faking it with the new standard kernel with <bootparams>root=cobd2 init=linuxrc rw</bootparams> but it dies when init (linuxrc) does thanks, chris |

also are there any changes to .config ? or can I use the one I setup yesterday? > Just compiled a kernel for valentine version. > can I just add the new patch or should I delete and start with fresh > kernel source? > > I think I figured out how to use an initrd but need to build a kernel with > support. > > <bootparams>initrd=cobd2 root=/dev/ram0 init=linuxrc rw</bootparams> > and use the newer style of pivot root where it is explicitly done in > linuxrc > > > I tried faking it with the new standard kernel with > <bootparams>root=cobd2 init=linuxrc rw</bootparams> > but it dies when init (linuxrc) does > > thanks, > chris > > > ------------------------------------------------------- > SF.Net is sponsored by: Speed Start Your Linux Apps Now. > Build and deploy apps & Web services for Linux with > a free DVD software kit from IBM.

To use the patch from the latest release, first remove the old patch using 'patch -R', and then apply the latest patch. > I think I figured out how to use an initrd but need to build a kernel with > support. > > <bootparams>initrd=cobd2 root=/dev/ram0 init=linuxrc rw</bootparams> > and use the newer style of pivot root where it is explicitly done in linuxrc > > I tried faking it with the new standard kernel with > <bootparams>root=cobd2 init=linuxrc rw</bootparams> > but it dies when init (linuxrc) does Why do you need a kernel with an initrd support? -- Dan Aloni da...@gm... |

tell me if i'm wrong here but i thought the whole point of an initrd was to avoid haveing too many drivers in the kernel but as colinux is a very static architecture (because it does not deal with hardware) i don't really see the point -----Original Message----- From: col...@li...

This boots, and then, after the setup starts, it mounts the CD. with initrd support, installing slackware from CD would be as difficult as copying the initrd, load colinux and install... and iso9660 support would be awesome :o) (would make it easier to do, than to copy all that stuff to a ext2fs filesystem...)

i can't see any reason colinux wouldn't do iso9660 though i don't think that the current binary releases come with it -----Original Message----- From: col...@li...

I came up with a way to do topologilinux without initrd under coLinux after realizing that I was only using it to set sym links. I think I can put the links to /dev/cobd? in the /initrd folder and have fstab point to them for devices. When booting natively the initrd will be mounted here and will have it's own it's own links to /dev/loop? chris >> but as colinux is a very static architecture (because it does not deal >> with >> hardware) i don't really see the point > > example: Slackware > > Slackware CDs are essentially running off a initrd that is on the CD. that > initrd contains a mini-root, with all the scripts and the installer.
