Hi,
I hope this is the right place to send this.
At the start of this week, I downloaded everything to
build Devil-Linux 1.3.4 (2007-07-11).
I unchecked "Run build with nice" in make
menuconfig,Build Configuration.
The first problems I encountered were these three
packages refused to compile: ncftp,syslinux and
quagga. (Fragments of logs at end of message)
So, I edited .config to set CONFIG_NCFTP and
CONFIG_QUAGGA to n.
As I could not find a CONFIG_SYSLINUX I created
/build/tmp/.done_build_syslinux.
I can live without ncftp,syslinux and quagga for now.
I have a MiniItx box a Light cv700a so can boot of
Flash using Grub.
The build works Ok, but I had to copy
/build/tmp/syslinux-3.51/ppmtolss16 to /sbin to get
'make iso' to work as syslinux had not compiled and
installed.
The Light box failed to boot this code, whimpering
about unabe to /dev/loop.
So, I modified mount_cdrom
changing lines like:
mount -o loop=/dev/loop0 -t iso9660
/cd/bootcd.iso.old $1 || return 1
to
losetup /dev/loop0 /cd/bootcd.iso.old
mount -t iso9660 /dev/loop0 $1 || return 1
and prior to each umount adding:
losetup -d /dev/loop0
I think that the mount command can mount loop devices
:-(
The next issue for me is networking.
The Light cv700a uses 3 RealTek ethernet cards
(8139too)
Which fail to work under devil linux.
I have had the network cards, on this box, work under
centos 4.3.
More puzzling is the lack of networking:
root@Devil:~ # ifconfig
lo Link encap:Local Loopback
inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0
UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436

root@Devil:~ # route add -net 192.168.2.0/24 dev eth0
SIOCADDRT: Network is down.
I can ping 127.0.0.1 and 192.168.2.1 on the box
locally but can not get any traffic out of the phsical
interface.
I have redhat linux box connected to the Devil Linux
Light CV700a with a cross over cable.
The packet light flashes on the Devil Linux but no
traffic enters the OS.
The redhat box can't see any arp address for the Light
box.
Please help..
I am willing and able to undertake any build testing
that may help
Many Thanks
Roy.

As I said before, I think the initscripts should be upgraded to use iproute2 instead of the ancient ifconfig commands.

At least that is what I remember from it. Have to look it up again to be sure. Anyway, disabling the hardened compile options completly fixed it for me. > It's a devilishly hard task.

And especially for 2.6 kernels, iproute2 is much better. I will see if I can start creating something, but it will take some time before it is a complete set. For now I have fwbuilder scripts and they work very well for me. Greetings, Jan Hugo Prins |

inetutils.patch
|
Hi again,
Many thanks for the help so far.
The patch file asm_types.h.patch allowed me to
compile quagga. :-)
The patch file for mount_cdrom works great! :-)
You are right to say network is working. my problem is
is that there are two copies of ifconfig.
The first one found of the path is built from
inetutils and this produces output like this:
root@Devil:~ # ifconfig
lo Link encap:Local Loopback
inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0
UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436
txqueuelen:0
This will NOT configure my network card and as it is
the fisr copy found on the path the network script
uses it.
The second ifconfig is in the sbin directory and is
compiled fron net-tools, this produces output like:
root@Devil:~ # /sbin/ifconfig
lo Link encap:Local Loopback
inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0
UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1
RX packets:8 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0
frame:0
TX packets:8 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0
carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
RX bytes:688 (688.0 b) TX bytes:688 (688.0
b)
This works (and give statistics, nice).
I can now configure my network card with:
ifconfig eth0 192.168.2.1 netmask 255.255.255.0
and the routing tables looks like this:
root@Devil:~ # ip r l
192.168.2.0/24 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src
192.168.2.1
The 8139too module is autoloaded during the boot
process.
The setup tool adds a trailing dot (.) on the module
name in the config file.
root@Devil:~ # cat /etc/sysconfig/nic/ifcfg-eth0
DEVICE=eth0
ONBOOT=yes
MODULE="8139too."
DHCP=no
IP="192.168.2.1"
NETMASK="255.255.255.0"
BROADCAST="192.168.2.255"
This is not critical as the module is already loaded
(discovered at boot), so "/etc/init.d/network restart"
will get the card up and working.
Two suggestions for fixing the two copies of ifconfig:
1) edit /etc/init.d/network and change all instances
of ifconfig to /sbin/ifconfig
2) patch /build/scripts/inetutils to disable compiling
ifconfig with "--disable-ifconfig"
Both work, I prefer the second option attached is the
patch I used.
There are other duplicate files:
groups, hostname and mktmp can be found in both /bin
and /usr/bin both sets work but are different
binaries.
ntlm_auth can be found in both /usr/bin and /usr/sbin,
again both execute but are different binaries.
rpc.rquoted can be found in /sbin and /usr/bin, both
execute and are different binaries.
My consern is that like my issue with picking up a
ifconfig that did not work for me, the same could be
said of these files. The PATH is
/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin.
Also every time I restart networking I get :
/etc/wlan/shared: line 77: :[ too many arguments.
any ideas?
Thanks again,
Roy.

OK here's my vote: >> There are other duplicate files: >> >> >> groups, hostname and mktmp can be found in both /bin and /usr/bin both >> sets work but are different binaries. > ... > >> ntlm_auth can be found in both /usr/bin and /usr/sbin, again both >> execute but are different binaries. > ... > >> rpc.rquoted can be found in /sbin and /usr/bin, both execute and are >> different binaries. > hostname - coreutils and net-tools net-tools > groups - coreutils and shadow shadow > mktmp -(?)
