find the PCI address for the device

example:

root@hyper:/sys/class/block # ls -l /sys/class/block/sdb
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Feb 22 18:09 /sys/class/block/sdb -> 
../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1a.7/usb1/1-1/1-1:1.0/host0/target0:0:0/0:0:0:0/block/sdb

(address is 00:1a.7)

then find what modules the PCI device uses.

example:
00:1a.7 USB controller: Intel Corporation 82801JI (ICH10 Family) USB2 EHCI 
Controller #2 (prog-if 20 [EHCI])
         Subsystem: Super Micro Computer Inc Device 0006
         Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 0, IRQ 18
         Memory at fbeda000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=1K]
         Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 2
         Capabilities: [58] Debug port: BAR=1 offset=00a0
         Capabilities: [98] PCI Advanced Features
         Kernel driver in use: ehci_hcd

(kernel driver is ehci_hcd).


If it doesn't work for some reason, just post "lspci -v | grep "Kernel driver in 
use:" I'll try to find what driver is absent in initrd.

I am assuming the kernel is seeing the sata controller as I can access 
the mSATA drive once booted to partition/read/write, etc.

Would there be any device driver that is only being loaded once etc-mods 
has been read?

Re: [Devil-Linux-discuss] Installing on mSATA drive

[Martin G. <sou...@gl...>]

Hi,

Thanks for the response,

I don't see it finding any media when it gets to that spot....
...
Version 1.6.0-RC2
Kernel 3.2.4-grsec
Mounting SHM FS on /shm
waiting until usb-storage driver has initialized all devices ...
Creating devices in /dev

Searching for configuration media
Would you really like to load DL without Configuration Media? (y/n)


The mSATA drive has 2 partitions - one with just the etc-mods and the 
other with both etc-mods and bootdisk.iso, etc

I have reformated the mSATA drive a few times already, but that has made 
no difference.


Here is what happens if I boot off the mSATA drive with the USB drive in 
place...
...
Version 1.6.0-RC2
Kernel 3.2.4-grsec
Mounting SHM FS on /shm
waiting until usb-storage driver has initialized all devices ...
Creating devices in /dev

Searching for configuration media
Checking for "etc-mods.tar.bz2" on "/dev/sda1" ... success!
loading configuration
Searching for Devil-Linux CD-ROM
Search list:
    checking /dev/sda1 ... Found Devil-Linux v1.6.0-RC2

Found ISO (1.6.0-RC2) on /dev/sda1
Mounting SHM FS on /cdrom/shm
Unmounting  proc
Starting up final system...

In other words, the USB drive is identified as /dev/sda

I am pretty sure it is booting initially from the mSATA drive as that is 
what I have in the boot order and I don't see any activity on the USB 
LED until after the configuration is searched/found. I used SysLinux 
with serial console for the boot loader as I could not get it to boot 
using Grub (with serial).


Here is the output of fdisk -l (the USB device is seen as /dev/sda)

root@Devil:~ # fdisk -l

Do you see your partitions listed?
Does the kernel detect your SATA controller? Does it find the drive?

Re: [Devil-Linux-discuss] Installing on mSATA drive

[Dominic R. <dl...@ed...>]

Hi Martin

Can you tell us what you see, without USB stick in, when the boot 
process gets to the stage:

Creating devices in /dev
Searching for configuration media
Checking...

what gets checked and what results are returned?

I wonder if your system is checking the device where etc-mods-tar.bz2 is 
stored, or if it is trying to check it but is unable to read it. With 
your USB stick out I think the mSATA drive would be /dev/sda. Did you 
store the configuration on the first partition of mSATA (/dev/sda1) or 
on a separate second partition (/dev/sda2)? If the former, you might try 
the latter, it is really better anyway. What boot loader are you using? 
Did you (re-)format the partition(s) and if so how?

Dominic

[ After the initial boot process there are normally two steps to finding 
the DL system configuration:

 1. search for etc-mods.tar.bz2 on devices in turn (e.g. /dev/hda
    /dev/hdc1 /dev/hdc /deb/hdb1) which should (of course) end with
    success, then 'loading configuration'

[Devil-Linux-discuss] Installing on mSATA drive

[Martin G. <sou...@gl...>]

Hi,

Been using DL for a while and now I am trying to replace my PC hardware.
I have a new Soekris NET6501 with an internal 2GB mSATA drive (TS2GMSA500).

I've installed DL on a USB stick and have it running from there but I 
want to install it on the mSATA drive.

I've used the install-on-usb script and and installed DL on the drive 
(including etc-mods) however I have a problem - the system boots off the 
mSATA drive, but then when it comes to loading etc-mods, it cannot find 
etc-mods or the bootcd.iso file and so cannot boot.

If I boot from the mSATA drive with the USB stick in place, it finds the 
config on the USB stick as well as the bootcd.iso and continues to boot 
of the USB stick.
The USB stick appears as /dev/sda
The mSATA drive appears as /dev/sdb

I have tried both 1.4 and 1.6 versions of DL with the same result.

It's as if DL finds the mSATA drive to start the boot process but then 
loses it when it creates udev and searches for the configuration file.

Does anyone have any thoughts on how I can get this working off the 
mSATA drive or what I might be doing wrong?


Thanks

as far as i know, there are 2 servers providing ipsec - strongswan and

For l2tp you can use openl2tp server.

[Devil-Linux-discuss] dl-config-compare.sh

[Dominic R. <dl...@ed...>]

I have written a program to assist Devil-Linux administrators find 
differences between the default Devil-Linux configuration files and 
their machine's own configurations.

It is intended for running after a Devil-Linux system upgrade, so you 
can compare your retained configuration files (at /etc-mods/*, as would 
be saved by save-config) with the default configuration files (at 
/etc-cd/*). It is not a replacement for the file-selection process 
offered at first boot after DL upgrade, but it can subsequently help you 
identify which of your files differ from the default, and how.

More at http://www.timedicer.co.uk/programs/help/dl-config-compare.sh. 
Let me know if you have any problems with it - or suggestions.

I doubt that the upgrade will be very successful. You can try to go to  
1.4 first, then to 1.6.
Do you have a lot configured on the router? If it's just a  
firewall/router, it may be a lot easier to simply transfer the  
settings/config files to a new 1.6 (cleaner also).

There have been a lot of improvements since 1.6 (and a lot of security  
fixes), so upgrading is highly recommended.

Thanks for the reply! I only run D-L as a firewall-router, so I'm thinking the 
only really important things to copy would be the dhcpd.conf file, the ifconfig
files and the firewall-rules file. Probably would be much cleaner to just start from scratch. It is running an AMD Athlon XP 2100+, I'm sure the version will work just fine! I'll give it a try Sunday morning when things should be a bit quiet at work.

I'm using ifb only. My choice was dictated by the better opinion of ifb than

[Heiko Z. <he...@zu...>]

Hello DL community,

is anybody still using IMQ?
IMQ is (once again) preventing us from moving to the latest kernel,  
since there's no new patch out yet.

    If you download a release (I recommend 1.6.0-RC1) from <a
      class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="ftp://devil-linux.org">ftp://devil-linux.org</a>
    then unpack it, you will see a file install-on-usb.exe (different
    from install-on-usb), you can run this in Windows (with admin
    privileges) to install Devil-Linux onto USB. More info <a

Thanks Andrzej, that solves it. I never changed inittab so it must be I 
had an older version - the only difference was this one line which as 
you say is now commented out. I deleted /shm/etc-mods/inittab and 
rebooted, now iptstate is gone :-)

iptstate (as other programs) can be called indirectly by init from 
/etc/inittab. As I can see now, in /etc-cd/inittab is:

> 8:2345:respawn:env - TERM=linux /bin/procinfo -f -F /dev/tty8
> #7:2345:respawn:env - TERM=linux /usr/sbin/iptstate -r 5 > /dev/tty7 < /dev/tty7

...so start iptstate from inittab is commented out. This line is appended by 
build/scripts/iptstate in install phase.

But as I remember, some time ago this line was active (not commented out). If 
You changed in this time something in this file (i.e. commented out start of 
daemontools) and saved your configuration, You have your own changed copy of 
this file in /shm/etc-mods probably with old, uncommented start of iptstate.

You can edit /etc/inittab and comment out start of iptstate on console7, as is 
now in default inittab. You can remove file /shm/etc-mods/inittab and in etc 
you will see initial/default inittab file.

[Devil-Linux-discuss] iptstate running continuously

[Dominic R. <dl...@ed...>]

On my DL machines (1.6.0-RC1, 32-bit server) iptstate seems to run 
continuously (and use significant CPU resource), outputting to tty7.

Is this by design? Looking at man page I think iptstate should run only 
when called. If I kill it will I break something?

Building anything for DL will also take a lot of time for us.

Create a feature request in Mantis, so we don't forget about this.
Maybe you get lucky and somebody volunteers to implement it.

[Devil-Linux-discuss] UDP (multicast) - to - HTTP proxy

[GrayCat <gra...@gm...>]

Hello Devil Devs!

Now IPTV is very common in FTTB providers, and it is time to add
some sort of "Multicast Proxy" support to home routers. As I
understood from discussion on DL support forum a few years ago,
no IGMP proxy was planned. But now there are new hints: 
"UDP-to-HTTP" proxies, like Udpxy, and IPTV players capable of
using them. 

So, is it possible to add http://sourceforge.net/projects/udpxy/
to next releases of Devil-linux? I am not an experienced
Linux-programmer, building anything for DL will take a lot of
time...

Thank you!

The prepare script copies the files into the kernel directory.
Keep min mind that the config_linux.486 script is only for the  
CPU/platform specific parameters. The bulk of the settings are in  
config_linux (x86_64 is the only one which is different).

Yes unfortunately we don't have an up-to-date documentation for 1.6.  
We're accepting volunteers to fix the docs! ;-)

We currently have no support for supplying a custom kernel config. It  
may be a good idea to add that functionality, so you can simply point  
it to your cfg file. Patches are welcome. :D
For now I would just replace the config_linux file and make sure you  
keep a copy outside out the build tree, so it doesn't get overwritten  
by updates.
