Dood day. I have upgraded from version 1.2.10 of Devil Linux to version 1.2.12 and i have seen, that is missing the library /usr/lib/iptables/libipt_layer7.so in this new version. This library was presented in version 1.2.10. Now this command and similar: iptables -m layer7 exits with: iptables v1.3.7: Couldn't load match `layer7':/usr/lib/iptables/libipt_layer7.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Is something new or different in version 1.2.12 than in version 1.2.10 ? Sorry, if this question was seen here before. I am new at this maillist, but I didn't find any similar question in archives. Thanks Jiri Motycka |

Hello, My /etc/sysconfig/config file has RUNFROMRAM=y option enabled, but I see that my boot CD is still mounted and the root filesystem still runs from CD. Do I misunderstand the purpose of that option or something goes wrong? What I need is to boot the system from the CD or USB flash, remove the boot media and let the system run from memory. My compressed ISO image uses CRAMFS and is 76 MB in size. The host PC has 256 MB RAM. -- Best regards, Dmitry Komarov |

Short update: If I boot the system with separate configuration media (i.e. on USB stick) it loads into RAM as expected. But if I start the system without configuration media (the CD is preconfigured before burning and has RUNFROMRAM=y option) then it still mounts the CD and runs from it. How can I fix this?

Can you please specify what "the CD is preconfigured before burning and has RUNFROMRAM=y option" means? Are you talking about boot loader options? If yes, then this is currently not supported as you need to have a configuration which contains the "RUNFROMRAM=y" setting. > On Tuesday 27 February 2007 14:33, Dmitry Komarov wrote: > >>My /etc/sysconfig/config file has RUNFROMRAM=y option enabled, but I see >>that my boot CD is still mounted and the root filesystem still runs from >>CD. >> >>Do I misunderstand the purpose of that option or something goes wrong?

I will have to check the startup process, maybe I've included RUNFROMRAM too early in the process so when you hit the no config media case it's already to late to activate it from the default config.

Heh, thanks a lot for support! I've just came myself to the same solution and it works. But I really hate going through the same bugs from one release to another while being too shy myself to submit patches... Hope to see this in upcoming 1.2.13 :))) Two more old problems there: 1) install-on-usb script actually is buggy when you try to create and msdos bootable partition - syslinux always claims "unknown partition type msdos" and I need to run it under another distro; 2) if I create an ext2 partition from install-on-usb script (say using Grub) then later I can't create an initial configuration on this partition during boot (it offers this option, gives no error, but does not actually create etc.tar.bz2 there). If I create this file on the partition myself - then save-config works just fine. 3) if I create an LVM volume "etc", it is mounted under /shm/var/etc after all. What for??.. -- Best regards, Dmitry Komarov -- Best regards, Dmitry Komarov IT Project Manager SIA CITYNET 22/24 - 500 Katolu str. Riga, LV-1003 Latvia |

Yes, but your installation manual has a pretty nice table with all possible LV names (supposed to be recognized by DL), and "etc" volume is there in the list..... :) I just thought I can create and mount "etc" volume, so all my /etc stuff goes there with no need for save-config every time. I just like the DL distro itself for small bullet-proof projects, not only because of its its separate image & config file structure. It can be really usefull I think... -- Best regards, Dmitry Komarov |

You can also install an IDE to compact flash adapter into your motherboards IDE socket, eg. this one from Conrad <http://preview.tinyurl.com/2elgxj>. To DL this then looks like a real HDD ;-) >>>3) if I create an LVM volume "etc", it is mounted under /shm/var/etc >>>after all.

DL is not really suitable to have /etc/ on a real harddisc. I think you'll find out when you try it out. You'd have to hack the boot process to not depend on etc.tar.bz2 to be available. BTW it is really nice to have to run "save-config" especially in case of remote configuration changes. One simply starts a "shutdown -r 30 &" in the background, does his changes and tests them. In case something goes wrong, eg. you locked yourself out, just go for a coffee as the shutdown will jump in and bring the system back again as it was before. Just saved yourself from hours of riding the car or traveling by plane to some remote location ;-) Only when everything works out fine you do a "save-config". Try that when all your changes are saved to the live system - a reboot won't help you there. Just my 2 cents. -- MfG / Regards Friedrich Lobenstock ____________________________________________________________________ Friedrich Lobenstock Linux Services Lobenstock URL: http://www.lsl.at/ Email: fl...@fl... ____________________________________________________________________ |

It affects people booting from the CD without a configuration and it's only important for users who changed the on-CD default configuration to contain RUNFROMRAM=y. Users who don't need RUNFROMRAM=y right from the beginning, not like Dmitry, can ignore a possible error message produced by the umount command and DL will boot just fine. If this patch is not included Dmitry has to compile DL for himself as he might be hit by that race condition(*). (*) the race condition is currently only verified with qemu, no other reports yet. -- MfG / Regards Friedrich Lobenstock ____________________________________________________________________ Friedrich Lobenstock Linux Services Lobenstock URL: http://www.lsl.at/ Email: fl...@fl... ____________________________________________________________________ |
