[Devil-linux-develop] devil linux 1.3.4 (2007-07-11) build and network problems

[roy b. <roy...@ya...>]

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
	  txqueuelen:0

root@Devil:~ # ifconfig eth0

	BROADCAST MULTICAST  MTU:1500
        txqueuelen:1000

root@Devil:~ # route -n

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.
