Re: [Devil-linux-develop] devil linux 1.3.4 (2007-07-11) build andnetwork problems

SourceForge Headquarters 1320 Columbia Street Suite 310 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

Hi there,
I've also managed to build 1.3.4 today and am now taking a deeper look =
at it.

First: ncurses hat to be disabled and syslinux had to be downgraded at =
my build-system aswell.

now to the problem with the dot "." after the module-names:
looking at the "setup"-script shows the problem
on line 470 the driver-modules are enumerated but the script uses the =
2.4-extension ".o"
this has to be replaced with the 2.6-fashion ".ko"

Also there are some other "problems" with the make build itself.
There are still some "unanswered" questions regarding the =
kernel-settings (IO-Scheduler and so on...)

so running the build with CONFIG_DISABLELOGGING=3Dy in .config will show =
what to add/change.

I will keep you updated as my evaluation goes on.

My purpose is to setup a loadbalancing cluster of reverse-proxy-apaches =
using shorewall, heartbeat and httpd.

Cheers,
Bj=F6rn

Betreff: Re: [Devil-linux-develop] devil linux 1.3.4 (2007-07-11) build =
andnetwork problems

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=3Deth0 =
ONBOOT=3Dyes MODULE=3D"8139too."
DHCP=3Dno
IP=3D"192.168.2.1"
NETMASK=3D"255.255.255.0"
BROADCAST=3D"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.
