[Trinux-talk] FAILURE: Making a bootable CD (ISO) with PCMCIA support...

[David G. M. <dgl...@gm...>]

In an attempt to build a Trinux ISO CD with PCMCIA support,
I have done the following.
1) Take the original iso "trinux-80rc2-2.4.5.iso".
2) Mount it throught a loopback
    losetup /dev/loop0 trinux-80rc2-2.4.5.iso
    mount /mnt/cdrom /dev/loop0 -t iso9660
3) Tar the countent into a file and untar somewhere else
    (this is because iso9660 is read only)
4) Remove the boot.img file.
5) Insert next to the directory the file "trinux-0.80rc2-pcmcia.img" renamed
as boot.img.
6) use the "Unix shell script" to build a new iso file.
7) Burn on a CD and try.

As expected the CD boot,
but I get message that we only support vfat and minix for locating the
package,
where my package are obviously on an iso9660.

I also attempted to boot the normal "trinux-80rc2-2.4.5.iso" and
start the pcmcia stuff by hand, but the CD does not contain the package
"pcmcia-bin" nor "/etc/init.d/pcmcia".

I may be more lucky by having a copy of the CD "trinux-80rc2-2.4.5.iso"
on my hard disk (vfat) and "merge"(???) it with the content of
"trinux-0.80rc2-pcmcia.img".

I need the following help:
 1) Where are the source to rebuild "trinux-0.80rc2-pcmcia.img" with iso9660
support.
 2) In the futur would it be possible to insert that iso9660 support by
default.
 3) If I want to merge the tux directory of the ISO (cd) and the IMG
(floppy),
     wich version should overwrite the other.

Any other suggestion are welcome.

David GLAUDE

PS: I try to boot WITHOUT a floppy drive (I have one but not always
available).

Booting Knoppix ISO CD on my laptop work nicely.

Strange, the two first are on the CD,
but not pcmcia-bin (wich is only on the pcmcia floppy)...

/etc/init.d does not contain pcmcia...
Maybe because I don't have pcmcia-bin.

Yes, but I mount it, tar it, untar somewhere else,
then work on that copy to modify it.

Work in progress, I will keep you updated if I have a working solution.

[Trinux-talk] Howto make a bootable CD (ISO) with PCMCIA support?

[David G. M. <dgl...@gm...>]

Hello,
I have successfully booted a Desktop with Trinux ISO CD image.
And I have successfully booted my laptop with a RAW floppy image.
But when I boot the laptop from the CD my ethernet is not visible.

But I would like to build a bootable CD that will work with my laptop
(PCMCIA Xircom).

I was wondering if I just need to mount the iso (losetup on /dev/loop0),
remove the image of the floppy from the original iso,
insert the floppy image with pcmcia support,
and rebuild the iso using the script.

Is it that simple OR do I have to also change the structure within the CDROM
(changing the tux directory and taking from the pcmcia floppy,
in wich case I need more detail on the procedure)?

I just created one tonight with the trinux-80rc2-2.4.5.iso and Nero Burning
Rom.  Worked great on the first mini-CDR...seemed to take longer with the
Lead In/Lead Out than it did for the rest of the CD.  :-)

[Trinux-talk] problems with firewalk...

[Bob R. <ri...@ei...>]

Hi,

I'm having a problem getting firewalk to work in Trinux.  I've tried both
the rc1 2.2.19 and rc2 2.4.5 kernel, using the 'net' and 'pcmcia' floppy
boot image on three different machines with as many different ethernet
cards (mostly 3com).  

Regarless of which options i issue to firewalk, i get the same type of
response.  It runs down the list of incrementing TTL's and simply puts a
'*' for each response.  The following is a sample scan

Ramping up hopcounts to binding host...
probe:  1  TTL:  1  port 33434:   *
probe:  2  TTL:  2  port 33434:   *
probe:  3  TTL:  3  port 33434:   *
probe:  4  TTL:  4  port 33434:   *
probe:  5  TTL:  5  port 33434:   *
probe:  6  TTL:  6  port 33434:   *
probe:  7  TTL:  7  port 33434:  
0 ports open, 0 ports unknown
7 probes sent, 0 replies received

I've switched source and desination ports, different gateways/targets,
different number of hops btw gateway and target, different protocols/etc
and all i get is the above (with appropriate changes to port and TTL). I
can see the ICMP time exceeded coming back in through tcpdump, so i know
the packets are being written to the network and the ICMP's are
making it back.

I've had the same problem running firewalk on different boxes, different
network cards/etc.  I'm to the point where i think it's just flat broken,
but i wanted to hit at least this list to see if anyone has seen this
behavior before.  Is hping2 the only alternative for this style of network
scanning?

Thanks!!!

Re: [Trinux-talk] PCMCIA boot disk freezes!

[Matthew F. <mat...@ya...>]

I was aware of problems with booting off a CD-ROM
(without a floppy drive present) that caused a
several-minute hang, but this is the first I've heard
about the problem you've described. There is an issue
with busybox hiding the kernel boot messages so it is
difficult to see if it is freezing on specific
hardware component.

Is there anything unusal about your laptop. Does it
make a difference if the PCMCIA cards are plugged in.
I would guess not since it does not appear that the
kernel is completely booting or the linuxrc script is
executed.

Re: [Trinux-talk] Compiling a Trinux-compatible kernel

[J. R. v. B. <jr...@cs...>]

Hey Matthew - 

The kernel's bundled w/ Trinux work like a charm - I can boot to them
via loadlin from a DOS partition, through lilo, or from a floppy.  The
default redhat kernels (which all include initrd and ramdisk support),
as well as the ones I've built all fail, even with all other
configurations being identical.  I've seen this behavior now on two
different machines, one a dual processor Pentium 6, and the other a
single processor Celeron.  I just tried passing mem=XXX to the kernel,
but that didn't help.  ;-(

Are there any other things that need to be done?  (eg, using rdev to set
some magic options in the kernel image, etc.)  Would it be possible for
me to see a copy of the kernel .config you are using these days?  I'd
like to at least rule out kernel options as a variable.  

Thanks for your help!!

Best,

-Rob

Re: [Trinux-talk] Compiling a Trinux-compatible kernel

[Matthew F. <mf...@ci...>]

Did the existing kernels work? I have seen that error message on some
Celeron's if you don't pass the amount of RAM to kernel (i.e. mem=256M)
All you should need is to specify and ramdisk and check the initial
ramdisk (initrd) option and you should be all right.

[Trinux-talk] Compiling a Trinux-compatible kernel

[J. R. v. B. <jr...@cs...>]

Greetings!

I'm trying to compile a new kernel for use w/ Trinux (I need the DAC960
driver built in), but am having trouble mounting the ram disk as the
root device.  I expect the problem may be w/ the kernel options I chose,
but I haven't been able to find a configuration that works.  I found a
link to the .config used to build Trinix in the list archives
(http://trinux.sourceforge.net/config.html), but the file no longer
exists.  Is the .config available elsewhere?

To give you some background, here's what I've tried:

  * several kernel versions (2.2.[16,17,19], and 2.4.9)
  * all configs include ramdisk support, initrd, minix, ext2, and vfat
  * I've tried booting using loadlin and lilo (both of which work w/ the
kernel images include w/ Trinux)
  * I've tried using rdev to set the root device on the kernel image to
/dev/ram0

Unfortunately, every time I boot using one of the kernels I've compiled,
I get the following message:

   Kernel Panic: can't mount root device on 01:00

At this point, I've tried all of the kernel configs that seem like they
might help, and read through the initrd docs looking for clues.  Any
help would be most appreciated!!  

Best,

Dear Trinux users. I am Trinux beginner but use Debian on desktop-PC.

I am trying to install Trinux and making firewall on note-PC.
But, my PCMCIA ethernet card is not working with my note-PC.
Please advice me.

I did the following tests.

PC: ThinkPad 365X ( RAM=24Mbyte) and IBM external FDD unit.
I checked used IRQ and IO base address with Windows95.

Tested PCMCIA ethernet card: ( Cardmgr messages are the same.)
  PLANEX ENW-3503-T( NE2000 compatible but NIC chip is Winbond W89C926. )
  Corega EtherII PCC-T

Dear Matthew,
the D-Link DFE530TX netcard makes problems because she needs the

Unfortunately i am not able to compile with 2.4.5 kernel. Maybe you

I assume you have the term.tgz package installed?

Perhaps it is a problem with the keymap. Keymap and non-US keyboard
support is kind of broken at the moment, I think.

You can also mount NT shares as well if that is more convenient using the
smbmount.tgz and smbcore.tgz package. I think man smbmount or man smbmnt
will give some info on how.

I definitely want to move Trinux in that direction. Thanks for your
patience.

Re: [Trinux-talk] (no subject)

[Matthew F. <mat...@ya...>]

The via-rhine module is in:

http://www.trinux.org/modules/2.4.5/kernel/drivers/net/via-rhine.o

Copy this to your boot floppy and add the name of the
module (via-rhine.o) to the file

Use an ASCII text editor (notepad *not* wordpad) to
edit the file \tux\config\modules on the floppy.

- OR -

If you are within trinux you can do:

# fmount
# cd /floppy/tux/config
# echo "via-rhine.o" >> modules
# cd /
# sync
# fumount

Then after you reboot you can do

# dmesg | more  

this will page through the kernel boot messages

or

# lsmod

to see if it got loaded. The module will be put in
/lib/modules so you should be able to insmod it
manually.

What is pci-scan? Did you attempt to install the
via-rhine module and it gave you an error. My guess is
that the pci-scan is only needed if pci support is
compiled as a module--which it is not. 

Unfortunately, I'm in between DSL provides (damn
Rhythms!) so I don't have decent access to my Trinux
development boxes which are at work.

[Trinux-talk] (no subject)

[mahling <ma...@gm...>]

Hello Trinux-talk,
is there anybody who is able to compile a pci-scan.o and a via-rhine.o
with the kernel 2.4.5, because i don´t have this kernel on my
computers running. I need this files to run a d-link DFE 530 TX
netcard to run with trinux.

Hello Mahling

i also use the trinux0.8 with net-package loading.
!!The mount command (in busybox) does support nfs.!!
-is your net device working
-did you get a ip adress from your DHCP server
-did you download all the packages from the trinux ftp server (at last
busybox)?
-can you ping to your nfs server?
-is you NFS-server configured properly (can you nfs mount from another
server)?

Just use the mount command:

mount -t nfs nfs_servername:/exportet_directory
/your_mounting_directory_on_the_trinux_box

I allways download win95 images with tis mount method.

best regards
