2010-04-07mkinitramfs.8: Add information about $TMPDIR environment variableAxel Beckert
This documents problem with noexec mount options and fixes: BTW: The information about mkinitramfs looking at $TMPDIR is missing in the mkinitramfs(8) man page. Looked there (mostly for commandline options) before reporting that bug. But even searching for "TMP" in there now didn't find any hint on that.

2010-03-26MODULES=DEP Use driver/module syfs attributemaximilian attems
I thought I'd experiment a bit with MODULES=DEP, but it seems this will not work. The atiixp module is properly installed into the initrd (I'm not sure how), but it doesn't end up in /conf/modules. Instead, the /conf/modules ends up as: radeonfb fbcon vesafb pci:v00001002d00004376sv00001462sd00000131bc01sc01i8a ide-gd ATIIXP_IDE pci:v00001002d00004376sv00001462sd00000131bc01sc01i8a unix Of these, the ide-gd and ATIIXP_IDE modules come from walking /sys/devices/pci0000\:00/0000\:00\:14.1/ide0/0.0/. However, the module is called atiixp, not ATIIXP_IDE. The ATIIXP_IDE comes directly from sysfs, though: readlink -f /sys/devices/pci0000\:00/0000\:00\:14.1/driver /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ATIIXP_IDE Using driver/module instead of just driver is more robust: $ readlink -f /sys/devices/pci0000\:00/0000\:00\:14.1/driver/module /sys/module/atiixp This would also fix the ide-gd module, which really seems to be called ide-gd_mod: $ readlink -f /sys/devices/pci0000\:00/0000\:00\:14.1/ide0/0.0/driver /sys/bus/ide/drivers/ide-gd $ readlink -f /sys/devices/pci0000\:00/0000\:00\:14.1/ide0/0.0/driver/module /sys/module/ide_gd_mod $ sudo modprobe ide-gd FATAL: Module ide_gd not found. $ sudo modprobe ide-gd_mod (closes: #567189) Reported-by: Matthijs Kooijman <matthijs@stdin.nl> [ checked that this already works in Lenny ] Signed-off-by: maximilian attems <maks@debian.org>

2010-03-25configure_networking: Try repeatedly ipconfig with increasing timeoutAnna Jonna Armannsdottir
Here is a bug description and a patch. Please consider it. The patch solves a an LTSP client problem that arises when the clients are connected to Cisco switches that have spanning-tree calculations enabled. Also related to: http://git.debian.org/?p=kernel/initramfs-tools.git;a=commitdiff;h=9c3ec61b1a5e2feaa8d9c6de737eaa00eb446a9c And http://git.debian.org/?p=kernel/initramfs-tools.git;a=commitdiff;h=115134f07a0dd042355a2a6fb5a5ca987b000f5d Here in an extensive explaination: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/initramfs-tools/+bug/181258 Also in the following: I can report the same problem. A number of diskless clients go flawlessly through a PXE boot, then the net interface is brought down when the Linux kernel boots and suddenly, dhcp does not work anymore. Background research on the network: The clients are connected to Cisco switches. The configuration of the switches makes them run spanning-tree calculations. This usually takes some seconds but for large networks it can take up to 30 40 seconds. The network port on the switch is turned on, when this calculation has been finished. This is primarily a security measure. See also: http://networkers-online.com/blog/2008/08/what-is-bpdu-filter/ If this security measure is turned off, the client boots without problems. :) To debug the problem, the following boot line was used: kernel amd64/vmlinuz append ro initrd=amd64/initrd.img nbdport=2000 debug=100 break=1 ip=dhcp In my case, this causes a timeout as can be seen on the attached screenshots. The kernel loads the NIC module e1000e and reports the type of NIC et.c. The kernel time reported is 5.927 . The debug shows the following: configure_networking [ -n eth0 ] [-e /tmp/net-eth0.conf ] ipconfig -t 60 eth0 At about 6.4 in kernel time, the NIC module reports further about it's IRQ configuration. Two seconds (2 sec) later at about 8.56 the NIC module reports that the Link is up at 100 Mbps full duplex. Some milliseconds later it signals ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): eth0: link becomes ready . At this point in time, ipconfig is just waiting for an answer to the DHCP-discover that really was choked by the switch. Now this is an obvious flaw in the script. It would be much more reasonable to try repeatedly with increasing timouts. This would also be much more efficent. may I suggest the following timeouts: 4 8 16 30 60 The sum of this timeout is about 120 seconds. I did some testing with exponential timeout with 1 2 4 8 16 30 ... and it solved the problem, but it seems that ipconfig runs once additionally after it has actually done the job. I am running tests now with an exponent of n/1.5 instead of n. That would give a sequence of (ca) 2 3 4 6 9 16 25 36 64 100 Attached are a jpeg screenshot of the boot sequence and of course the patch. The patch is relative to the present git snapshot. -- Kindest Regards, Anna Jonna Ármannsdóttir, %& A: Because people read from top to bottom.
