[Bootcd-user] bootcd hangs at boot time

[Rubikz]

Hi Mark,

With devfs disabled (DEVFS=no) in bootcdwrite.conf config file and not
compiled in the kernel 2.6.5

<Try FASTBOOT=no and see if this gets any further.> --> ok

<Look at the CD on linux and let me know how big your ram1.cpio.gz and
ram2.cpio.gz are as I'd like to test that.>

ram1.cpio.gz (335,9 Mo)
ram2.cpio.gz (1,3 Ko)

<Then make sure it fits. That is, don't (i)gnore ram errors.>

--> with RAMDISK_SIZE=41483 I get :

NOT_TO_RAMCD (NOT_TO_RAM v NOT_TO_CD) =  . . . . . . . . . . . . . 36168
RAM_ALL (etc v home v root v NOT_TO_RAM v NOT_TO_CD) = . . . . . .
408932
Needed RAM (RAM_ALL - NOT_TO_RAMCD) =  . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
372764
90 % of RAM  = . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
372764
OK - enough RAM (Needed RAM <= 90 % of RAM)

<Then try setting up tmpfs after you're in. Vlado supplied some somewhat
sketchy instructions:

ml>

--> I would see it later

<Make sure you have the latest module-init-tools - the older version
caused Michael Lee problems.> --> It is the last version

<Also, some people have had problems with 2.6 kernels that was solved by
using 2.4 kernels. If you can, try the 2.4.26 kernel.> --> I prefer to
use the 2.6 kernel

All the same, It stops in middle of booting and hangs

Minimum of needed INODES : 6600
Creating Ram with 1024 INODES per MB
Mke2fs 1.27 (8-Mar-2002)
Remounting devfs
(After three minutes of wait)

(... it appears errors)
cpio: cannot make directory `/ram2/var.ro`: Read-only file system
...
mv: cannot stat `/ram2/var.ro`: No such file or directory
ln: `/var/lib/locate/locatedb`: File exists. (To finish, it stop here)


I begin to lose hope and I really can't think why I choose another
solution

Rub.
