[arch64] mkinitrd fails with kernel 2.6.15

based on the current 2.6.14.4-2 pkgbuild from arch32 I use this pkgbuild:

Expect from that building the initrd26full.img it works when I comment it out.

Ideas how to fix it?

Re: [arch64] mkinitrd fails with kernel 2.6.15

make sure that you have a /dev/zero device.

if not create one with:

mknod dev/zero c 1 5

that workde for me.

/dev/zero exists  :?

[root@workstation64 andyrtr]# ls -l /dev/zero
crw-rw-rw-  1 root root 1, 5 2005-12-25 10:47 /dev/zero

Re: [arch64] mkinitrd fails with kernel 2.6.15

i'm trying to install a custom kernel taken from the stock Arch kernel (copied files from abs) and i added the patches for suspend2 and fbsplash, while disabling SMP since my wireless card driver doesn't work with SMP.

I get the exact same error:

Checking Input...
    Building full initrd for Arch standard kernel
      (includes all possible modules)
Setting up Parameters...
    /home/ovihc/kernel26-wifi/pkg/lib/modules/2.6.14-ARCH found
ERROR: All of your loopback devices are in use!
==> ERROR: Build Failed.  Aborting...

I've already tried compiling the kernel about 7 times but i get the same error.

Re: [arch64] mkinitrd fails with kernel 2.6.15

The kernel in Arch64/testing build just fine for me.  With mkinitrd, my system runs with no troubles.


Sweet, now I can play with myself.

Re: [arch64] mkinitrd fails with kernel 2.6.15

i forgot to mention that this is not for the 64bit kernel. i'm using a 32bit kernel for my 32bit cpu. however, i got the same error as the guy who first made this post, so i wanted to know if there was a solution that could help me.

Re: [arch64] mkinitrd fails with kernel 2.6.15

I commented this section out on the bottom and it built fine

  touch $startdir/pkg/boot/initrd26-full.img
  /sbin/mkinitrd --skip-config --root-dir=$startdir/pkg full || return 1

it looks like its for full backup initrd although the .install file creates one too.
I don't use the full image so it worked fine for me...

Re: [arch64] mkinitrd fails with kernel 2.6.15

I got the "ERROR: All of your loopback devices are in use!" message too when going from 2.6.14.5 to 2.6.15-2. 

My problem seemed to stem from the way I upgraded.  I first removed my kernel26 (pacman -r kernel26), then added my selfmade kernel26 (pacman -A kernel26-2.6.15-2.pkg.tar.gz)...

The way I fixed it was, I removed the new kernel, and re-added the old kernel, then it was able to make an initrd.  Then I did an upgrade with: pacman -U kernel26-2.6.15-2.pkg.tar.gz  And it was able to create the initrd file without letting me know I've run out of loopbacks.

I don't know in the future if I will be so lucky.

Re: [arch64] mkinitrd fails with kernel 2.6.15

The feature that the kernel pkgbuild creates a second full initrd has been removed in official pkgbuilds. So mkinitrd will do it alone now.
