Right then - attempt #n+1 is now up and running - I've lost count, so you can assign whatever value you like for n.

Incidentally, the unionfs module autoloaded just fine - which is another way of saying that I forgot to preload it, and hoped for the best!

Hopefully, the next one won't be another coaster - I'll know in about an hour.

A bit anti-climactic for 2000 posts, isn't it? Ah well ....

Gullible Jones · 2006-08-06 21:01:54

Ugh... Just for the record I was wrong about Thunar, it also depends on libxfce4util-svn. Pcmanfm FTW, I guess.

tomk · 2006-08-06 21:09:56

This is p***ing me off now - I've got all those missing modules again e.g.

cp: cannot stat `/root/archie-tmp-14194/archieroot/lib/modules/*/kernel/fs/ext3/ext3.ko': No such file or directory

But I can still do this:

# ls /root/archie-tmp-14194/archieroot/lib/modules/*/kernel/fs/ext3/ext3.ko
/root/archie-tmp-14194/archieroot/lib/modules/2.6.17-beyond/kernel/fs/ext3/ext3.ko

So wtf is going on?

I'll have to check that too...or you could take a look at the current stock unionfs PKGBUILD and the unionfs-auto PKGBUILD and fix it for me...go on, there's a good chap

yeah I will look .... makepkg may give more clues ,,,,,

we need Ziggy ;-)

whats with #archie?

tomk · 2006-08-07 08:52:45

Why not just install unionfs from [extra]?

Right - forgive my tone.

I've had a look at the create_initramfs function in mkliveiso, and I can't see anything obviously wrong. I even tried replacing /lib/modules/* with an explicit /lib/modules/2.6.17-beyond, and it still failed with the same errors.

I'm not really up to this level of bash yet, but I'll keep looking anyway - at least I'm learning something.

already there ..... i can modprobe in unionfs ... np ... but building archie does not work

think you need to use archie version ... to build

dtw · 2006-08-07 09:30:00

I even tried replacing /lib/modules/* with an explicit /lib/modules/2.6.17-beyond, and it still failed with the same errors.

I love it when people actually try that sort of stuff! What I don't get is that right before the copying lines it checks specifically that the folder exists and if it doesn't sets it to another folder. However, we know it is _not_ being set to that other folder because the error messages show us that it is using the "correct" folder...so we know that folder is there. Does that make sense? So, I'm a bit baffled. I'll try and build some better error checking into that function tonight and see what that turns up. Keep trying by all means though! And don't worrry about the tone, I fully empathise!

Mr Green: what exactly goes wrong in your archie build? You haven't said.

OK - while I still don't understand why the stock unionfs pkg is no good to you I have updated unionfs-auto and it seems to build just fine here

/me kicks box.....

I am running stock kernel not the pimped out rides you guys use lol

tomk · 2006-08-07 20:59:01

Will you ffs forget about unionfs-auto, which you have already found to be missing a patch, and install unionfs from extra?!

Then dtw can get back to sorting out my problems.

There is a pkg for the stock kernel in [extra] for crying out loud! You do know this right?! Is it not working for you?! :cry:

I made some marginal changes...it should at least error out now if it fails to copy modules. Give it a try would you

dtw · 2006-08-07 21:33:29

OK, I inadvertantly recreated the module copy situation!

I was testing how it works with --gfx nvidia without doing --installarch and kernel26beyond got dragged in as dep...which gets installed to the target partition. Then unionfs kicks in, mounts the "live" part over the top and low and behold find kernel26beyond already installed...so the test comes back true...but you can't copy the modules.

I rebuilt with --installarch and it worked fine. At some point, whether due to unionfs not mounting, I bet that kernel26beyond had been installed to your target partition and that's causing the problem, Tom. It shouldn't be because the script should account for this but it seems it isn't. Worked for me at least!

Oh no! It's getting a bit tricky!

tomk · 2006-08-07 21:43:19

Ok - just tried. All the same error messages, but the script kept going, started mksquashfs, and ordered me a coffee.

dtw · 2006-08-07 21:58:12

Arse! I'm baffled then. Using --installarch definitely fixed the problem here but maybe my idea about the kernel wasn't the problem at all.

It would help for me to see the whole output of the script I think

tomk · 2006-08-07 22:05:29

You're spot on, and it's my insistence on installing wlan-ng that caused it - wlan-ng26-beyond drags in kernel26beyond.

I've removed it from the target, and the module errors are now gone. I'm feeling optimistic now, so I'd better not get any of that missing isolinux crap ........

dtw · 2006-08-07 22:23:41

You're spot on, and it's my insistence on installing wlan-ng that caused it - wlan-ng26-beyond drags in kernel26beyond.

That crossed my mind but obviously it only half-formed in my brain and I forgot to mention it :s I was probably distracted by the missing isolinux crap...but that seems to be fixed for me too. I dunno if it was a reverted change I made. If it fails make sure to checkout latest CVS before retrying.

If you still want wlan-ng you can use --install2iso rather than --install2arch and it should work fine. We need to fix the main problem though to be sure.

tomk · 2006-08-08 00:05:54

OK, mkliveiso finished successfully. I had done a completely new checkout, and forgot to copy over archie.c32, so that's missing, and I'm still getting this fairly cryptic thing:

Unknown file type (unallocated) /root/archie-tmp-9394/archieiso/.. - ignoring and continuing.

after 'Creating iso image' and before 'Cleaning up'.

I'll run it again with archie.c32 in place, and burn & test in the morning.
