Kernel 2.6.18 and mkinitcpio coming soon

McQueen · 2006-08-15 02:17:30

If you're using the kernel26.img on your initrd line then you've enabled mkinitcpio.

straydog · 2006-08-15 02:44:08

Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't you have to install grub after making the change on the initrd line? Without that step, you haven't actually changed grub. The automatic partitioning on this box put grub in the mbr, but since Arch doesn't have a grub update feature (that I'm aware of), I had to guess about the location of grub. Hence, I don't know for sure if I've actually installed grub into the right spot and am actually using mkinitcpio. I could still be running the old grub using the initrd image if I wrote the updated grub elsewhere.

Is there any other way to tell? Am I completely out in left field, here?

The kernel26.install is fairly explicit (says nothing about reinstalling grub):

>>> MKINITCPIO SETUP
>>> ----------------
>>> To switch to mkinitcpio ramdisk setup please change your bootloader config:
>>> - initrd26.img to kernel26.img
>>> - initrd26-full.img to kernel26-fallback.img

Thanks, McQueen. Of course, you are right, there is no mention of installing/updating grub in the Wiki, either. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything. I've been bit before.

Grub does not need to be reinstalled evey time you make a configuration change. It reads your configuration during boot.

grub should never need to be reinstalled. lilo, OTOH, does. that's part of what makes grub awesome.

Thanks for the input, folks. I guess I thought it would be the same as Ubuntu, although Ubuntu uses Debian Automagic kernel detection. With that you have to run update-grub to, well, update grub. It's not bad, just different.

Woohoo! This is post 50. Look at me go!

Hi everyone,

I tried to install Arch on a new laptop and after a flawless FTP install and using mkinitcpio generated images, I am unable to boot my system (I had no luck to boot with initrd but no real point to fight with that if it will not be used any longer).

Using kernel26.img, I'll end up with a busy box and using kernel26-fallback.img with a kernel panic :

kinit: Cannot open root device dev (0,0)
kinit: init not found!

I've created some few images with another Arch machine, "playing" with hooks (ide,scsi,sata) and loading some modules (piix ata_piix) but same result. I can't boot Archie or Gentoo live CD... The only thing I can run on that lappy is ubuntu 6.06... If it can help giving clearer informations, hereunder fstab, dmesg and lsmod of a successful ubuntu install...

I have to say that I have just very basic knowledge of Linux systems so I am a bit lost on that case... I had few Arch machines before, all of them working great... If someone has any idea, you'll be bless for at least 1,000 years.

Thanks in advance.

tpowa · 2006-08-17 08:02:26

are you sure you entered correct root= on boot prompt?

try break=y boot option and load the modules you think you need by hand, including your root filesystem module and then exit

phrakture · 2006-08-17 14:37:19

Try adding rootfstype=jfs and verify that jfs is in the image (mkinitcpio -M should list the modules included in kernel26.img)

tpowa · 2006-08-18 12:31:22

hey phrak please take a look at lvm and encrypt hook, both use split binary that is not available anymore.
somehow i missed that.

He he. That's what I meant. I thought you took care of them. I'll do it when I get a chance (tonight, possibly).

tpowa · 2006-08-18 16:49:16

ok just released a new 0.5.2 with the '.' fix and fixed the crypt and lvm hook in testing.
phrakture just take a look at it if everything is fine.

still the stdin:0 bug needs to be tracked down or not?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I know where it is, just need to add some error conditions into the script.

i just updated to 0.5.2 and i still get the "error".

yes phrakture will try to hunt this down soon.

Hmm, this thread made me wonder, is mkinitcpio Arch-specific?

badger · 2006-08-20 09:08:44

Hey all,
I'm unable to get my legacy/non-LUKS dm-crypt setup to boot with mkinitcpio (0.5.2-1), kernel26 (2.6.17.8-1) and cryptsetup (1.0.3-4) (most recent from testing/current).

Output from boot up:

:: Running Hook [encrypt]
device-mapper: 4.6.0-iotcl (2006-02-17) initialised: dm-devel@redhet.com
mknod: No such file or directory - /dev/mapper/control

ERROR: Non-LUKS device decryption failed. verify format:
ERROR:        crypto=hash:cipher:keysize:offset:skip
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!

Crypto was setup pretty much like : http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Enc … Filesystem (so cryptsetup defaults were used). I've attempted to follow the wiki page http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Mkinitcpio , the legacy cryptsetup section is marked currently being broken, is this still the case? Also, I understand order in the HOOKS line matters, but should the encrypt hook be listed before the filesystems one? (I have problems either way)

mkinitcpio.conf contents:

MODULES="" BINARIES="" FILES=""
HOOKS="base udev autodetect ide sata usbinput encrypt filesystems"

grub entry:

title  2.6.17-ARCH kernel26.img
root   (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/sda3 crypto=:::: ro
initrd /kernel26.img

My existing initrd setup works fine, I couldn't get mkinitramfs to work (see my posts in this thread: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?t=20367

Thanks in advance for your advice. cheers

It was supposed to be fixed, but something VERY strange is happening here. It is all a technical problem passing the crypto= options to cryptsetup properly. This results in a command line like

/bin/cryptsetup create root /dev/sda3 --hash """" --cipher """" --key-size """" --offset """" --skip """"

Before filesystems.

Thanks Brain, I just hope to sort this out before mkinitcpio becomes more mainstream. I'm no expert and I don't know what to make of the mknod error message; that seems to indicate a problem right near the start of the encrypt mkinitcpio hook.
I don't even know the default hash and skip values.

Thanks.

I found the solution already (without knowing exactly what is wrong), I just have to get in touch with phrakture or tpowa.

No. The /dev/mapper/control device is created. If you use udev, it already exists, which results in that error.

I don't even know the default hash and skip values.

The point is that you don't have to know them. Although the default settings are weak, they are kept consistent across cryptsetup versions.

brain0 · 2006-08-20 13:11:26

@badger: Please replace the file /lib/initcpio/hooks/encrypt with this file. Then regenerate your image and try again.

badger · 2006-08-20 13:40:00

Brain, thanks a lot for your effort. With your encrypt hook I still get a kernel panic, but it does get further along:

:: Running Hook [encrypt]
device-mapper: 4.6.0-iotcl (2006-02-17) initialised: dm-devel@redhet.com
mknod: No such file or directory - /dev/mapper/control
Non-LUKS encrypted device found...

A password is required to access the root filesystem
Enter passhrase:
:: Running Hook [filesystems]
:: Loading root filesystem ... ext3
:: Initramfs Completed - control passing to kinit
Kinit: Cannot open root device dm-0(254,0)
Kinit: init not found!
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!

edit: Could this just be the result of a missing module(s) in the img? I'm getting that stdin: error 0 when generating the img and when doing mkinitcpio -M.

Again, thanks for your help.

brain0 · 2006-08-20 14:01:24

We're getting closer, at least the cryptsetup initialization seems fine now. It even detects the filesystem properly. There seems to be another problem.

EDIT: Can you try booting with "break=y" and then mount the filesystem manually?

# mkdir /foo
# mount -t ext3 -o ro /dev/mapper/root /foo

You won't be able to boot this way, but this will bring us closer to the problem. Is the mount successful and if not, are there any errors?

EDIT2: When you boot with "break=y", can you check whether the directory /dev/mapper and the file /dev/mapper/control exist? (Do that with echo /dev/* and echo /dev/mapper/*, as there is no ls in early userspace)

badger · 2006-08-20 14:10:44

Hey Brain, I'm back from another round of fiddling and reboots and it is now somewhat solved. Using a regenerated fallback img (along with your smartly modified encrypt hook) boots fine. The img using the autodetect hook (and associated stdin: error 0) does not seem to work for my situation.

Thanks a bunch for your help. Is it worthwhile for me to try your above suggestions or does the working status of the regenerated fallback img give a good idea of the bigger picture issue?
