getting kernel source with abs

JhonnyBoy · 2007-02-10 11:33:17

Hi
I'm trying to compile a new kernel with the archlinux tools. I use the abs file but makepkg stuck at downloading the first file (it says : "connecting to <IP adresse>" it waits and says : "failed : connection time out.")
I also tried with PKGBUILD and the kerne26fr.install from this page http://wiki.archlinux.fr/howto:kernel:custom when I use it it says "Resolving fr.ftp.kernel.org... failed : name or service not known"
My connexion work I tried to ping google and all was find.
I'm not downloading those file for the first time. Is that a classical problem?

Those error messages indicate a network-related problem, despite your successful ping test. Try using wget by uncommenting the XferCommand line in /etc/pacman.conf - you can also adjust wget's timeout there if necessary.

do as tomk suggested.
.......
added note:
when there is a network issue, don't rely on troubleshooting by just pinging Google. that just confirms you can connect to the internet (a Google server); you should ping the server you're trying to connect to.
also, many servers and home pc, et all wil disable ping reply in their firewall

i personally find that using nmap (questionable) will get you a more accurate reading of whether a host is really down or not.

===========
# ping xts.hcore.org
25 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 23997ms

# nmap xts.hcore.org

I modify the /etc/pacman.conf now pacman -Suy print différent message (it still works). But my makepkg still failled, eatch time it waits around 1 minute 30.
It's talking about ftp://152.104.238.194/.. So I tried to ping this server it and I can't! 100% packets lost. On both of my computer (the other one works under debian and ubuntu so it's not a question of OS).
It's the only net things wihch doesn't work.

change the mirror, only suggestion i got.

JhonnyBoy · 2007-02-10 17:53:03

How do I change the mirror? by editing the PKGBUILD?

noriko · 2007-02-10 18:38:29

yes, the source = section.

JhonnyBoy · 2007-02-11 14:29:08

Where can I find other server (it's not the kernel that I can't dowwload it's a patch).

i dunno,
what patch is it ... and what's the mirror in the pkgbuild ?

JhonnyBoy · 2007-02-11 17:10:32

here is the source part of the PKGBUILD :

ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-$basekernel.tar.bz2 \
  http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/patch-$pkgver.bz2 \
  #http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/testing/patch-2.6.19-rc6.bz2 \
  #http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/snapshots/patch-2.6.19-rc6-git2.bz2 \
  ftp://152.104.238.194/cn/nic/r1000_v1.05.tgz \
  config config.x86_64 logo_linux_clut224.ppm logo_linux_mono.pbm logo_linux_vga16.ppm kernel26.preset \
  mkinitcpio-$pkgname.conf \
  #ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/lenb/acpi/patches/release/$basekernel/acpi-release-20060310-$basekernel.diff.bz2 \
  acpi-dsdt-initrd-v0.8.1-2.6.16.patch ata-early-irq.patch fuse-2.6.1.patch toshiba-bluetooth.patch

and it's ftp://152.104.238.194/cn/nic/r1000_v1.05.tgz that get stuck.

noriko · 2007-02-11 23:32:19

well i dunno where to get it from.
google is useless here.
but the host is down as of 23:31 GMT
#nmap static-ip-194-238-104-152.anlai.com
Nmap finished: 1 IP address (0 hosts up) scanned in 3.100 seconds

I hda the same problem, but google worked fine. Searched for r100_v1.05.tgz and found this:

ftp://61.56.86.122/cn/nic/r1000_v1.05.tgz

It works fine for me
Although you only need this patch if you need that driver...
