From bcef76cf2396f412519d4e2db3346a516ba76cf4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: freesource Date: Wed, 13 Feb 2002 06:47:16 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Changes, and soon to come changes. --- Changes | 30 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 30 insertions(+) diff --git a/Changes b/Changes index 14debe1..f8196c0 100644 --- a/Changes +++ b/Changes @@ -1,3 +1,33 @@ + +** not yet +Now the templated called Helper.yard used to create the root_fs_helper is +included with root_fs_helper. + +Root_fs_helper was working fine, but because I hadn't committed, let alone +copied the new changes to CVS I didn't notice any aberrations until I +installed the new released version of gbootroot. This is related to the new +securretty requirements of uml. Problem fixed. + +*** Better check on this below +Initrd was not working with any fs other than ext2. After +contacting the trinux-uml project, Matthew Franz confirmed +that he was having problems creating a working uml for the initrd created +by Bill Burdick . I talked Bill into sending +me his uml .config, and narrowed down the problem to cramfs. Cramfs has +known bugs as documented in the kernel sources. Because cramfs was placed +before just about every fs in the VFS check order, and trinux-uml's initrd +was minix, the kernel failed, but an ext2 initrd didn't. Changing the order +in which filesystems are checked during the VFS stage by editing fs/Makefile +solves the problem. Thanks for Henrik Nordstrom for +pointing out how to do this at user-mode-linux-devel. I am hoping the patch +I posted at -devel becomes part of uml. This should have been corrected +ages ago in the standard Linux kernel. +** not yet + +Removed unecessary warning which warned that left-hand side replacements +couldn't be a directory if it happened to find that directory on the hostfs. +Directories can be replacements. + 1.3.4 - 02/08/2002 ------------------
