freesource e216305685 mtd modules for initrd 2002-12-16 03:42:12 +00:00
freesource 580d55a40a Have the whole uml kernel, modules, tools, and genext2fs properly
compiling now that a new binutils was installed.  Now need to make the
helper_root_fs and Initrd with the uml kernel which was just made and
should be just about there.  This will all be done as non-root.  And
finally need to adjust gbootroot_pkg so all the new compiled stuff can
be extracted in their proper place, ofcourse, this could be done in
the Makefile, too.

freesource 18f002f6fc On the way to a true automated src package. 2002-12-14 17:54:41 +00:00
freesource 7df8826e1e Made linux, linuxbr to avoid overlapping with other packages, ofcource
this could be made a variable, too, in BootRoot.pm.
2002-12-12 06:56:00 +00:00
freesource 51f4ad4f2c Making the source package accurate. 2002-12-12 01:10:26 +00:00

freesource 81051244ae Just properly orders --help a little 2002-12-11 18:54:16 +00:00
freesource 953854a5a4 This gets everything working properly. Now --home works properly both
for gui-mode and cli, and all executables can be properly specified.

Ex:

./gbootroot --home . --template Example-Mini.yard --uml-exclusively on
--expect-program ./expect_uml
--uml-kerneluser-mode-linux/usr/bin/linux --root-fs-helper
root_filesystem/root_fs_helper

./gbootroot --home . --template Example-Mini.yard --genext2fs-dir
genext2fs/ --filesystem-command "genext2fs -z -r0"
2002-12-11 18:45:36 +00:00
freesource 29e9e73202 This allows adds the kernel option for UML in expect_uml, it's amazing
what you find when you remove the system package.  Getting closer.

freesource 6ad8077da8 documented genext2fs-dir 2002-12-08 23:01:45 +00:00
freesource 4c90daea57 Changed linuxbr to linux, may ultimately change it to linux so it doesn't
conflict with user-mode-linux, need to check on the set-up. Probably gbootroot
should be made to conflict with these deb packages.  Options has more
explanation and another hidden option added.
2002-11-20 06:18:00 +00:00
freesource 8827b1b0d4 Some even more elaborate changes so that the gui can be ran from the immediate
directory for testing using only the --home option.  Also, made sure genext2fs
can be found.
2002-11-20 06:13:56 +00:00
freesource 705d8a7856 Now there are some hidden options so that root_fs can be made from the
programs from within the source code like:

perl -I . ./gbootroot --home . --template Helper.yard --root-filename root_fs_experiment --root-fs-helper-location ./root_filesystem/root_fs_helper --uml-exclusively on --expect-program ./expect_uml
2002-11-18 19:52:46 +00:00
freesource bfed2bb88f This corrects nss_check so that the proper version from libc6 is recognized
for nss libraries.  Hopefully, this corrects problems for even newer libc6
versions in the future.
2002-11-18 17:48:54 +00:00
freesource 578ddd6dd2 Now things are working perfectly. Had to add a last statement to the while
wrapper for expect_uml, this is a new bug.  And added preserve-permissions.
2002-11-17 04:01:23 +00:00
freesource 7727285976 Didn't do a save. 2002-11-14 19:51:09 +00:00
freesource b78a85686f This add --help|-h and the corresponding text. Just need to get uml-exlusively
working properly
2002-11-14 19:49:12 +00:00
freesource 407879252c Changed stdout to no-stdout so that stdout is the default, but can be turned
off, and fixed a major bug with undef value used in dirname which caused to
program to die.
2002-11-14 08:38:41 +00:00
freesource 82374d0388 Just some minor changes. 2002-11-14 08:22:56 +00:00
freesource f960c66fcb This gets just about every option working, except for uml-kernel and
preserve-ownership.  Adds color --stdout.  Basically, the bare min is
--template and --stdout for display on console.
2002-11-14 08:21:18 +00:00
freesource 2f4e1cdcc6 This gets read_contents_file working, hopefully error() is the only gtk related
sub to watch out for.
2002-11-14 04:37:08 +00:00
freesource 830a1c109a Now gbootroot is functioning well as either a GUI or CLI in relation to whether or not arguments are added. Options.pm allows things to be checked before interpreting so that a determination can be made what mode to go in. 2002-11-14 00:54:50 +00:00
freesource 8db50ec6ac This adds some more doc, and begins to explore GetOpt, unfortunately it's presently going into an endless loop when there is an incorrect opt. 2002-11-11 08:04:12 +00:00
freesource 79631e765c Planning documentaion for variables for commandline. 2002-11-10 05:21:06 +00:00
freesource 9de07f7f5e This is the start of giving gbootroot some commandline functionality similar to
bootroot, but more specific with the primary goal of allowing root_fs
prototyping without the use of the GUI.

freesource 133a74cc51 more mem revision. 2002-03-13 19:40:43 +00:00
freesource d077def592 Improved the parameter explanation .. ramdisk_size really wasn't crucial, and
removed mem=16M as a default, first of all this is already standard, and secondly
it may cause problems for users unaware of the MTD Emulators default settings.
2002-03-13 19:21:49 +00:00
freesource a5da598dab Devfs both mount and nomount can be used, this was already in the initrd .. oops. 2002-03-13 05:54:30 +00:00
freesource feaa5201af Didn't mention the addition of mkfs.jffs*, also improved the explanation for the
way the mechanism works.

freesource 59c8a5333e This only checks Root_Fs for $ubd0, which makes a lot more sense and avoides
unecessary duplications.
2002-03-11 17:25:01 +00:00

freesource 2e41744e08 This makes for a better regexp .. will also match "/sbin/init 2" for mtd_init 2002-03-11 03:10:51 +00:00
freesource 95a444f619 Just a sp mistake. 2002-03-11 02:44:10 +00:00

freesource a1db0380d4 This should be pretty obviously, however, this provides some good information

freesource 55e19f94fe changes. 2002-03-09 07:20:41 +00:00
freesource a85e9bcc99 A variety of improvements, like giving the module the device number, allowing for
ubd\d{1}\w?.
2002-03-09 06:59:39 +00:00
freesource 24897ac61e This goes a step farther an allows ubd to be ubd\d{1] rather then confined to
1, however, mtd and mtdblock will be 0 for the first module invocation.
2002-03-09 06:50:27 +00:00
freesource 80ebd88aef This allow ubd0\w?, this works with mtdram, but causes blkmtd to fail. 2002-03-09 06:00:07 +00:00
freesource 86f767a446 Yard won't attempt to make /dev on compressed fs and ro if /dev is a symbolic
link, won't complain when there is an unitialized value in concatation in
Boot,  Ramdisk_size is always 4096 for mtdram, this setting isn't really
necessary, but is left anyways.
2002-03-09 01:47:24 +00:00
freesource 667eacca73 This adds devfs=nomount capability. 2002-03-08 18:56:16 +00:00
freesource 13489b4fb0 This checks for chroot, makes sure that dev exists, and makes both dev and
initrd in the correct location.  The /mnt path is checked for chroot, and
passed to CHROOT.
2002-03-08 08:00:15 +00:00
freesource a53fb8d51b Explains how chroot must be on the root_fs if it is going to boot properly. 2002-03-08 07:39:07 +00:00
freesource 4da04f8623 This adds ceil() to $total_size, and always makes sure that ramdisk_size is
at least 4096.
2002-03-08 07:35:32 +00:00
freesource bf4200e3c5 Fixed a little bug where initrd= wasn't being passed. Everythings looks good
with the default Initrd.gz.

freesource 26e513978e Updates to 2.4.18-2um 2002-03-08 03:40:18 +00:00
freesource 02b0abcb24 This updates to 2.4.18-2um, probably the most stable version of uml I have
used yet, it doesn't even exhibit compiler weirdisms.
2002-03-08 03:39:51 +00:00
freesource f44e152b17 This is a new tool for making TUN/TAP interfaces persistent and non-persistent.
Basically, to allow an adm to assign a tap device to a user, but not allowing
a user to change any aspects of the host side of the interface .. anotherwards
uml_net isn't required.
2002-03-08 03:33:06 +00:00
freesource b92a56e7b3 This adds Initrd.gz. 2002-03-08 02:48:12 +00:00
freesource 6cb5dc270a This is technically a root fs, so putting it in this directory. This is
the special initrd used by the mtd emulator, and this specific one is
designed for 2.4.18-2um.

freesource cae5a30a21 Documentation for MTD. 2002-03-07 18:55:25 +00:00
freesource ecc03b1980 This completes the init and mtd_init recognization .. added single. 2002-03-07 17:54:23 +00:00
freesource 967df903ea This adds the mtd_init option to the kernel command-line so that the
pivot_root routine can be interacted with, and also checks for alternative
runlevels, all assigned to $init.
2002-03-07 07:27:10 +00:00
freesource 74dd88069a This is even nicer. It gives both mtdram and blkmtd the same memory parameters
for mem.  Just have to watch out for that nasty cramfsck by Linus.
2002-03-07 03:45:11 +00:00
freesource fadcb89061 More mem adjustments, this time to the spin wheel, 1024 for 1, 8192 for 2,
these are great setting for mtdram .. <16M files can use the small adj.
>16M should zero down with 3 and increment with 2nd button.
2002-03-07 03:16:46 +00:00
freesource 30a11e4bf2 A few more improvements to the mtd code to handle memory better 16M increments
for mtdram, will probably do a similiar thing for blkmtd which appears to be
exponential 16 32 64 etc .. ofcourse at 128 things can get narly.
2002-03-07 02:55:32 +00:00
freesource 6b3eda4286 This pretty much covers it, have both mtdram and blkmtd working, just need to
figure out where Initrd.gz will be stored.
2002-03-06 20:30:06 +00:00
freesource 7fcb2ca973 Worked out lots of issues with mem, even using POSIX, tested well for mtdram,
interface is almost there.
2002-03-06 07:40:33 +00:00
freesource 07694a9bf1 This sets up everything, and tests the new mtd interface, looks good. 2002-03-06 03:55:19 +00:00
freesource d87f6a9cdd Added the correct options for mkfs.jffs. 2002-03-05 19:04:02 +00:00
freesource f7921951e1 This keeps a nice size ration for $mtd_total_size, and automatically checks if
the root_fs is real.
2002-03-05 07:20:58 +00:00
freesource ff5458de18 This uses the defaults for jffs/jffs2 properly, when nothing is added to the cli. 2002-03-05 05:25:26 +00:00
freesource 4553498916 The newest look with the MTD emulator. 2002-03-05 00:23:16 +00:00

freesource 9de4fc1d56 Remembers state for the new mtd emulation. 2002-03-04 20:33:19 +00:00
freesource 935b5983c8 Added a MTD emulation line to the UML box and some functionality. 2002-03-04 19:32:18 +00:00
freesource bf98923042 This properly deals with differening mconsole locations. 2002-03-04 17:48:30 +00:00
freesource 802f6eef91 Info about the staging behavior for non-loop devices .. Create is all that
is necessary now, added ext3, jffs, and jff2 to fs which can be created.
2002-03-04 02:21:09 +00:00
freesource bed7b35c12 Documents the cad command. 2002-03-04 02:07:24 +00:00
freesource 896f2a9519 Added cad "Ctrl-Alt-Del" to mconsole interface, and documented it.
Now looks for mconsole at both old location /tmp/uml/$umid/mconsole and
new location $ENV{HOME}/.uml/$umid/mconsole.
2002-03-04 02:06:58 +00:00
freesource 93b5f23410 Now files for uml_exclusively are made in create_expect_uml which is
effectively known as the create stage.  This avoids the unecessary previous
requirement of having to select the copy stage again just to create a file
for /dev/ubd/0.  The file created is sparse, got this idea from a discussion
Jeff had with a user on uml-user.
2002-03-01 05:45:46 +00:00
freesource 9c2a97b875 Provides default behavior, and user defined which over-rides. 2002-02-22 02:22:26 +00:00
freesource d2fb7540f3 This adds jffs/jffs2 construction, expect_uml will have to be changed a little
bit more, but have tested this with an initrd, and it works pretty nicely
even with large fs assuming mem is set high enough.  Mtdram was chosen over
blkmtd for now.
2002-02-21 18:49:14 +00:00

freesource 40813ffde7 Things to make 1.3.5 a much happier application. Hopefully, the patch will
be integrated into UML.
