Hi all! I wanted to add aic7xxx support in the boot kernel (I don't know if it should have been loaded automatically as a module, but it did not do so) but I was not able to boot because the kernel did not send any bootp requests.
To be sure I did not misconfigure my kernel, I took a fresh vanilla 2.2.19, copied /usr/lib/fai/nfsroot/boot/config-2.2.19 to .config, made menuconfig to create config.h and compiled this kernel, which I put in place of the old one in /usr/lib/fai/nfsroot/boot/. Then I make-fai-floppy. But the result is the same. (an extract of the .config : [...] # # Networking options # CONFIG_PACKET=m CONFIG_NETLINK=y # CONFIG_RTNETLINK is not set CONFIG_NETLINK_DEV=m # CONFIG_FIREWALL is not set CONFIG_FILTER=y CONFIG_UNIX=m CONFIG_INET=y CONFIG_IP_MULTICAST=y # CONFIG_IP_ADVANCED_ROUTER is not set CONFIG_IP_PNP=y # CONFIG_IP_PNP_DHCP is not set CONFIG_IP_PNP_BOOTP=y # CONFIG_IP_PNP_RARP is not set # CONFIG_IP_ROUTER is not set # CONFIG_NET_IPIP is not set CONFIG_NET_IPGRE=m # CONFIG_NET_IPGRE_BROADCAST is not set # CONFIG_IP_MROUTE is not set # CONFIG_IP_ALIAS is not set # CONFIG_SYN_COOKIES is not set CONFIG_INET_RARP=m CONFIG_SKB_LARGE=y CONFIG_IPV6=m # CONFIG_IPV6_EUI64 is not set [...] ) Any Idea ? Btw, I tried to apt-get source fai-kernel. the I option is used in tar and it should be -j : [...] tar Ixf /usr/src/kernel-source-2.2.19.tar.bz2 tar: Warning: the -I option is not supported; perhaps you meant -j or -T? Try `tar --help' for more information. make: *** [unpack-stamp] Error 2 for iinfo, here it is : deneb:/tmp/fai-kernels-1.1.3$ find -type f | xargs grep "tar Ixf" ./debian/rules: tar Ixf /usr/src/$(kname).tar.bz2 Thanks. -- Philippe Biondi <pbi@ cartel-info.fr> Cartel Informatique Security Consultant/R&D http://www.cartel-info.fr Phone: +33 1 44 06 97 94 Fax: +33 1 44 06 97 99 PGP KeyID:3D9A43E2 FingerPrint:C40A772533730E39330DC0985EE8FF5F3D9A43E2
