Hi,
These are my first steps in 64bit land and have a problem with setting
up FAI
I've installed a 64 bit kernel on a 32 bit system (Dell PE1850). I then
created a 64 bit chroot on the system. In the chroot I then compiled a
64 bit kernel.
In the same chroot I have then created a fai nfsroot with with that kernel.
Now when booting from that nfsroot it stops on the following error:
request_module: runaway loop modprobe binfmt-464c
I'm using a 2.6.16.20 kernel in that nfsroot.
What can I do to solve this problem?
What about this thread:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-amd64/2004/01/msg00129.html
The thread suggests:
- ... another module was necessary (System V IPC in my case) ...
- Kernel support for ELF binaries
- IA32 bit emulation
=> are all compiled in my kernel
If I install that kernel on an other 64 bit system, it boots fine. Only
when it's installed in the FAI nfsroot it doesn't work.
I'm going to try this now
# function make() { /usr/bin/make ARCH="x86_64" HOSTCC="gcc -m32" "$@"; }
# export -f make
# export UNAME_MACHINE="x86_64"
I'll post my results...
