Ping,
I've seen similar problems before when trying to build a kernel. We
had them on the 7.0 release. The kernel would build correctly, but we
could not run init on the client. The solution was that glibc and gcc were
both backlevel. I have not done any work on 7.2, but my guess is that if
you update both gcc and glibc from the RedHat web site, it will change the
character of the problem -- at least you should get past the init problem.
My feeling is that when RH does a release that the compiler and libraries
are not properly working, and while you can install your workstation it's
difficult to do development right out of the box.
Let the mailing list know once you've updated to the latest glibc and
gcc and see if the init problem still persists... Rich

Subject: [Oscar-users] tagged image for Red Hat 7.2
Hi everybody,
Happy New Year! One of my new year resolution is that
OSCAR will flourish and be very useful for many situations
in year 2002.
Okay, business as usual. 8)
I understand that porting OSCAR to Red Hat 7.2 is not high
priority, but since my lab recently decided to move from
Red Hat 6.2 to 7.2, I have to use 7.2. Christmas is not a holiday
here in far east so I took my entire holiday season working on
porting OSCAR 1.1 to Red Hat 7.2. 8) When this works I'll start
playing with OSCAR 1.2 because I have to have a working cluster first.
Basically I did the following modifications:
1. Manually install TkTcl (rpm -i --nodep) before install_cluster.
Otherwise install_cluster will fail because TkTcl depends on
/bin/perl, /usr/bin/perl and /usr/local/bin/perl
but only /usr/bin/perl exists on RH 7.2.
2. I migrated the sample.rpmlist.71 to RH 7.2 by replacing
RPMs with their counterparts in RH 7.2. 409 of 425 rpms
found their place in RH 7.2. The rest are left out.
3. I tried to make a tagged image for RH 7.2 by moving
luikernel.config.242 to /usr/src/linux-2.4.7-10/.config
and perform the usual kernel compilation make sequence
make oldconfig (answer 24 questions)
(manually turn off RISCOM8 and E100 here)
make dep; make bzImage
and use
mknbi-linux --ip=rom --output=/tftpboot/vmlinuz bzImage
to produce a tagged image. Rebooting the client goes
well up to the point
Freeing unused kernel memory: xxxK
then it hung. It seems the kernel could not fork "init".
The NFS-root seems fine, though.
I tried various kernel configurations but each has different
problems. Oh, by the way, the vmlinuz of OSCAR 1.1 boots
okay but it complains about "can't find /lib/modules/2.2.17/..."
during init and the boot fails.
Any tips on how to make a tagged image work for Red Hat 7.2
is appreciated. Thanks!
Regards,
Ping
