They're not needed to boot rootfs. I think mouse modules can be loaded in early initscripts. Keyboard drivers can be loaded in initscripts too, but before fs check (I guess it's the first time they are needed). As you said, we can store a list of needed modules in a config file, WDYT of /etc/sysconfig/mouse ? Here's roughly how I would do it, in a initscript loaded early: *** if /etc/sysconfig/mouse doesn't exist: MODULES = all available modules else MODULES = `cat /etc/sysconfig/mouse` LOADED = '' for m in MODULES: try to load module m if it succeeds, add m to LOADED list if /etc/sysconfig/mouse exists and no module was loaded: retry from beginning with all available modules # if it fails again: #what to do here ? write LOADED to /etc/sysconfig/mouse *** With this approach, it will try to load only needed modules (the one that were successfully loaded at last boot), and if it fails, it tries to load every available modules (should not happen very often, only at first boot or when mouse is replaced). Shall I start to write this initscript or is it bad ? / does it need tweaking ? -- Olivier Blin

[Cooker] status of cramfs initrd in 2.6
Hi, I've made some tests this night to reduce the size of 2.6 kernel. I've modularized almost all that can be (except IDE, mouse and keyboard). vmlinuz is now a bit less than 1.3 Megabytes. Compiling ext2 as a module would save us about 70 more kilobytes. ext2 module is 79k, cramfs takes 13k when builtin. A cramfs initrd is slightly larger than a ext2 initrd (about 2k). So I patched mkinitrd and make-initrd to allow to build cramfs initrd. (patchs included in this mail). For now, the kernel can't load directly cramfs initrd (because the code doesn't recognize cramfs magic number), but it can load gzipped cramfs initrd (because the code can recognize a gzip file). Well, a patch has been made (by Debian ?) and is included in Debian kernel, but we don't care much since we can (theorically) load gzip cramfs. (I've extracted the patch from Debian's messy patch, it is included too in this mail). But when I try to boot with a gzipped cramfs initrd, the kernel can gunzip the initrd but fails to mount it as ramfs, sys_mount("/dev/root.old","/root","cramfs", ...) exits with EINVAL code. Strangly enough, I can mount the initrd correctly once the kernel is booted up (in this case, I use a ext2 initrd, ext2 and cramfs are builtin). Should I ask about it on lkml ? -- Olivier Blin mkinitrd.cramfs.patch Description: Binary data make-initrd.cramfs.patch Description: Binary data do_mounts_rd.c.cramfs.patch Description: Binary data

Well, no, I may be wrong. If we build IDE chipset as modules, they will be initialized when the module is loaded, this shouldn't hurt if the module is in initrd.

[Cooker] kernel 2.6 with bootsplash and fixed IDE
Hi I've built a new release of 2.6-test9 with bootsplash support (yeah), fixed framebuffer (CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE=y, not m) and built-in ide chipsets support. As kenobi is down and the upload script is broken, all my packages were lost during upload from klama, I've kept the up package before my upload attempt, you can find it here : http://compil.mandrake.org/~blino/kernel-2.6/ Changelog : * Thu Nov 13 2003 Olivier Blin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 2.6.0-0.test9.6mdk - add bootsplash patch (patch3) - builtin console framebuffer (CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE=y) - builtin ide chipsets What would you like to have in next release ? -- Olivier Blin

I guess it will be ready some months before next release, as well as proxy support (which is almost done, I only need to patch stage2 now). I know how to do it, I just need some time to code and test. BTW, we should use the same user agent in urpmi : "User-Agent: DrakX/vivelinuxabaszindozs" ;) I've lot of things pending.

Oups, it wasn't Andrew as I said but Alan Cox. It's quite old, but seems still true. Acutally, it's ide-proc that doesn't compile. A patch has been sent, but Alan waits the IDE code to be stable enough. (as you can read on LKML, Ali support looks really buggy ...) More details can be found here : http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=103281667726673&w=2 http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0306.0/0003.html But this problem can be avoided if we keep IDE support built-in (CONFIG_IDE=y, CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE=y).

You're welcome, it took me five minutes :) Can we assume that the module size is roughly the same size as if it was built-in ? I'll try to build some kernels to have a preview of the minimal size we can get. I can provide you the kernel config files from Fedora, made by Arjan van de Ven, his kernel is only 1.2 MiB IIRC. I've to work on kernel-2.6-source package too, I don't really know how I'll do it, perhaps a main kernel-2.6-source package with additionnals kernel-2.6-source- binary packages that conflicts between them.

Ok, you're using a VIA82CXXX IDE chipset. I've set CONFIG_BLK_DEV_VIA82CXXX=m in test9.5mdk, but, as Andrey pointed out, ide chipsets won't even load in current 2.6 state.

As Tim replied to you, you need to disable framebuffer (vga=normal in lilo.conf) to see messages at boot. Bootsplash doesn't work currently with kernel 2.6, I hope somebody (perhaps me) will port it soon to 2.6, but we need a working vesa framebuffer before. Thanks for your report :) -- Olivier Blin

Nice, but I guess it will work only with the smp package (because that is the last one that is built before kernel-source is built ...)

If I add the following lines at the beginning of my /linuxrc in initrd image, it boots fine with ext3 as a module : echo "Loading jbd.ko module" insmod /lib/jbd.ko So the problem may/must be in mkinitrd. I'm working on it. In the meantime, you can use these instructions (as root) to build a correct initrd and run test9.2mdk : cp /boot/initrd-2.6.0-0.test9.2mdk.img initrd-2.6-test9.2mdk.gz gunzip initrd-2.6-test9.2mdk.gz mkdir initrd-2.6-test9 mount initrd-2.6-test9.2mdk initrd-2.6-test9 -o loop my_favourite_editor_aka_emacs initrd-2.6-test9/linuxrc # add the 2 lines to load jbd after #!/bin/nash umount initrd-2.6-test9 gzip initrd-2.6-test9.2mdk cp initrd-2.6-test9.2mdk.gz /boot/initrd-2.6.0-0.test9.2mdk.img lilo # or install any other boot loader Regards -- Olivier Blin

I don't really know how to track this error, this occurs very early. I've noticed that the jbd module wasn't included in the initrd, isn't it needed by the ext3 module ?

To include screenshots or pictures from http sources in packages, it would be nice to add a new Picture tag in rpms. For example, the OpenOffice.org package could have the following tags : Picture0: http://www.openoffice.org/product/pix/box.png Picture1: http://www.openoffice.org/product/pix/writer-big.png Picture2: http://www.openoffice.org/product/pix/calc-big.png The pictures could be saved in a cache directory, what do you think of /var/cache/urpmi/pictures/// ? For people who do not have a broadband connection, a checkbox would allow them not to download screenshots. For them, a package with thumbnails of screenshots in cache could be created just before final release. Such a package would perhaps be too huge. Pictures could be shared between packages, for example for xine and all its libs or devel packages. -- Olivier Blin
