Bug#591016: flash-kernel: /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/flash_kernel_set_root mis-detects root filesystems for systems using ubifs
* Daniel Kahn Gillmor d...@fifthhorseman.net [2010-07-31 10:34]: i also note that there is no command in flash-kernel for the guruplug to actually write the kernel to NAND storage -- it generates uImage and uInitrd, but does not store them to /dev/mtd1 as i'd expect something like: nandwrite /dev/mtd1 /boot/uImage Right. The reason my initial response to your bug report was maybe was because I'm not sure at this moment how we should handle installations to NAND. There are at leat three options: - Creating a combined uboot image (i.e. kernel plus ramdisk) and writing that to NAND. There's probably not enough space in mtd1 for this, though. - Given that ubifs support is built in, we could just write the kernel to NAND. - A third alternative is to simply generate the uKernel and uInitrd files on disk (i.e. ubifs in this case) and use u-boot to load them from ubifs (u-boot from mainline has support for this). I'm sort of leaning towards the last option since it's imho the cleanest variant. (The first one probably doesn't work because of size constraints and the second assumes that ubifs is built in, which I won't guarantee will be the case in the future.) But this is a slightly different issue than the one you reported in this bug. In any case, given that I'm leaning towards the third alternative, I should definitely fix the bug you reported, not just maybe. ;-) -- Martin Michlmayr http://www.cyrius.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: late_command to get user entered password
[William Belanger] Is the password blanked out to prevent someone printing it out? Yes. The late_command part is executed in finish-install.d/07preseed, while the user setup is in finish-install.d/06user-setup, and the passwords are cleared just after user. To get access to the user password, you would have to either put a hook in pre-pkgsel.d or earlier in finish-install.d. Using late_command is not going to work.

* Sandro Tosi mo...@debian.org, 2010-06-09, 22:19:
One of the changes brought by Python 2.6 is the removal of string
exceptions, so they won't work in Python 2.6 (just a side note: they
were also buggy before, since they were not guaranteed to work
reliable even in 2.6); as an example:
$ python2.5 -c raise 'eggs'
-c:1: DeprecationWarning: raising a string exception is deprecated
Traceback (most recent call last):
File string, line 1, in module
eggs
$ python2.6 -c raise 'eggs'
Traceback (most recent call last):
File string, line 1, in module
TypeError: exceptions must be old-style classes or derived from BaseException,
not str
The attached patch fixes these bugs.
