Dear Debian Kernel Team,
I have built a Debian/Wheezy filesystem, starting with
debootstrap, for a diskless single-board computer (MVME7100 from
Emerson) featuring a Freescale MPC864xD SOC (dual core PowerPC
e600).
The kernel version is 2.6.29. It is not compatible with the
version of udev distributed with Wheezy; therefore udev is not
installed. Since the board does not feature virtual consoles, but
only a serial console, I have also removed console-kit and the few
packages which depend on it, notably policy-kit.
The filesystem is nfs-mounted during an initramfs sequence which
terminates by a switchroot. Then the Debian "make-like" init starts.
There are some special features because the filesystem must be
shared between several identical hosts. /run is mounted as tmpfs,
and /var/lib is partly shared/partly common, by the means of soft
links created during initialization. For example /var/lib/ntp is
private to every host, while /var/lib/dpkg is shared.
Up to now everything installs well, except nfs-common. I have
installed and removed it, then reinstalled. When it is installed, I
can still mount remote filesystems but the init script does not
work, which means that /home cannot be mounted automatically at
boot. Here is the log of installation:
apcdc3:/etc/init.d# apt-get install

After this operation, 687 kB of additional disk space
will be used.

Errors were encountered while processing:

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
Any clue or any way to debug? BTW, I do not mean to use NFS V4;
just V3.
Thanks.
