Hey Guys,

But I'm willing to 'sacrifice' one of my USB sticks to make
tests in the 3 or 4 different machines I have access that
can do boot from USB, and yes, that includes some hp servers :)

I'll 'sacrifice' a few USB drives as well - if needed.

Hi

forgot an important issue... 

The problem is normally related to CHS BIOS translation and I think
it all depends on the USB stick size.

Luis,
I think backing up your USB drive's MBR using dd should avoid any
sacrifice. It should probably be a recommended first step.

Something like:
dd if=/dev/usb device of=originial-mbr-usb.dd bs=512k count=1

 Excellent. :-)

The makebootfat utility that was mentioned previously should be able to 
do that.  According to their docs:


   The BIOS USB boot support is generally differentiated
   in three categories: USB-HDD, USB-FDD and USB-ZIP.

   The USB-HDD (Hard Disk Drive) standard is the preferred
   choice [...]

   [...]

   Generally these standards are incompatible, but using
   the -m, -F and -Z options you can create a disk compatible
   with all of them.

Sounds interesting, eh?

Here is another instruction set. They even have instructions for Windows

 I also found the Knopperdisk project's hybrid approach to support for
 older systems interesting. It seems they boot using a floppy+usb
 arrangement. We've done things similar to that in the past with,
 dual-floppy, pxe, and your apkg. Combining Venki's linux 2.6 kernel with
 this approach is interesting to ponder.

David,
With usb-hdd, we should be able to take a look at initramfs again.
TinyGentoo did already.

[Fwd: 2.4 vs 2.6 [WAS: Re: [leaf-devel] lwp (webconf) packages]]

2006-03-17 Thread Venki Iyer


Missed the cc: earlier ...


---BeginMessage---



2.4 is fine as-is: people using it for production systems are not likely 
to move off it for a long time (if ever). You have it, it works, there's 
little impetus in general to move to anything else, with all the 
additional effort/risk/cost involved.


In my particular case, this was a project requirement for various 
reasons - the boxes needed to be dropped off at remote locations and 
forgotten about (maintenance-wise) for the next 10 years, most 
new/custom hardware cards are targeting 2.6 rather than 2.4, and the 
trajectory of 2.4 is that of maintenance, while 2.6 is still seeing 
improvements/enhancements.
The reason for ruling out uclibc in this case was that there was a 
significant software stack above the OS, and it was lower risk to use 
libc rather than uclibc/diet/pick your low-fat libc here.


The reason for not using embedded Debian or Redhat or even something 
like M0n0wall or something else based on ipkg? There was a large legacy 
code base that was Bering/LRP based.


Hope that helps,

-Venki

sounds interesting.

I'd like to ask, what's your experience using a 2.6 kernel compared to a 2.4

I've read that some network cards are slower with 2.6 - maybe that's solved 
today.


What's the benefit, what does a 2.6 kernel provide you miss on a 2.4 kernel?

Hi Mike,

The problem with this kind of tools is that they expect a real USB-key
available with a certain size. The problem is that we need to create and
image where a few aspects are uncertain:
-The size of the usb-key (Mbytes)
-Geometry

We need a generic tool which creates a bootable image that can be
installed on any USB key.

IIRC, a USB keys can be formatted as a floppy type device (ie: one

It should be possible to make an image that has an HDD partition table

This should make it unnecessary to know the size of the USB key (as long

shouldn't generally be a problem...the CHS geometry of the FAT
filesystem is essentially embedded in the partition table, so would be
written when the image is burned onto the USB key.

 I have.   If you have time, please search the mailing lists for the words

 with classic Bering as well.

Nathan,
I remember most of the devel list conversation, and the last mention was
in Aug 2005. That's over a year without mentioning it on our devel list.

   Please don't blame lack of exposure on the bering-uClibc crew.] 

I'm not blaming anyone.

 Not that you asked, but here's my $0.02.  There are a number of reasons why 
 development has been slow, but here's one idea:
 
 A) its hard work

Agreed.

 B) there's no reward... I believe in ego as being a factor for OS 
 development, and right now there's no place for a budding webconf developer 
 to put his creation on the leaf site for the world to see.

This is my fault. I'm working on the issue, but I'm tasked with fixing
our docbook build process first.

 I've had a number of conversations (see the mailing lists) with people who 
 want to write a lwp, and the only place we have for them to put their work 
 right now is in my devel cvs tree.   

That is something KP can address, or they can contact me to join us.

 To work on a project, then have it stored under someone else's name, buried 
 in 
 a cvs archive with no link to the homepage doesn't have the same reward as 
 working on OpenWRT, posting your ipkg and letting the world see it.

This seems directed at our cvs structure, website, and indirectly at me.
I'll say this again,Our branch sites are under the control of their
lead developer. The only two that are under my direct supervision are
our hub and devel branch.

I implemented some advanced features on our website that caused an ease
of use issue. Specifically, I have our site serving pages to capable
browsers as application/xhtml+xml (see firefox page info). The problem
is any content submitted by a user that isn't well formed xhtml will
render the page unreadable. Fixing the problem isn't trivial. :-(

This is why I haven't opened up the devel branch to our
developers for modification.

 Even in OpenWRT, web configuration is slow - so I think it proves the hard 
 work bit. :-)

:-)

 rant To get to these links, I went to http://leaf.sourceforge.net - 
 Developers (box at top) - Angelacos, Nathan (What's Related Box) - Webconf 
 (UI Box)  Not exactly where I would look it I wanted to develop a web 
 interface for LEAF /rant

I agree. I thought this content was incorporated into the bering-uclibc
documentation. :-(

 Mike, please don't take this as personal criticism against the leaf website - 
 we all appreciate what you ARE able to do, I'm just making an honest 
 observation, based on the early interest I had seen in the web interface, and 
 what had happened to many of the developers.

Understood. I make mistakes, and all I can do is try to learn from them.
If I had it to do over again, I would have never implemented
application/xhtml+xml on a working phpWebSite without tidylib available.

I hope installing mediawiki will alleviate most of these issues. It'll
give everyone a place for content. Greg Morgan is familiar with what
mediawiki can do, and can answer questions better than I can.

To get things going: can you make a link from the mainpage to the lwp
development documentation in the Bering-uClibc section? Also it would be
nice if the contents of Nathan's CVS space could be moved to a more
generic place (I think we need Kp for this).

Some other questions to the list:
-Is someone willing to put effort in creating lwp (webconf) plugin packages?
-Does someone know how to create an image which can be installed on a
USB-flash key? Is there some sort of tool (GPL) available which creates
such an image and/or makes a flash disk bootable?

I think an article for the hub is in order. That would give links and

to compose the announcement.

This would be the same sort of setup we would use:

Either location is acceptable. I think it might be easier to keep the

I'm ok with it;  although it should probably be combined with Eric's 
suggestion of leaf/bin/config/webconf

That way a developer could also upload a binary lwp (or lrp, yes, there are 
webconf lrps)   



If anyone has suggestions for what you are looking for in webconf 
developers, I'll be happy to collect the ideas and draft a request for

 This would be the same sort of setup we would use:
 fdisk the pendrive, make it bootable, copy the contents, syslinux it and
 edit some files. This is no image setup and that's where I'm looking
 after.

Eric,
Ok. I'll see if I can locate something.

 That way a developer could also upload a binary lwp (or lrp, yes, there are

Nathan,
Ah. I missed the bin/ in Eric's post. Not something that I'd have missed
before. :-(

How about,

leaf/bin/config/webconf

-and-

leaf/src/config/webconf/lwp

Everyone,
I just created this directory. CVS avail configuration is pending
developer suggestions/comments.


 -and-
 
 leaf/src/config/webconf/lwp

Avail states that any of the following people plus our project admins
can add a directory to src/config/webconfig:

avail|arneb, dorus, espakman, hejl, hun, lfcorreia,
nangel|src/config/webconf

 Just a question.

Eric,
It depends on who we want to grant write access to in avail. Existing
binary lwp packages, already stored elsewhere in our repository, will
require SF staff intervention (via SR) to move.

 I can take care of the ones that are in my devel area. (That would be all of 
 them, AFAIK)

Eric  Nathan,
I just gave write access in our new bin directory to the webconf team.
Please let me know if you require further changes. Thanks.

Venki;

sounds interesting.

I'd like to ask, what's your experience using a 2.6 kernel compared to a 2.4 
kernel for a router?
 
I've read that some network cards are slower with 2.6 - maybe that's solved 
today.

What's the benefit, what does a 2.6 kernel provide you miss on a 2.4 kernel?

just curious

KP,
I think Tom Eastep might have a list of a few benefits of kernel 2.6
over 2.4 for firewalls. Ray and Charles may have some insights on the
embedded side.

Others with kernel 2.6 routing and embedded experience please jump in.
Thanks.
