<crispinf> Keybuk: ping ?
<Keybuk> hello
<crispinf> Keybuk: so I re-booted today, and ran the UDEVD_LOG=info thing, and did the echo > /sys/class/scsi_device/0:0:0:0/device/uevent again
<Keybuk> right
<crispinf> basically, that did nothing - I have 4 lines from udevd and udevd-event
<crispinf> however ...
<crispinf> echo > /sys/class/scsi_device/0:0:0:0/uevent did the magic
<crispinf> I got spammed by lots of stuff, including the modprobe lines for inserting sd_mod
<Keybuk> ok ...
<crispinf> so for whatever reason the .../device/uevent isn't working
<Keybuk> did you get a UEVENT for when you touched the /evice/uevent ?
<Keybuk> if so, that's working "as expected"
<Keybuk> I don't know why the scsi_device/*/*uevent wasn't tickled though ... it should be
<Keybuk> unless for some reason the driver was initialised before udevd was started, but unless you've compiled it in, that shouldn't happen
<crispinf> the bottom 4 lines of text were printed for the /devive/uevent : http://patches.theflowerdays.com/udev_debug.txt
<crispinf> I'm just using the stock ubuntu kernel, haven't compiled anything in anywhere ...
<Keybuk> ok, that's kinda kooky
<Keybuk> edit /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/usplash
<Keybuk> and add "copy_exec /usr/sbin/udevmonitor /sbin" below the others
<Keybuk> then update-initramfs -u
<Keybuk> and reboot, putting break=premount onto the kernel command-line (taking out quiet and splash)
<Keybuk> then do "ls /sys/class/scsi_device" and "/sys/bus/scsi" for me
<crispinf> right, I'll do that next time I reboot (will try to find time this evening)
<crispinf> we will get there eventually hopefully :-)
<Keybuk> ok
<Keybuk> in theory the action of loading the scsi module should have caused the scsi_device thing to be created, thus loading sd_mod
<Keybuk> I don't know why that's not happening for you
<crispinf> right - I'm rebooting to see what is happening
<crispinf> Keybuk: in /sys/class/scsi_device I have 0:0:0:0, /sys/bus/scsi/devices/0:0:0:0 is there too
<Keybuk> ok...
<Keybuk> lsmod
<Keybuk> uh
<Keybuk> sorry
<Keybuk> cat /proc/modules
<Keybuk> :p
<crispinf> lsmod not found - cat /proc/modules gives scsi_mod, libata and sata_via
<Keybuk> you did break=premount, rather than waiting for panic?
<crispinf> yep
<crispinf> cat /proc/cmdline = "root=/dev/sda1 ro break=premount"
<crispinf> I have on udev running
<Keybuk> cat conf/modules
<crispinf> sata_via, capability vesafb, fbcon, unix
<Keybuk> who put sata_via in there? :p
<Keybuk> in fact, who put ANYTHING in there? :p
<crispinf> is that just a copy of /etc/modules ?
<Keybuk> no
<Keybuk> /etc/mkinitramfs/modules
<crispinf> hmm
<crispinf> let me boot and see ...
<Keybuk> before you do
<Keybuk> try this for me
<Keybuk> udevd --daemon
<Keybuk> udevplug -Bscsi -Cscsi_device
<crispinf> argh - hang on a sec ...
<crispinf> that seems to have inserted sd_mod
<Keybuk> good-o
<crispinf> anything else you want me to try without before I finish booting ?
<Keybuk> nope
<Keybuk> install udev_079-0ubuntu15 when it appears in the archive
<crispinf> thanks
<crispinf> I probably  added sata_via to the /etc/mkinitramfs/modules when it failed to boot correctly last time
<Keybuk> ;)
<Keybuk> was a good test, that same bug would've bitten people who compiled their own
<crispinf> I'll test out the new udev and let you know how it goes, thanks again

<allee> heh, no Keybuk ;)
<fabbione> allee: he will be around in about 12 hours
<fabbione> TZ difference
<allee> anyway: Sun Galaxy X4100 sda1 versus sdi1 root dev strangeness.  After netbooting with preseeding, reboot fails can't mount /dev/sdi1.  In grub dialog s/sdi1/sda1/ and boots successful.  df shows root it now mounted on /dev/sdi1
<allee> fabbione: no problem
#ubuntu-boot 2006-03-06
<tgnx> hello
<tgnx> i'm just installed ubuntu on a pc and after installation it won't boot
<allee> Keybuk: Sun Galaxy X4100 sda1 versus sdi1 root dev mistery: After netbooting dapper with preseeding, reboot fails can't mount /dev/sdi1. In grub dialog s/sdi1/sda1/ and boots successful. df shows root it now mounted on /dev/sdi1
<Keybuk> come again?
<Keybuk> what is root= k
<allee> in grub append?  root=/dev/sdi1.  I need to change it to /dev/sda1
<Keybuk> ok, but then df says something different?
<allee> yes, when I login df says /dev/sdi1 for /
<allee> ah, and afair fdisk -l listed /dev/sda not sdi.  checking ...
<Keybuk> that makes no sense
<Keybuk> sorry, but if /dev/sda1 is mounted as the root device, that's what will show up in df
<Keybuk> it doesn't suddenly jump to sdi1 half way through the boot sequence
<Keybuk> what are sda-sdh ?
<allee> Keybuk: no idea, sorry.  There only one harddisk.  lsmod lists usb-storage as first loaded.
<Keybuk> I can't help you
<Keybuk> what you're saying makes zero sense
<Keybuk> you'll need to get your facts sorted out first
<Keybuk> is your hard disk /dev/sda1 or /dev/sdi1, for example ... you're claiming it's both
<allee> Keybuk: during install it says it always says sdi.  menu.lst contains sdi. fine so far
<allee> Keybuk: boot fails with can mount sdi1 and I'm on 'sh#' prompt.  Reboot and in grub dialog set root=/dev/sda1 and it boots successfully
<Keybuk> ok
<Keybuk> and then after booting, what does "cat /proc/mounts" say?
<crispinf> Keybuk: many thanks for that udev fix - it worked perfectly, so I marked the bug as "Fix released"
<allee> Keybuk: one moment, I tried a reboot and now I'm on '#' prompt again.  I'll reboot and change to sda1 again ..
<Keybuk> allee: either way, this sounds like an installer bug to me
<Keybuk> if sda-sdh are being given to removable devices, that's a bug
<Keybuk> file it on hw-detect
<allee> proc mounts only shows /dev/sda1, df / lists sdi1
<Keybuk> ok
<Keybuk> iz installer bug
<allee> Keybuk: ok, I'll file bug against hw-detect
<allee> done: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/hw-detect/+bug/33249
<Kamion> er, what? hw-detect doesn't assign device names
<Kamion> Keybuk: what do you think should change in hw-detect?
<Keybuk> it shouldn't load usb-storage before the scsi/raid/sata controller
<Keybuk> otherwise the kernel will allocate sda-sdX to whatever USB keys and devices are plugged in
<Keybuk> and then finally sdX+1 to the intended root filesystem
<Keybuk> which means they better damned well leave everything connected next time they boot ;)
<Keybuk> I assume that's what's grabbing sda-sdh anyway
<Keybuk> either way, the installer is arranging matters so that the intended root filesystem is sdi, where udev/
<Keybuk> initramfs are making it sda
<Keybuk> and I think the installer is at fault, as sdi is a rather far-fetched name for it
<allee> Should I but another X4100 with sda preseeded?  Then it stop in partition menu, and I can send you more infos if needed
* Kamion cuts and pastes the above to the bug
<Kamion> allee: no need, thanks
<allee> Kamion: 'k.   Saves me some time ;)
<allee> Keybuk: mhmm, after boot mpt* drivers are loaded before usb-storage.  Point I don't understand is why can the system still access / via sdi1
<Keybuk> it can't
<Keybuk> it's just lying to you
<Keybuk> "mount" just outputs a text file that's created after the system has booted
<Keybuk> and that just seeds the root filesystem information from /etc/fstab, which is wrong
<Keybuk> it has nothing to do with where the root filesystem REALLY IS :)
<Keybuk> it's just all there for compatibility with old shit
<allee> Keybuk: cool. not the first time old shit drives me crazy. thx for this info!
<crispinf> /etc/mtab is something I don't understand, /proc/mounts is much more reliable :-)
<Kamion> AFAIK the only reason /etc/mtab hasn't been replaced with a symlink to /proc/mounts is that /proc/mounts doesn't give you all the information that /etc/mtab gives you about loopback mounts
<Kamion> at least that was the problem last time it was suggested in Debian
<crispinf> sounds to me like minor bug compared to the fact that mtab can sometimes just give you plain wrong info :-)
<Kamion> it's not a huge deal, but it was a regression ... sometimes the bugs you know about are better than shiny new ones ;-)
<crispinf> true :-)

<mist> i'm working on booting ubuntu on the intel macs
<mist> is anyone in here willing to share some insights on the boot process on i386? :-)
<nate_> ok ok, maybe someone here can help, anyone know of any good docs for ubuntu's implementation of d-i and specifically the setup of preseed files?
<fabbione> http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/breezy/main/installer-i386/current/doc/manual/
<nate_> fabbione, ahhh, this could be the very thing i am looking for, thank you :D
<nate_> fabbione, wait, nope, not the right one

<uNcLePeAr> hi guy's ...
#ubuntu-boot 2006-03-22
<makx> ok posting to the more relevant channel
<makx> initramfs-tools gets minor wrong if you boot with root=341
<makx> simple testcase on http://paste.debian.net/5276
<makx> minor is the actual code, minorreal is what should be done
<makx> infinity?
<Kamion> infinity's not here ... you might be able to drag him over from #ubuntu-devel or something if he's still up

<trevheg> I have 7.10. I installed ebox, and in order to do that, synaptic told me it needed to uninstall sysvinit and replace it with upstart. I was having network troubles before, so I tried to restart my computer, but it just took me to the login page. I hit the reset button, and now my computer won't boot up. I can't even get to a shell. In terminal 1 it says "kinit: no resume image, doing normal boot" in terminal 8 it says  "init: rc-default main process
