Bug 29707 – UML support for /etc/init.d/{consolefont,keymaps}

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Sascha Silbe 2003-09-26 16:14:04 UTC]

I'll attach two patches against /etc/init.d/consolefont and /etc/init.d/keymaps that add support for UML (User Mode Linux).


Reproducible: Always

UML support for /etc/init.d/consolefont

Lets /etc/init.d/consolefont just exit OK if running in a UML.

With clock it is a different story, but for these I will prefer if you just
did a:

   # rc-update del consolefont

etc.

I'm using UML to install and test a real system (that gets transferred to
a real host afterwards), so removing services that are normally needed is
quite bad.
What's wrong with adding a UML check to the init scripts?

I'm with sascha on this one.  The uml checks should be done from the init
scripts, and not just removed.  It keeps things in sync w/ non-uml boxes...

BTW, RTC also causes errors:

 * Setting system clock to hardware clock [UTC]...modprobe: Can't locate
module /dev/rtc
modprobe: Can't locate module /dev/misc/rtc
modprobe: Can't locate module /dev/rtc
modprobe: Can't locate module /dev/misc/rtc
