Bug 71837 – gentoo-sources-2.4.28* fails to mount anything

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Carsten Lohrke (RETIRED) 2004-11-20 06:03:51 UTC]

* Mounting /proc      [ok]
awk: cmd. line 2 fatal cannot open file `/proc/mounts' for reading (No such file or directory)
rm:  cannot remove `/dev/.devfsd*: operation not permitted
awk: cmd. ...

It's more or less the same kernel config like I use for the .26 one , just the added SATA stuff is disabled, since I don't have use for it. I tried .28 vanilla and it works fine.

... And if you disable GRSec?

Oh, that's a fast comment. I try it later, need the box now. :)

[Comment 5 Carsten Lohrke (RETIRED) 2004-11-21 09:13:40 UTC]

Yes, disabling Grsecurity let the kernel boot.

btw. patches.txt: "Please check the ebuild ChangeLog for more details."

Is it too much asked, to list the patches? The ebuild Changelog isn't really a good source.

[Comment 6 Tim Yamin (RETIRED) 2004-12-26 12:39:50 UTC]

Mind testing http://dev.gentoo.org/~plasmaroo/patches/kernel/gentoo-sources/gentoo-sources-2.4.28-r4.ebuild ... ?

[Comment 7 Carsten Lohrke (RETIRED) 2004-12-26 14:58:40 UTC]

this did not work :)

I've uploaded a newer tarball to the same place that should hopefully work now; can you please give it a go? Thanks...

[Comment 9 Carsten Lohrke (RETIRED) 2004-12-30 07:04:29 UTC]

Yes, the kernel boots fine now. Just lm-sensors fails to compile.

Yeah, you need to apply the patch given in the URL in the i2c // lm-sensors ebuild.

[Comment 11 Tim Yamin (RETIRED) 2005-01-01 14:05:47 UTC]

2.4.28-r4 in CVS; please reopen if you have any problems...

Hm, if I would care enough for the die temperature. ;) I just don't think you want to tell this joe user N+1, if you should mark this kernel stable at some time. The kernel seem to run fine, though. Thanks Tim.

[Comment 13 Tim Yamin (RETIRED) 2005-01-02 14:58:12 UTC]

Sidenote: i2c-2.9.0 no longer needs any patching.

[Comment 14 Carsten Lohrke (RETIRED) 2005-01-03 10:16:15 UTC]

>Sidenote: i2c-2.9.0 no longer needs any patching.

Broken promise. It fails likewise. At least you managed to have a tester. ;p

[Comment 15 Tim Yamin (RETIRED) 2005-01-03 13:44:06 UTC]

Hrm, looks like the I2C devs lied to me when they said I can remove the big fat warning einfos when 2.9.0 is out :-|. Reopening bug...

[Comment 16 Tim Yamin (RETIRED) 2005-01-03 13:59:54 UTC]

Turns out to be an upstream Makefile bug in i2c -- backport added to Portage. Sync, re-merge I2C and lm-sensors should play nice now...

[Comment 17 Carsten Lohrke (RETIRED) 2005-01-04 02:39:03 UTC]

Tim, I'm really sorry to say it, but the i2c patch does not suffice. lm-sensors still bails out:

Patches did apply correctly for the kernel and i2c.

[Comment 20 Tim Yamin (RETIRED) 2005-01-04 07:48:29 UTC]

> Patches did apply correctly for the kernel

Are you referring to the gentoo-sources patches or some I2C patches?

[Comment 21 Carsten Lohrke (RETIRED) 2005-01-04 08:42:32 UTC]

I just had a look at the log files to reassure myself that all the patches for both the kernel and i2c did apply as they should.

[Comment 22 Tim Yamin (RETIRED) 2005-01-04 09:15:27 UTC]

Want to try merging another copy of gentoo-sources somewhere, setting the symlink to point to it and remerging I2C and lm-sensors? As it works fine here (after fixing the I2C Makefiles in the ebuild)...

[Comment 23 David Carrick 2005-01-04 11:37:27 UTC]

Most of you probably know this but what causes this error is the "Proc restrictions" option within Grsecurity, this is unfortunate since this option is very useful. 

[Comment 24 Carsten Lohrke (RETIRED) 2005-01-04 12:46:45 UTC]

>Want to try merging another copy of gentoo-sources somewhere

Of course I could - wanting is another question ;) - it's just that if you did not change the patch set in between, there should be no difference.

>Most of you probably know

What should the restrictions have to do with the compilation? Also I did not apply /proc restrictions.

[Comment 25 Carsten Lohrke (RETIRED) 2005-01-09 08:09:40 UTC]

Tim, same problem with -r5.

[Comment 26 Tim Yamin (RETIRED) 2005-01-09 09:54:14 UTC]

Works for me, heh.

<testing>
* Merge gentoo-sources
* make menuconfig
* make dep
* Change symlink to /usr/src/linux to point to gentoo-sources-2.4.28-r5
* Merge i2c (2.9.0)
* Merge lm-sensors (2.9.0)
* All merges fine...
</testing>

[Comment 27 Tim Yamin (RETIRED) 2005-02-17 10:15:05 UTC]

Ok, this should be FIXED as I can't reproduce it here. Want to try a clean merge and compile of 2.4.28-r6 and reopen this bug if you still have problems?

[Comment 28 Carsten Lohrke (RETIRED) 2005-02-18 16:51:33 UTC]

for the records: I just made completely new .28-r7 config and it's still the same. But don't bother, Tim. If I'd really care I would (try to) have a look at it myself.
