Kernel 2.6.30

[stirner]

Good news:

kernel 2.6.30 is out and cloop + aufs are working!!!

I had only to edit config.mk from aufs source ( aufs2-standalone ) and delete "y" from CONFIG_AUFS_DEBUG

Another thing:

if you have knoppix in a  usb pendrive remember to edit linuxrc in minirt.gz and change insmod libusual.ko to insmod usb-libusual.ko.

Usually that's statically compiled-in in the kernel used in Knoppix. I'm
also thinking about putting cloop and aufs into the static kernel, so no
modprobing is necessary in the initial ramdisk.

On the other hand, modprobing cloop was also making sure that the
modules and kernel matched before mounting the compressed part.

I tried aufs2-29  from aufs2-standalone with 2.6.30-rc8 a few days ago,
and it die NOT work out (compile time errors because of redefined
functions that apparently had been turned into macros).

Which branch of the aufs2-standalone.git did you use? Maybe I just
missed something.

Of course I would be very happy to include 2.6.30 in the next release
already, currently I'm working with a prerelease based on 2.6.29.7.

There not a 2.6.30 branch so I did checkout origin/aufs2 ( without a version ) to have the latest one.

To remaster a knoppix with a new kernel you have to compile, at least,  cloop and aufs.

I was to fast:

there's no problem with usb, but I can't  boot the cdrom iso: it hangs at "looking for cd in /dev/hdc".

I tried: failsafe, nodma, cdrom=hdc

If I boot with "debug" and before the hang do a "cat /dev/hd" there is nothing from the console.
It i do the same (at the same point) with the 2.6.29 kernel I've a lot of garbage from the console.
The device was recognized as /dev/hdc and the script set the dma to 1.
I tried with qemu/kqemu.

Cheers

Thanks for the hint about using the master aufs2 version instead of the
Kernel 2.6.29, indeed it works with 2.6.30. :-)

This may be a problem related to the now somewhat Knoppix-specific
mixture of IDE and SATA/PATA drivers. Please make sure that you don't
have overlapping drivers in the IDE and SATA/PATA section of your kernel
configuration. In some cases, the best matching driver "wins" and does
not get blocked by the IDE/SATA equivalent, but sometimes this does not
work. Also, you need to enable iso9660 filesystem support. In general,
please compare your newly compiled kernels .config with the one from the
older kernel version. You may have missed a few options, or compiled
them as modules instad of statically compiled in.

Maybe we should in general switch from using the old (but stable) IDE
drivers to a completely SATA/PATA based configuration in order to avoid
conflicts between IDE and PATA? Many distributions seem to use PATA
exclusively instead of IDE today.

Regards
-Klaus

Hi,

thanks for the prompt reply!!!

There are very few differences form my 2.6.29 and 2.6.30 config, here's the relevant part.

It should be a qemu problem: it works in virtual box.
