1st Report: amd64-hardened on XenServer, PV-mode |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
Booted okay. There's 1 (one) red asterisk but it booted so fast I |
| 17 |
can't see what that asterisk was about. `less /var/log/rc.log` did not |
| 18 |
show anything... |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
... but I realized that I can scroll up on XenServer console, so I saw |
| 21 |
that the asterisk said: |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
* Error: fopen(/lib64/rc/init.d/rc.log) failed: No such file or directory |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Nothing serious though. I think it was because /lib64/rc/init.d got |
| 26 |
overlaid by rc-svcdir during boot, so rc.log disappeared. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
(Doing `mount -o bind / /mnt/rooot && ls /mnt/rooot/lib64/rc/init.d` |
| 29 |
showed that rc.log existed in the non-overlaid /lib64/rc/init.d) |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
/dev/xvdb* (which was not created statically in the non-overlaid /dev) appeared. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
/dev/xvdd appeared when I attached an ISO image to the VM. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
mount /dev/xvdd /mnt/cd worked. I could `ls /mnt/cd` and see the |
| 36 |
contents of the CD. |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
"Ejecting" the ISO image made /dev/xvdd disappear (as it should). |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
Networking is okay. |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
The Xen virtual console (hvc0) works okay. |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
`rc-update | grep dev` showed `udev-postmount` still part of default, |
| 45 |
so I did `rc-update del udev-postmount default` and rebooted, and all |
| 46 |
were still well (and still a glint of red asterisk). |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
Unmerging udev went well. |
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
All in all, rebooting after switching to udev *seems* to be faster. |
| 51 |

Rgds, |
