Hi all, |
2 |
|
3 |
A bunch of things came together in the mother of all |
4 |
screw-ups. |
5 |
|
6 |
One, somehow the /boot line in fstab got set to |
7 |
noauto. How that happened have no idea. |
8 |
|
9 |
Two, at some point I must have compiled a kernel after |
10 |
chrooting without making sure /dev/<boot> was mounted |
11 |
on /boot. Then, when I copied over bzImage it landed |
12 |
under the empty /boot dir on the root device. |
13 |
|
14 |
Three, when I was told to save .config somewhere then |
15 |
clean the source then cp .config back and make |
16 |
oldconfig, I couldn't find it because I looked in the |
17 |
wrong dir! |
18 |
|
19 |
Four, I made another kernel but this time neglected to |
20 |
include the proper SATA drivers. When I said "no |
21 |
warning" before the panic, there was actually lots but |
22 |
I took them for neutral messages. |
23 |
|
24 |
So that's sorted. |
25 |
|
26 |
Just one little problem left. From the boot console: |
27 |
|
28 |
udevd-event[3787]: udev_make_node: mknod(/dev/ttyS0, |
29 |
020660, 4, 64) |
30 |
failed: File exists |
31 |
udevd-event[3788]: udev_make_node: mknod(/dev/ttyS1, |
32 |
020660, 4, 65) |
33 |
failed: File exists |
34 |
udevd-event[3789]: udev_make_node: mknod(/dev/ttyS2, |
35 |
020660, 4, 66) |
36 |
failed: File exists |
37 |
udevd-event[3790]: udev_make_node: mknod(/dev/ttyS3, |
38 |
020660, 4, 67) |
39 |
failed: File exists |
40 |
|
41 |
[ !! ] * |
42 |
|
43 |
This must have something to do with the end of console |
44 |
boot just before login where it says: |
45 |
|
46 |
/usr/sbin/ppd/: Couldn't stat /dev/ttyS0: Too many |
47 |
levels of symbolic links |
48 |
|
49 |
So in the end, I still can't dial out, on that box |
50 |
anyway. |
