Hi Lonnie,

the script works fine for me. Thanks.

In the past I have used a serial version inside VMware... actually it was
my custom build of the alix version, all I had to do to make it work was
add a network driver that VMware would work with.

I actually think it useful to be able to run the exact image you plan to
use on an appliance/system inside a VMware image for testing purposes, but
that can be a build-time choice, so doesn't need to be enabled by default
in all images.

David.

Lonnie,

I can't think of a reason to have it enabled by default in anything other than the gen-i586 image.  It's always possible to specify the e1000 adapter in vmware and use that one too.

I discovered CONFIG_VMXNET3 is new to AstLinuux 1.0.x with the 2.6.35 kernel.  No doubt the default kernel config used "=y" and is why it is as it is.

I will change that to "=m" and add to the geni586 rc.modules "vmxnet3" before pcnet32.  No need to add it to geni586-serial is there?

The alix users will be happy vmxnet3 is no longer using-up memory.

I can't think of a good reason. it probably doesn't make much of a difference. if we change it to a module we should enable it by default.

Anyone know/remember why the VMware "vmxnet3" NIC driver is not compiled as a module?  (ie. CONFIG_VMXNET3=y)

Normally we like NIC's to be kernel modules such that when rc.modules modprobes them UDEV acts on them at that point.

But so it is: 
In Astlinux 0.7.x  the complete runnix-0.3.3 is grabbed from the mirror.
In 1.0.x we included the former seperate Runnix source into the Astlinux repo (inside 'project/').

If you want to use Astlinux 0.7.x, you need to modify the 0.3.x runnix source.

Juliano,

As Michael suggested, the 'kexec' occurs in the RUNNIX bootloader.

Besides, downgrading to an older 2.6.18 could cause a lot of other problems.

Hi Michael

I looked in this repo now, but i can only find the file in

http://runnix.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/runnix/tags/0.3.3/target/generic/ta
rget_skeleton/

but, in the astilinux-0.7.10 repo, I can't find anything about getting the
runnix from that repo.
The only thing I found was a file that the astlinux get:

http://mirror.astlinux.org/runnix/runnix-0.3.3.tar.gz

I saw in astlinux-1.0.1  repo a new folder, project, that contain the script
runnix. I would like to continue use the astlinux-0.7.10, because I already
made a few modifications.

Best regards,

Juliano Romani

Maybe you should look into the Runnix source, it's a different repo:

http://runnix.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/runnix/tags/0.3.3/toolchain/runrele
ase/

Hi...

 

I´m trying build the astlinux 0.7.10 with another kernel(2.6.18), but there
is a problem on boot.

When booting the system, the script runnix execute the command:

 

kexec –command-line=”$KCMD” –initrd=/mnt/tmp/initrd.img –f /mnt/tmp/bzImage

 

I need edit this line to 

 

kexec --command-line=”$KCMD” --args-linux  --initrd=/mnt/tmp/initrd.img --f
/mnt/tmp/bzImage

 

but I can´t find where I can edit this. I searched in all files downloads
and .mk but without success.

Someone can help me find where I can edit this file during the build?

 

Best regards,

Juliano Romani 



 

The AstLinux Team would like to announce the release of 1.0.1.  This version is available with either Asterisk 1.4.43 or Asterisk 1.8.8.3.  A full changelog and upgrade (or new install) instructions are available on our website.  Please follow the upgrade instructions carefully when upgrading from a release prior to 1.0.

http://www.astlinux.org

Please note that this release includes a change in the way PATA (ide) devices are handled by the kernel.  Those devices are now handled by libata which references the drives as /dev/sdx instead of /dev/hdx.

As always, please report any issues (and comments) to the AstLinux mailing list on Sourceforge. (link available at the above website).

The AstLinux Team

The 1.0.1 images are being uploaded as I write this.  The website will be updated later today, but don't be surprised when you see 1.0.1 when you do an upgrade-run-image.  Also note that you should also upgrade runnix at the same time.  There were a few changes in the way ide drives are handled.  All drives are now recognized as /dev/sdx .

More details will be posted with the official release email.

Darrick
