- I'm having a problem as of late with our XFS test box (and I haven't had the time to take a look at it until today). The kernel boots, mounts the root partition (XFS) and tries to open the initial c

- Hello Marcelo, Personally, i just did the CVS thing and I have been using it since 2.4.0test10. Perhaps you might try that? What version of modutils, etc are on the box booting the kernel? As you pro

- The image built on 2001-01-10 boots, the next one doesn't. Check out time is ~ 04:00 GMT. I'm looking at the changes right now, but I can't spot anything obvious. -- Marcelo

- Are you using devfs? I have seen problems with console access related to devfs - although in my case the failed to get initial console happened when I did not configure devfs. Also, where are the at

- No, I don't have devfs enabled. Oh, I'm sorry about that. It's just a tag I use to avoid installing a kernel compiled for an Athlon on a Pentium box. Yeah, the last tree I checked out won't boot eit

- Do you have /dev on the XFS partition? Most important you need /dev/console on that partition. From linux/init/main.c: /* * Ok, we have completed the initial bootup, and * we're essentially up and r

- Right, the problem is that xfs does it's own permissions checking, and there is no special case for opening a device read/write on a readonly filesystem - which is what happens to the console at boot

- Duh. I overlooked this the first time I looked at it. The root filesystem is mounted ro at this point, but it's trying to open /dev/console RDWR. -- Marcelo

- Might be. devfs "fixes" this because it's not mounted ro but rw. Now I have a general idea where the problem might be, I'll take a look tomorrow, I need to sleep now. Thanks, -- Marcelo

- OK, I have to go off the air for a while here, but I think the problem is due to opening the console read/write before the filesystem is read/write, a very basic work around would be to comment out
