 |
|
I've been following this guide https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Old_Fashioned_Gentoo_Install#Making_the_initrd And created my own overlay at github. I was able to remove everything to do with IUSE for lvm but I am running into a problem with xorg-server. I know I already removed everything to do with udev in IUSE, but it keeps pulling in x11-base/xorg-server-1.20.10-r3::gentoo and keeps complaining about the flag udev. I tried masking it, I tried manipulating it with package.use, I tried installing it then installing my modified ontop of it no luck, and I looked at the ebuild structure to only double check if I completely removed everything to do with udev. No luck. Here's the structure of the ebuild I have currently:

I also want to talk about the need to create a patch that will build mesa package without the support of udev as well as hwids and I have no clue to do that, I mean, I recently found out how to apply the patch.
This initramfs is for raspberrypi4 by the way and this is the error I get whenever I try to install it:
| Code: |

kucklehead,
I build my Xorg like this. | Code: | | [ebuild R ] x11-base/xorg-server-1.20.10-r3:0/1.20.10::gentoo USE="ipv6 suid xorg xvfb -debug -dmx -doc (-elogind) -kdrive (-libressl) -minimal (-selinux) (-systemd) (-udev) -unwind -wayland -xcsecurity -xephyr -xnest" 0 KiB |
My | /etc/portage/profile/use.mask: |
# No automatic hand holding
consolekit
policykit
pulseaudio
# Can't use systemd with a static dev as it forces udev
systemd
# Can't use udev with a static dev.
udev
elogind
# More unsavory optional black magic
udisks
upower
upnp |
It gets worse too Notice with x11-base/xorg-drivers that
| Code: | | [ebuild R ] x11-base/xorg-drivers-1.20-r2::gentoo INPUT_DEVICES="-elographics -evdev -joystick -libinput -synaptics -vmmouse -void -wacom" VIDEO_CARDS="amdgpu fbdev nouveau nv radeonsi vesa -ast -dummy (-freedreno) (-geode) -glint -i915 -i965 -intel -mga -nvidia (-omap) -qxl -r128 -radeon -siliconmotion (-tegra) (-vc4) -via -virtualbox -vmware" 0 KiB |
the x11-drivers/xf86-input-keyboard and x11-drivers/xf86-input-mouse drivers will not be pulled in.
You need to put them in your overlay and emerge then manually.
x11-drivers/xf86-input-keyboard-1.9.0 is the last release that will support linux as upstream have removed that support.
Last but not least, I have a note
| Code: | /etc/portage/package.mask/xorg:
# Must use gentoo-static version or we don't get our keymap
# maybe its been moved?
# x11-misc/xkeyboard-config-2.31 works |
I updated one day and found I couldn't use the keyboard in Xorg and that was the workaround.
Why are you putting Xorg into the initrd? Its not needed there. On a Pi, an initrd is not required unless you are doing root on raid or in LVM.

| I am doing an initramfs because I am using lvm. And again I am following that guide which says that I need to create an overlay that has xorg-server and lvm with the udev completely removed from the ebuild. If I don't need xorg-server with the udev removed from it completely then say no more, as I am done dealing with it. I didn't know that systemd forces udev and I need that for the whole system to work. I already modified the lvm ebuild so it doesn't have udev in it and it works just fine. Can I keep the static-dev and systemd with it? Or do I have to modify the systemd ebuild so it doesn't force udev? Again, all I am trying to do is build a custom initramfs for this pi. Do I have to even follow this guide https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Old_Fashioned_Gentoo_Install#Making_the_initrd? Or just follow the userspace one and the custom? |

kucklehead,
All the initrd needs are the user space tools to start LVM and mount root.
Start reading at Making the initrd.
That's for my system with a static /dev, It can be simplified if you use devtmpfs.
LVM no longer builds statically linked. You will need the dynamically built LVM and all its dependencies.
lddtree will list them.
/root/initrd/initramfs_list tells what will go into the the initrd. File versions may have changed.
Locations may have been moved with the /17.1/ profile update too.
/root/initrd/init is the init script that uses the files in the initrd to start LVM, and mount root.
Unless you have raid, the raid things are not needed.

| I already uninstalled the static-dev and will use the devtmpfs instead as again I need the systemd. I understand that I am going to create two initramfs one that holds the list and the other which boots the system; the one that boots my system will be added to my boot.txt. Right now I am building the initramfs. I will have to uninstall the lvm cause I made it static. |

kucklehead,
If you can beuld LVM statically linked go ahead. I haven't been able to for a some time now.

It works with the udev removed. Should I include the xorg-server as well? And how do I even dynamically link it? I'm going throw in everything such as the pi firmware, the cards and what not

kucklehead,
Thank you. I'll look at it.
If you keep the initrd to the userspace tools only, it will work with any kernel.
The kernel can be made to include the firmware if you like.
If the firmware is in the intrd, when the firmware changes, the initrd needs to be updated.

Thought I did emerge it with the static flag enabled but I didn't, I read through the parts where it failed and I got it to output this:
| Code: |
[LN] liblvm2cmd.so.2.02
ln -s -f liblvm2cmd.so liblvm2cmd.so.2.02
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
|
I got to this part after adding -ldl into make.conf. I have no idea and I'm done with it. How do I dynamically install lvm or anything actually. Also I got it to work by doing this: echo sys-fs/lvm2 static -udev -systemd >> /etc/portage/package.use/lvm2
Then doing this: emerge --ask --quiet =sys-fs/lvm2-2.02.187-r2
I had to re-edit my ebuild and add -systemd and it works, I ran the ldd /sbin/lvm and grabbed the files which are now in my init_list
Example:

So far the initramfs is coming along much better than last time. And I also understand why you asked me why am i including the xorg-server in my initramfs? The guide I am following is building a initrd which is not used anymore and initramfs is used. But the guide for that is flagged dirty and I don't know what exactly is 100% accurate. But I have a couple questions from the old fashion guide.
I was double checking the init_list from there and it has this:
| Code: |
slink /dev/stderr /proc/self/fd/2 777 0 0
slink /dev/stdin /proc/self/fd/0 777 0 0
slink /dev/std/out /proc/self/fd/1 777 0 0
|
What is that exactly? And do I need that in my init_list?
I also was curious what these numbers mean:
| Code: |
nod /dev/dm-0 0660 0 0 b 253 0
nod /dev/dm-1 0660 0 0 b 253 1
nod /dev/dm-2 0660 0 0 b 254 2
# ...
|
I am talking about the 0660 0 0 b 253 0. [/code] |

kucklehead,
You need | Code: | slink /dev/stderr /proc/self/fd/2 777 0 0
slink /dev/stdin /proc/self/fd/0 777 0 0
slink /dev/std/out /proc/self/fd/1 777 0 0 |
as you will not have udev in the intrd to create those symbolic links.
Programs expect to use those three /dev entries.
The 777 0 0 means Owned by root, group root, and lrwxrwxrwx permissions. Check the symlinks on your live system now.
You do not need anyentries as you will use devtmpfs
The numbers in | Code: | | nod /dev/dm-0 0660 0 0 b 253 0 |
mean create a node called /dev/dm-0 with permissions rw-rw---- owned by root, group root, its to be a block device with major device number 253 and minor device number 0.
will show you the device mapper entries on your live system. will show the HDD. (Not NVME).
The concept of users does not exist in the initrd, so effectively there is only root.
Internally the kernel works with the major and minor device numbers. There are two sets block devices and character devices.
There is a list in /usr/src/linux/Documentation/admin-guide/devices.txt.
That guide needs to be updated. I wrote it in 2013 for a whole static /dev system. The only bit that you need is the initrd part, which hasn't changed much.
The rest has got a lot harder.
In the initrd there is only the kernel, the included progarms and libraries and the init script to do what you need, or give you a shell when it fails.
| Code: | $ lddtree /bin/busybox
/bin/busybox (interpreter => None) |
That tells that busybox is statically linked and needs nothing else in the initrd,
| Code: | $ lddtree /bin/bash
/bin/bash (interpreter => /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2)
libreadline.so.8 => /lib64/libreadline.so.8
libtinfow.so.6 => /lib64/libtinfow.so.6
libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6 |
That shows that bash needs four other files. It all has to go into the initrd to be able to run there.
When you miss a bit out, something will fail and you will get a shell to look around.

Thank you for explaining that. I did what you told me to do and read through the article making initrd the old fashion way and used the custom initramfs. It was really confusing and hard to combine them both together. This is what I did to create my initramfs:
| Code: |
usr/gen_init_cpio /usr/src/initramfs/initramfs.list > /usr/src/initramfs/rpi-5.12-v8-custom_initramfs.cpio
gzip --best /usr/src/initramfs/rpi-5.12-v8-custom_initramfs.cpio
cp -Pr /usr/src/initramfs/rpi-5.12-v8-custom_initramfs.cpio.gz /boot
|
I realized that I added my these libraries using the lddtree and ldd, because they are not static and I am assuming that is how you dynamic link that?
| Code: |
consoletype fsck halt mkfs.ext2 poweroff sulogin
depmod fsck.ext2 insmod mkfs.ext3 reboot swapoff
dhcpcd fsck.ext3 ldconfig mkfs.ext4 rmmod swapon
fdisk fsck.ext4 mkfs modprobe shutdown switch_root
|
I don't know if I needed that stuff, but I added it into there just in case. This is my file for the initramfs.list:
| Code: |
# This is my initramfs layout. Everything here that has file needs to be archived in the /usr/src/initramfs

After I did all that work, I am still confused about the part populating the modules: "Populating /etc/conf.d/modules
Only you know what you need here. When you reboot, its a good idea to have keyboard support and udev isn't going to load it for you any more. ", (https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Old_Fashioned_Gentoo_Install#Making_the_initrd) Don't know the author so Im using the link
Do I copy them in there or create a file holding them?
And you said before that I would need this: https://www.amazon.com/Serial-Adapter-Signal-Prolific-Windows/dp/B07R8BQYW1
What is that for anyways? |

kucklehead,
| Code: | # dev/sda and partitions
nod /dev/mmcblk0 0660 0 0 b 8 0
nod /dev/mmcblk0p1 0660 0 0 b 8 1
nod /dev/mmcblk0p2 0660 0 0 b 8 2 |
8 0, 8 1 and 8 2 mean /dev/sda, /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda2
You need the numbers for your block device.
| Code: | roy@Pi4_~arm64 ~ $ ls -l /dev/mmc*
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 179, 0 Jan 1 1970 /dev/mmcblk0
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 179, 1 Apr 25 2016 /dev/mmcblk0p1 |
so the 8 needs to be 179.
| Code: | # Install symlinks to all busybox applets first.
/bin/busybox mkdir -p /usr/sbin /usr/bin /sbin /bin
/bin/busybox --install -s |
I do that inside the rescue shell in case it overwrites real commands in the initrd.
Its still there too.
# temporarily mount proc and sys
mount -t devtmpfs none /dev # This creates nodes, in which are described in the init_list
mount -t proc none /proc
mount -t sysfs none /sys
must be first after the
| Code: | | # start for real here |
You need /proc and /dev before its possible to do very much.
For every add a string like | Code: | | uuidlabel_root || rescue_shell "Error with uuidlabel_root" |
to tell what failed.
You hope you won't ever see them but bugs are a fact of life.
| Code: | umount /proc
umount /sys |
Need to add umunt /dev here.
Why do you do
| Code: | # Setup dynamic IP address
ifconfig eth0 up
udhcpc -t 5 -q -s /bin/simple.script |
the network is not used in the initrd.

I had it in there because again I was following this guide: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Custom_Initramfs#Dynamic_devices
Which says you can do this:
| Code: |
Static IP
If your network situation allows you to use a static network IP, you can set it up using the ifconfig and route commands, both of which are included in Busybox. This is by far the easiest solution, so if it's at all possible, go for it.
FILE /usr/src/initramfs/initStatic network IP setup in /init
ifconfig eth0 10.0.2.15
route add default gw 10.0.2.2
|
I removed it, and added the stuff you said earlier into the rescue_shell local variables, added the umount /dev, and have the stuff where you said it had to be after the start here:
| Code: |
#!/bin/busybox sh
# Install symlinks to all busybox applets first.
rescue_shell() {
echo "$@"
echo "Something went wrong. Dropping you to a shell."
/bin/busybox --install -s
exec /bin/sh
}
/bin/busybox mkdir -p /usr/sbin /usr/bin /sbin /bin
/bin/busybox --install -s
# allow the use of UUIDs or filesystem lables
uuidlabel_root() {
for cmd in $(cat /proc/cmdline) ; do
case $cmd in
root=*)
type=$(echo $cmd | cut -d= -f2)
echo "Mounting rootfs"
if [ $type == "LABEL" ] || [ $type == "UUID" ] ; then
uuid=$(echo $cmd | cut -d= -f3)
mount -o ro $(findfs "$type"="$uuid") /mnt/root
else

I bootedshell
nd troubledshooted it the best I could and this is what I get from my initramfs:
| Code: |
WARNING:Failed to connect to lvmetad Falling back to device scanning
|
I also get this error:
| Code: |
/bin/bash: can't access tty; job control turned off
|
And for some reason the initramfs is looking for Volume Logic name ssd and vg for some reason, but it does find my vg. But it can't boot into the system and hangs. And what do you mean it has to be after the #start for real here
Do you mean above the rescue shell? And I'll add the mount proc later on tomorrow.
I think I figured out why it keeps popping up the ssd volume group and vg volume group.
It's this
| Code: |
# everything on the SDD
/sbin/vgchange -ay ssd | rescue_shell
# start the vg volume group - /home and everything for portage - need not die here
/sbin/vgchange -ay vg || rescue_shell
|
Should get rid of the everything on ssd and change the vg to my volume group name and it should work I think [/code] |

kucklehead,
The warning can be ignored. lvmetad is not needed.
| Code: | | /bin/bash: can't access tty; job control turned off |
means that you can only run one job.
Why /bin/bash?
Bash in sot needed in the intrd, the busybox shell can do everything that is needed.
The layout of the int script is
That's the first line anh tells the kernel how to run the script.
Next are the function definitions.
| Code: | rescue_shell() {
uuidlabel_root() {
check_filesystem() { |
Execution starts from the top of the file but functions are not executed as they are defined, only when they are called.
| Code: | | # start for real here |
is the first place that any statements can be executed and it needs to be mounting filesystems as most things will want stdin, stdout and stderr.
Comment out
| Code: | # everything on the SDD
/sbin/vgchange -ay ssd | rescue_shell
# start the vg volume group - /home and everything for portage - need not die here
/sbin/vgchange -ay vg || rescue_shell |
if its not needed.

I don't understand why it is saying this? Again, I am not to fimilar with bash and where do you see /bin/bash at? I understand now those functions are just like functions from python. |

Change | Code: | | /sbin/vgchange -ay gentoo || rescue_shell |
to read
| Code: | | /sbin/vgchange -ay gentoo || rescue_shell "Activating Volume Group gentoo failed" |
When you get into the rescue shell, use it to look around.
Does show your block devices.
Does show your logical volumes?
If not. what error does the command | Code: | | /sbin/vgchange -ay gentoo |
return?
What about just
Are your logical volumes in now.
What did you do differently.
Run the init script in the shell. You will get warnings for all the things that already worked but it might boot.
Do you get a new error?

I can't get into my console as it skips over it and hangs. I have to ctrl +C to get it to say this:
| Code: |
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
|
if that is the shell after that, then I'll run those commands |

I ran those commands you told me to do, and the init kill is not showing up:
Everything shows up in a light purple by the way
ls /dev/mapper:
| Code: |
Control gentoo-root gentoo-swap gentoo-tmp gentoo-var_log
|
ls /dev:
| Code: |
autofs fb0 hwrng loop5 ptmx ram3 tty0 tty18 tty27 tty36
|
There are alot more folders or files in there that I didn't write down
And lastly /sbin/vgchange:
| Code: |
Warning: Failed to connect lvmetad
Falling back to device scanning
4 logical volumes in volume group "gentoo" now active
|
And no, I do not get a different error and it didn't boot at all. The error I still get is:
| Code: |
mount: mounting /dev/mmcblk0p2 on /mnt/root failed device or resource busy
|
I don't have my boot in the lvm as it is outside of it. Could that be the issue? What about if I unmount the device and remount it using find fs? |

kucklehead,
/boot is not mouthed for booting. Whatever reads /boot at boot time has to make its own arrangements.
| Code: | Warning: Failed to connect lvmetad
Falling back to device scanning
4 logical volumes in volume group "gentoo" now active |
Thats good.
| Code: | | mount: mounting /dev/mmcblk0p2 on /mnt/root failed device or resource busy |
Why do yo want to mount /dev/mmcblk0p2 at all?
Your root is /dev/mapper/gentoo-root
That gets mounted by | Code: | | uuidlabel_root || rescue_shell "Error with uuidlabel_root" |
You pass the roof filesystem UUID on the kernel command line with root=UUID=<filesystem UUID of gentoo-root>
It look like you have /usr and /var on gentoo-root, so most of | Code: | # ... to check filesystems and mount our devices.
for m in $mountpoints ; do
#echo $m
check_filesystem $m
echo "Mounting $m"
# mount the device and ...
mount $m || rescue_shell "Error while mounting $m"
# ... move the tree to its final location
mount --move $m "/mnt/root"$m || rescue_shell "Error while moving $m"
done |
can go.
The
| Code: | # ... move the tree to its final location
mount --move $m "/mnt/root"$m || rescue_shell "Error while moving $m" |
Must be after the .
| Code: | for m in $mountpoints ; do
...
done |
is a loop but
| Code: | # ... move the tree to its final location
mount --move $m "/mnt/root"$m || rescue_shell "Error while moving $m" |
must be executed exactly once.
Remove the filesystem checking and mounting loop but keep the | Code: | | mount --move $m "/mnt/root"$m || rescue_shell "Error while moving $m" |
What do you have on the kernel command line?

I do not know why it keeps wanting to mount /dev/mmcblk0p2. I've been trying to figure out how to stop it from mounting it or trying too.
I removed the for loop as what you said:
| Code: |
done
# ... move the tree to its final location
mount --move $m "/mnt/root"$m || rescue_shell "Error while moving $m"
|
I don't know if that is what you meant? It feels to me that m isn't defined? or maybe $m defines it?
my kernel command parameters I will show in a moment, and I think I have root=/dev/mmcblk0p2
here is my kernel parameters:
| Code: |
console=ttyAMA0,115200 kgdboc=ttyAMA0,115200 root=UUID=<root-gentoo> rootfstype=ext4 rootwait dolvm

kucklehead,
| Code: | #echo $m
#/bin/sleep 20
check_filesystem $m
echo "Mounting $m"
# mount the device and ...
/bin/mount $m || rescue_shell "Error while mounting $m"
# ... move the tree to its final location
/bin/mount --move $m "/mnt/root"$m || rescue_shell "Error while moving $m"
done |
I misread my comments. Sorry about that.
Remove that entire block.
The root moving is done by | Code: | | exec /sbin/switch_root /mnt/root /sbin/init |
root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 will tell the kernel to mount /dev/mmcblk0p2 as root, not /dev/mapper/gentoo-root.
You will also have rootwait.
/dev/mmcblk0p2 never appears, so the kernel waits forever.
I'm not sure if root=/dev/mapper/gentoo-root will work or not.

| I removed the whole block and added the UUID in there. root=/dev/gentoo/root was set there and it wasn't /dev/mmcblk0p2. I am recompiling my kernel as we speak. But I really don't know why it keeps wanting to mount /dev/mmcblk0p2 on /mnt/root, and I have my initramfs built into my kernel, so whever I update my kernel the initramfs will be updated as well |

I did everything you said to do and this is the error:
| Code: |
Free initramfs and switched to another rootfs:
chroot to NEW_ROOT, delete all in /, move to NEW_ROOT /, execute NEW_INIT PID must be 1. NEW_ROOT must be on mountpoint
usage: switch_root [-c CONSOLE_DEV] NEW_ROOT NEW_ROOT NEW_INIT [ARGS]
|
Then after that I get this:
| Code: |
end of kernel panic -- not syncing Attempted to kill the init! exitcode=0x00000100]
|
I dug around regarding that issue and it isn't a issue. I found out that my init bottom code needs to be changed from this:
| Code: |
exec switch_root /mnt/root /sbin/init
|
To this:
| Code: |
exec switch_root /newroot /sbin/init
|
I was successfully able to change it to newroot and I fixed the tty error

I don't see mount error with mmcblk0p2, I followed this guide right here that said if you're having trouble with switch_root do this:
| Code: |
# Clean up
umount /proc
umount /sys
umount /dev
# Boot the real thing
exec switch_root /newroot /sbin/init
|
To this:
| Code: |
# Clean up
mount --move /proc /newroot/proc
mount --move /sys /newroot/sys
mount --move /dev /newroot/dev
# Boot the real thing
exec switch_root /newroot /sbin/init
|
This code right here fixed my tty error:
| Code: |
exec setsid sh -c 'exec sh </dev/tty1 >/dev/tty1 2>&1'
|
Now it is telling me that /dev/tty1 doesn't exist and it doesn't show anything that sticks out but only this:
| Code: |
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
|
And I know it isn't the kernel rather the init script itself is messed up somewhere. |
