Gentoo install issue...

[mipsonthebrain]

Hi, I'm pretty new to gentoo but not new to linux and not new to Irix

I have a O2 R5k 180mhz that I'm trying to shift from Irix to Linux...

I looked at the gentoo handbook and figured that the install process looked fairly harmless...

So, I have netbooted and the Busybox environment is fine... I have prepared my disk and have chrooted into the new filesystem... I have unpacked latest stage3-mips4 stage and portage (which i'm assuming is a source merging package system)... I have sync'd portage and merged the mips-sources and kgcc64 via emerge which seemed to go without problems...

I have used default make config

Code: Select all

 make ip32_defconfig 

which by the looks of things makes a nice O2 compliant .config file

now issue

Code: Select all

make vmlinux.32 modules modules_install CROSS_COMPILE=mips64-unknown-linux-gnu-

to compile the kernel it does this...

(chroot) gentoo-mips-20050530 linux-2.6.20.14-20070415 # make vmlinux.32 modules modules_install CROSS_COMPILE=mips64-unknown-linux-gnu-

make[1]: *** [init/mounts.o] Error 1
make: *** [init] Error 2

I can't for the life of me work out whats going on... any ideas??

[mipsonthebrain]

Ok I think the ldscripts do not get installed in... I've searched the filesystem and they are no where to be seen

[mipsonthebrain]

sorry I was blind...

its compiling now...

I had to symlink the binutils ld script dir...

probably something to update the handbook with... don't know... I could have done something else wrong

we'll see once it compiles

[Redhatter]

Yeah, there are a few updates needed in the handbook... namely: binutils-config --mips. I've got to investigate the problem a little further though.

(PS: The RaQ2 uses a QED RM5231 CPU running at 250MHz)

[mipsonthebrain]

Yeah... I'm still not there... I compiled with a make vmlinux and not a vmlinux.32

I set it all up to arc load and the kernel barfed as the PROM tried to load it...

So I compile again and now I get this...

Any Tips?

Cheers on the RaQ2 I was about to wip the top off to look

FYI... I had issues netbooting the O2 with the 200Mhz R5k... it was almost like it wasn't downloading the image from the tftp server completely... strangest thing is that the 180Mhz one booted first pop with the same config... go figure...

[mipsonthebrain]

ok... I think I've gotten further...

I have a kernel that starts but thats about it...

ARCLoad version 0.5 (c) 2004-5 Stanislaw Skowronek
Loading configuration for 'ip32(working)'...
Loading scsi(0)disk(2)rdisk(0)partition(8)/working...
Reading 3952774 bytes... OK.
Entering Kernel.

and then we hang.. write here...

this is harder than I thought

[Redhatter]

Yeah... I'm still not there... I compiled with a make vmlinux and not a vmlinux.32

I set it all up to arc load and the kernel barfed as the PROM tried to load it...

So I compile again and now I get this...

Forgot CROSS_COMPILE=mips64-unknown-linux-gnu-? (I've suggested a patch to `Kumba that fixes this... but as yet, nothing has happened)
If the kernel isn't booting however, we're in for some fun, since kernels can be hell to debug at times.

[mipsonthebrain]

well... its not all bad... some crap ended up on the screen so I figured something was working... so I wipped out my serial cable and found things were booting fine... just no framebuffer... I can cope with that... I was running these things headless anyways.


yeah I got the cross compile thing in there... the handbook seems a bit mis-leading... from the looks I felt I needed to compile more than once

after compiling many ways and a bit of "Can't remember what I did but it sort of worked" now its booting quite nicely


getting a few of these from time to time appearing in dmesg

[mipsonthebrain]

well... even though it compiled... I get heaps of nonfatal memory errors and there is that weird stuff in the dmesg output...

I pulled out my Irix tools disk and did a test of the entire system and it all comes back fine.

The machine runs really slowly and the serial console seems to pack up after linux boots... I think I need to compile again and properly...

back to the kernel drawing board I think...

[mipsonthebrain]

now that I've chrooted back in here are those memory non-fatal error messages which there are so many of them they seem to cause syslog-ng to grap all the CPU time... I think this is where the slowness comes from...

spot anything that maybe bad news?

[Redhatter]

Pre-emptive kernels are often bad news on MIPS... otherwise everything should work.

Code: Select all

# CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE is not set
CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY=y
# CONFIG_PREEMPT is not set 

is what you presently have in your .config... I'd try turning off the pre-emptive scheduler, since it's usually much more stable. The constant errors are a worry though... can you also post the output of cat /proc/cpuinfo? Sometimes people dig up odd revisions of CPUs that have all sorts of unhandled edge cases.

[mipsonthebrain]

yeah... sure will do...

... I did a build of netbsd on one of my O2's and it worked first time no errors... which leads me again to believe that the hardware is fine and its my poor kernel build skills

I have multiple disks so I'll shove the gentoo disks back in try a recompile an get you the output from /proc/cpuinfo


My ultimate goal is for linux work properly on these... I want gentoo for its portage tree...

cheers for you help so far mate.

I've put my present kernel up on my site... you can find it here

[mipsonthebrain]

ok... I have re-compiled the kernel with your single suggestion and the errors in dmesg after boot are gone and I have been emerging packages without error...

I think you may have cracked it....

....cheers

[mipsonthebrain]

right... after some serious research, help from you and many nights compiling kernels and I have both my SGI O2's booting from their own disks and running misc things and apache and I'm even using distcc for my portage trees... this works good...

now on to the RaQ2.... I have setup minicom from one of my SGI and have dhcp and nfs up and working... I hold down the left and right buttons and I get the netbooting display on the LCD panel and I get this on the firmware console...

and thats it.... no more...

its getting a DHCP Lease and I can see the nfs traffic via tcpdump... its just halting here for some reason??

any tips again oh wise one?

[Redhatter]

That's interesting... No console output at all? I'm slowly working towards producing some newer netboot images, but my biggest problem has been getting µClibc to play nice.

It would seem from that output, that it isn't executing CoLo, as you should see some mention of that on serial console, as well as a prompt on the LCD panel. Do you see anything at all on the LCD panel after "Netbooting..."? It should ask whether to boot "Network (NFS)", and possibly may ask if you wish to enable serial output.

[mipsonthebrain]

I cracked it....

crappy null modem cable... turns out I had a typo in the dhcpd config...

all going now... after obtaining the "noscsi" netboot image

[mipsonthebrain]

stuck yet again... couple of things I noticed...

the /dev filesystem won't mount into /mnt/gentoo/dev no idea why... and the state archive doesn't seem to have locale-gen in it so I had to get it from another machine...

anyway the major issue is that when merging the mips-sources port, when it tries to configure for gmp it explodes at checking the g++ compiler...

checking for suffix of object files... o
checking whether we are using the GNU C compiler... yes
checking whether gcc accepts -g... yes
checking for gcc option to accept ANSI C... none needed
checking how to run the C preprocessor... gcc -E
