|
|
I just upgraded from 2.4->2.6 I was running LVM on 2.4 and I uninstalled LVM and emerged LVM2. Now when I boot, the LVM manager doesn't even start. Does anyone know why this could be or a way to fix it? I enabled multi-device support and whatnot as this thread suggested but nothing is working.
I am going to type out the errors:
It gets to *Mounting local filesystems...
then says
mount: special device /dev/vg/usr does not exist
mount: special device /dev/vg/var does not exist.
mount: special device /dev/vg/opt does not exist.
mount: special device /dev/vg/home does not exist
* Some local filesystems failed to mount
few more lines, then:
Could not create needed directory '/var/lib/init.d/softscripts'!
Could not create needed directory '/var/lib/init.d/snapshot'!
Could not create needed directory '/var/lib/init.d/options''!
Could not create needed directory '/var/lib/init.d/started'!
ln: creating symbolic link '/var/lib/init.d/started/checkroot' to '/etc/init.d/checkroot': No such file or directory
Gives about 4 other /var/lib errors
then
localmount': No such file or directory
/sbin/rc: line 376: install: command not found
/sbin/rc: line 421 install: command not found
then a ton of other ln: errors with /var/lib
Does this help at all? |

|

Gentoo doesn't try to start lvm unless it detects that you have lvm support. That means you probably want to do things like add dm_mod to your autoload. Is there a doc on this? _________________ Every time you read a signature, God kills a kitten. |

I had this too. Compile support for your chipset in your kernel, under ATA devices. |

I had this too. My fix was to add MS-DOS partition on Advanced partition options. I had partitioned my harddrive in windows earlier. |

It takes a while for my mouse to start working, after I move it around a few times then it acutally works. How do I actually make it more responsive? |

Taken from http://kerneltrap.org/node/view/799
This build option will prove extremely useful to you as you upgrade to newer and newer 2.6 kernels. At first glance it looks identical to the plain 'make config', however 'oldconfig' reads your current .config settings and automatically answers for you based on these settings, only prompting you for new configuration choices. To use, simply copy in your old .config file, then type 'make oldconfig'. |

This works for me...
cd /usr/src
cp linux/.config /usr/src/linux-2.6.1-rc1/ (- to location of new kernel)
cd
ls -l /usr/src/linux
rm /usr/src/linux && ln -s /usr/src/linux-2.6.1-rc1/ /usr/src/linux (- linux-2.6.1-rc1 represents the name of the new kernel)
ls -l /usr/src/linux (- to check the symlink)
cd /usr/src/linux
make oldconfig
make && make modules_install
mount /boot/
cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/kernel-2.6.1 (- or whatever name you give it)
Edit /boot/grub/grub.conf to point to the new kernel
Reboot
emerge nvidia-kernel
emerge nvidia-glx
reboot _________________ RobFish |

It's basically the same, although I'm sure there are new and different parameters you could pass in. vga=788 doesn't seem to change the resolution anymore. Maybe I forgot to compile support for something.
Anyway, getting down to tacks and nails, you'll want to add something like
Code: |
title=Gentoo Linux 2.6.4-rc1
root (hd0,4)
kernel (hd0,4)/kernel-2.6.4_rc1 root=/dev/hda7
|
Note that you'll need to modify the location of the root partition to reflect your configuration, as well as the name of the kernel image. The () part actually represents the /boot part, so if you don't need to write (hd0,0)/boot/kern.... (although /boot/boot is a symlink to .)
Also note that if you're using a genkernel, things are different, but I'm not sure how because I don't use genkernel.
If you're still having trouble, you could throw your grub.conf up here and a guru could help you figure out how to change it.

If you use genkernel it ends with some nice kernel config stuff for you to try. It also tells you what you must put in your params for the kernel to run at all.
The param vga=0x317 works pretty good. It also says something about splash=verbose. _________________ Scott Carr * OpenOffice.org * Documentation Maintainer

I'll have to check that out. I really do enjoy having a "big" console, even if I'm only in it as fast as I can startx (GDM and such leave a bad taste in my mouth). |

Just thought I should share what I do...
1. Do make menuconfig
2. cp .config /etc/kernels/kernel-config-x86-2.XXXX
3. genkernel all
genkernel copies the default config file from /etc/kernel/ where I put my own .config. Kernel compilation has become a breeze! |

i think what you want is:
Device Drivers --->
Multi-device support (RAID and LVM) --->
[*] Multiple devices driver support (RAID and LVM)
< > RAID support
<M> Device mapper support

Posted: Fri May 07, 2004 6:29 am Post subject: lvm on 2.6 -- are snapshots supported yet? |
|
|
I have a system set up and working under 2.4.25 using lvm. I am using either ext3 or reiserfs (depending on the box's purpose) for all filesystems on all my machines; this box uses ext3. The only non-lvm filesystem is /boot, which is a primary partition formatted as ext2. Even my swap is under lvm,
Now I discover that to fulfill this machine's purpose in life, I have to run it under a 2.6 flavor of kernel.
I need the 2.6 kernel because this machine is destined to be an ipsec tunnel server, and I apparently need 2.6 to support all the modes I need. It must be able to accept a connection from a dynamic ip on a box running various microsoft os's, Mac OS-X, and various linuxes and bsd's. It is basically going to be a VPN tie point for a bunch of diverse road warriors, so they can all access the home network, and all appear to be on the same lan with each other when they are connected. In particular, remote roving laptop video conferencing must be supported. NAT traversal is deliberately being avoided for now, because some of the clients do not support it.
All that is mainly to explain why I have to use 2.6 after I had a basic system up and running 2.4.25.
I use rsync for backup, and I have been configuring all my other boxes to run 2.4.25 and lvm so I could use the snapshot feature of lvm to freeze the filesystems during backup operations.
If I cannot do snapshots under lvm-2 on the 2.6 kernels, then I will have to forgo lvm altogether on the vpn server, as I need the 2.6 kernel to support the ipsec vpn tunnel stuff worse than I need snapshotted backups.
Does lvm-2 under a 2.6.* kernel support snapshots yet? |

|

I have already posted this in "networking," but since
it happened as a result of updating the kernel from 2.4
to 2.6, maybe somebody here will have an answer for
me. :)
After I upgraded the kernel, all the things that I had
worried the most about (sound, video, changing to
udev) worked flawlessly. What failed? SSH!
