[18:01] <esden> blindcoder: very well ... what kind of backup?
[18:01] <daja77> so it should be enough when we are there between 9 and 10
[18:02] <blindcoder> esden: taper and then using ftp to copy to zero's server

[23:01] <th> netrunner: so i assume you have a devfs mounted below your udev
[23:02] <th> netrunner: which provides /dev/root symlink to you
[23:02] <th> netrunner: so you can populate your /etc/mtab correctly
[23:04] <netrunner> th: well probably I have a kernel that has automount devfs, which is later moved to /dev/devfs by udevd
[23:05] <th> netrunner: correct. now image you're going to use 2.6.13 which lacks devfs
[23:05] <th> netrunner: so who's going to provide /dev/root for you?
[23:06] <th> btw: the mount --move for /dev (devfs) to /dev/devfs is done by /etc/initscript not udevd
[23:10] <netrunner> th: I was wildly guessing. currently debugging some floating point exceptions.
[23:12] <th> netrunner: i just wanted to explain why we /dev/root
[23:12] <netrunner> th: O stoöö dpm
[23:12] <netrunner> I still don't get what I need /dev/root for
[23:12] <th> still - a kernel without devfs can mount root for me. (root=/dev/sda2)
[23:13] <netrunner> th: I always provide root=/dev/foo for the kernel.
[23:13] <th> netrunner: you need it to have a correct /etc/mtab - you need it to know what your rootfs is
[23:13] <daja77> here it couldn't
[23:13] <th> netrunner: as udev runs in userspace kernel wont provide a /dev/root for you (as it did with devfs)
[23:14] <th> daja77: i meant s/can/can't/
[23:14] <daja77> ok
[23:14] <th> of course root=/dev/scsi/... can't work
[23:14] <netrunner> th: so the problem is not the kernel but the initscript that fills the mtab
[23:14] <th> that would be naming policy
[23:14] <th> netrunner: and other userspace tools 
[23:14] <th> netrunner: coorect.
[23:15] <netrunner> can float be negative?
[23:15] <th> netrunner: one idea would be to use /proc/cmdline in /etc/init.d/system directly
[23:16] <th> netrunner: yes
[23:21] <th> daja77: i think kernel should decode root parameter into major/minor numbers
[23:22] <daja77> I think the guy who made that lousy devfs removal patch should be shot in the foot
[23:22] <netrunner> hm, maybe I shouldn't divide by 0
[23:22] <daja77> sounds like a good start
[23:23] <netrunner> ah, works :)
[23:23] <netrunner> only that I play for the opponent :)
[23:36] <th> does udev require initramfs stuff? cant believe that
[23:37] <th> so no one here has a non-devfs udev system running?
[23:37] <daja77> exactly
[23:37] <mnemoc> :)
[23:38] <th> i'd say some root=/dev/ram magic would work. but i dont want to initrd now
[23:39] <daja77> if you have same patches i'd boot a devfs free system
[23:39] <daja77> build*
[23:41] <th> the only point that i'm missing at the moment is how the kernel mounts root
[23:41] <th>     create_dev("/dev/root", ROOT_DEV, root_device_name);
[23:41] <th>     mount_block_root("/dev/root", root_mountflags);
[23:41] <th> pretty straight
[23:43] <mnemoc> rene was two days fighting with the pivot_root replacement kernel did reciently, to something called switch_root afaik
[23:44] <mnemoc> i guess thy also did changes on /dev/root defining
[23:47] <th> yea the whole klibc initramfs stuff
[23:48] <th> but i want to be able to boot a plain kernel
[23:48] <th> without enriching it with initramfs or handing it initr
[23:48] <th> d
[23:59] <daja77> btw the laptop is up and running 2.6.13 atm
