Howto create an initrd image
June 01, 2012 04:51AM
Hi,

I'm currently bussy with compiling the latest stable kernel (3.3.7) from kernel.org for the pogoplug and it's booting till the point it searches for his own specific modules in de initrd ramdisk.

Loading, please wait...
[ 20.532435] udevd[50]: starting version 175
Begin: Loading essential drivers ... modprobe: chdir(3.3.7): No such file or directory
done.

Ok, should not be an issue, we create our own initrd image. Some sidenote should be mentioned, i succesfully compiled the kernel in a cross compile enviroment using codesourcery-arm-2011.03.sh. When i'm executing mkinitramfs-kpkg to create an initial ramdisk it is searching in the root (/lib/modules) of my cross compile machine and not in cross compile environment of the target kernel source (/home/user/crossc/linux-3.3.7/lib/modules):

mkinitramfs-kpkg -o initrd 3.3.7
Deprecation WARNING: use update-initramfs(8)
grep: /boot/config-3.3.7: No such file or directory
WARNING: missing /lib/modules/3.3.7

Question is how do i succesfully create a ramdisk image for the pogoplug in een cross compile environment? Thnx in advance!

Answering my own question (for the sake of informational purposes)

After compiling your own kernel
make oldconfig && make menuconfig && make uImage && make modules && make modules_install
using a crosscompile environment or, in this case, using the target environment (pogoplug) itself, one can enter the folowing command:

mkinitramfs [OPTION]... -o outfile [version]

So in my case it will be: mkinitramfs -o linux-3.3.8 3.3.8. This creates a initramfs image named linux-3.3.8. This image must be prepared for uboot:
mkimage -A arm -O linux -T ramdisk -C gzip -a 0x0000000 -e 0x0000000 -n "Pogoplug Ramdisk" -d linux-3.3.8 uInitrd


Booting a Linux 3.3.8 kernel using this specific uInitrd on a Pogoplug v02 gives the folowing output:

Conclusion, creating an initial ramdisk succeeded, but output like

 runaway loop modprobe binfmt-464c

is aparently an error message of the kernel tries to start /sbin/init but it won't recognize the binary format ... so my crosscompile environment (codesourcery-arm) is not yet working properly as it should ...

a fresh recompile of the 3.3.8 kernel and creation ot the ramdisk using the pogoplug environment itself, taking upto several hours ... booting of the 3.3.8 kernel results in the following output:

Hmzz... the ramdisk is apparently configured to boot from disk using an uuid from initial target i used building the ramdisk image ... thats one small glitch

Re: Howto create an initrd image
June 12, 2012 06:59AM
based on the mkraminitfs manual:

Main Logic

Here is mkinitramfs execution chain:

setup
    Load plugins, mount /sys and /proc, adjust kernel messages level. 
udev
    Start udev daemon, trigger device events - /dev/starts getting populated. 
find root
    Run in loop for one minute, periodically running loaded plugins to find our root devices. UUID of root file system was hardcoded during initramfs creation and can be overridden from command kernel line. 
mount root
    Once root is found run fsck on it, then mount. 
chroot
    Move /dev, /proc and /sys to new root - why umount them if they will be mounted again by init scripts? Chroot to new root exec-ing real init.

Question is, how does one define an UUID when there's no access yet to the target system? Answer, through uboot bootloader. For example: setenv bootargs $(console) root=UUID=12345678-901-2345-6789-0123456789012 rootdelay=5

Finally succes by adding root=/dev/sda3 to bootargs_console of u-boot

setenv bootargs_console console=ttyS0,115200 root=/dev/sda3

Nice detective work.

Is that 3.3.8 kernel your own, or from Debian?

Fresh from kernel.org, compiled by my own! Nothing special though, just a small patch removing some compile glitches during compilation of some modules.

Need to say that without the help of this forum (especialy your .config of 3.3.2) and the u-boot irc channel i hadn't come this far this quick. Also it's a rough build, i tested very few funtions ...

Uncompressing Linux... done, booting the kernel.

and there it stalls, as expected.

Re: Howto create an initrd image
January 06, 2013 06:18PM
I've been fighting with doing cross-compile on my Debain desktop system this all day. Everything goes ok -- and it's a lot faster than building the kernel on the pogoplug -- but it just won't boot.

I discovered that mkinitramfs pulls binaries and libraries from the *host* system, even though it (correctly) pulls modules from the cross-compiled target. Beats me how anybody is able to create a uInitrd on their 386 system, like they seem to. Maybe there's an extra step that I'm just not seeing?

Anyway ... I going to see if I can hack up a copy of mkinitramfs that will do the right thing. If that fails, my fallback position is to build on the desktop and then copy the binaries to the pogoplug and do the mkinitramfs on it.
