[gentoo-catalyst] USE hal and kernel config

[gentoo-catalyst] USE hal and kernel config

[Christophe PEREZ]

Hi,

I have an error when I'm trying to create a livecd.
I have "hal" in my USE.
But, when compiling sys-apps/hal-0.5.5.1-r3, it seems looking for kernel
config :

>>> md5 src_uri ;-) hal-0.5.5.1.tar.gz
 * Determining the location of the kernel source code
 * Found kernel source directory:
 *     /usr/src/linux
 * Found sources for kernel version:
 *     2.6.15-gentoo-r5

 * getfilevar requires 2 variables, with the second a valid file.
 *    getfilevar <VARIABLE> <CONFIGFILE>
 * Could not find a usable .config in the kernel source directory.
 * Please ensure that /usr/src/linux points to a configured set of Linux sources.
 * If you are using KBUILD_OUTPUT, please set the environment var so that
 * it points to the necessary object directory so that it might find .config.

!!! ERROR: sys-apps/hal-0.5.5.1-r3 failed.
!!! Function linux-info_pkg_setup, Line 534, Exitcode 1
!!! Unable to calculate Linux Kernel version
!!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, NOT this status message.


How can I solve that please ?
May be I have to prevent hal to compile in livecd-stage1, and compile it
only in livecd-stage2, but I don't know how.

Don't.

You would need manual intervention get get kernel sources + a kernel
config into your livecd-stage1 target.

I *highly* recommend against not having hal in USE.

You would have to remove *every* package that would pull in hal from
livecd-stage1 and move them to livecd-stage2.  Trust me, it won't be
pretty.

Ok, I remove it.
May be I have a lot of uses like that... (pcmcia?)

My livecd-stage1 is built.
But I can't build the livecd-stage2. I always get an error :

>>> Unpacking eciadsl-usermode-0.10.tar.gz to /var/tmp/portage/globespan-adsl-0.10/work

I tried to disable IEEE in kernel config, but it doesn't change anything :

# CONFIG_IEEE80211 is not set
# CONFIG_IEEE80211_DEBUG is not set
# CONFIG_IEEE80211_CRYPT_WEP is not set
# CONFIG_IEEE80211_CRYPT_CCMP is not set
# CONFIG_IEEE80211_CRYPT_TKIP is not set


If someone can help me to find where is my mistake....
I have tried a lot of things. Nothing work.
That's certainly du to a bad USE or something like that, but I don't know
what to try else.

I'm using :
- portage snapshot 20060123 (official, not mine).
- kernel config

I tried to use something near from official livecd, but I not sure I use

As I didn't find another solution, I removed them.

Now, my livecd is built, but I have somethings not working with it, may be
catalyst bugs ?

1) livecd/users:
is not used, no user created.

livecd/users: novazur
and grep novazur tmp/default/livecd-stage2-i686-cp20060411/etc/passwd
doesn't give anything.


2) ##STARTX not anymore replaced :

# cat tmp/default/livecd-stage2-i686-cp20060411/root/.bashrc
#!/bin/bash

if [ ! $(grep nox /proc/cmdline) ]
then
        if [ -x /usr/bin/X ]
        then
                if [ -e /etc/startx ]
                then
                        rm -f /etc/startx
                        ##STARTX
                        [ -f /etc/motd ] && cat /etc/motd
                fi
        fi
fi

http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.catalyst/185/match=startx


3) Impossible to startx, I had to manually create /tmp/.ICE-unix


4) no more XkbLayout in xorg.conf. I was used to parse it and replace
(sed) it by :
sed -i 's/Option  *"XkbLayout" ""/Option "XkbLayout" "fr"/'
/etc/X11/xorg.conf

Now, I had to add the line in my initscript :
sed -i 's/\(XkbVariant.*$\)/\1\n\tOption\t"XkbLayout" "fr"/'
/etc/X11/xorg.conf

http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.catalyst/191/match=


5) /etc/profile not sourced before starting X.
I suggested something that seems desapeared :
--- livecdfs-update.sh.orig     2005-07-14 14:02:12.000000000 -0400
+++ livecdfs-update.sh  2005-07-14 14:03:05.000000000 -0400
 <at>  <at>  -79,7 +79,7  <at>  <at> 
 if [ -n "${clst_livecd_users}" -a -e /etc/startx ]
 then
        first_user=$(echo ${clst_livecd_users} | cut -d' ' -f1)
-       sed -i "s/##STARTX/su - $first_user -c startx/" /root/.bashrc
+       sed -i "s/##STARTX/su - $first_user -c \"source /etc/profile && startx\"/" /root/.bashrc
 fi

http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.catalyst/265/match=1+10+5

But is livecdfs-update.sh is it always used by catalyst ?

Is it something broken ?

Even if I do all what I need in fsscript and in an init script (create
user, make /tmp/.ICE-unix, replace ##STARTX in root/.bashrc...) X is not
started at boot.

I don't have "nox" in /proc/cmdline, /usr/bin/X and /etc/startx exist. 


Please (Chris?) !

Not likely.

What livecd/type are you using?
