[gentoo-soc] cross_container_support - progress report #4

[Jing Huang]

Hi,

== Progress of this Week ==

This week, I try to make the lxc script to support the arm gentoo stage3.

By now, the script can create a gentoo-arm container:

./lxc.sh create -i 192.169.10.104 -g 192.169.10.1 -n gentoo-arm -r
gentoo-arm -a arm

subarch= armv7a

The code has also been updated:
https://github.com/jinghuang/cross_container_support.git

But when starting gentoo-arm, I got lots of warning messages like:

Unsupported ioctl: cmd=0x5429 (0)
Unsupported ioctl: cmd=0x5429 (0)

I am investigating the root cause. I guess I missed the step:

chroot . /bin/busybox mdev -s
(https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Cross_Container_Support_Project)


== Plans for next week ==

1. Continue to debug the lxc.sh for arm arch
2. Try to build an arm program in gentoo-arm container
3. Document the usage of lxc.sh on Cross_Container_Support_Project wiki page.


Best Regards!

Jing.

device generation might be done using some lxc specific mean before
entering the container.

Nice progress =)

I'm looking forward to see your progress =)

Meanwhile I'm landing in portage qemu-user-1.1 and qemu-user-9999

I'll fix the max-args in it soon probably.
