-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi folks - Making a customized initrd based on the Fedora one. Need help from folks wiser and/or more experienced than I am :-) Having good success until I needed to include an app in the initrd which is dynamically linked, for example Fedora's ifconfig. Using objdump -x /sbin/ifconfig I can see that it depends only on libc.so.6. So I copy over from a Fedora install libs until my initrd /lib is like this: - -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 106604 Dec 4 13:45 ld-2.3.2.so lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 Dec 4 13:45 ld-linux.so.2 -> ld-2.3.2.so - -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1573260 Dec 4 13:45 libc-2.3.2.so lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Dec 4 13:45 libc.so.6 -> libc-2.3.2.so Then my script creates a /etc/ld.so.conf containing just /lib and does an ldconfig inside the (temporarily mounted) initrd echo "/lib" >$RHINITMOUNT/etc/ld.so.conf ldconfig -r $RHINITMOUNT That does create an /etc/ld.so.cache. Here is the initrd /bin - -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 45910 Dec 4 13:45 dhcpcd - -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 50552 Dec 4 13:45 ifconfig - -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 133016 Dec 4 13:45 insmod lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Dec 4 13:45 modprobe -> /sbin/nash - -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 29236 Dec 4 13:45 nash - -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 40870 Dec 4 13:45 nbd-client The problem is when nash runs, for all dynamically linked apps, for example, ifconfig, it reports ERROR: /bin/ifconfig exited abnormally! There is no other information to help discover what the problem is -- can anyone help with some advice? All of the files are taken from current Fedora packages available yesterday. - -Andy -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/zz5fjKeDCxMJCTIRAsC3AJ4mXXn/QabhOOvW7kcdLjfWSjfYjgCfSpxF KhO5DsbHZipGq3O8AEF4Hjc= =lDpz -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
