Dear Debian Kernel Team, I have built a Debian/Wheezy filesystem, starting with debootstrap, for a diskless single-board computer (MVME7100 from Emerson) featuring a Freescale MPC864xD SOC (dual core PowerPC e600). The kernel version is 2.6.29. It is not compatible with the version of udev distributed with Wheezy; therefore udev is not installed. Since the board does not feature virtual consoles, but only a serial console, I have also removed console-kit and the few packages which depend on it, notably policy-kit. The filesystem is nfs-mounted during an initramfs sequence which terminates by a switchroot. Then the Debian "make-like" init starts. There are some special features because the filesystem must be shared between several identical hosts. /run is mounted as tmpfs, and /var/lib is partly shared/partly common, by the means of soft links created during initialization. For example /var/lib/ntp is private to every host, while /var/lib/dpkg is shared. Up to now everything installs well, except nfs-common. I have installed and removed it, then reinstalled. When it is installed, I can still mount remote filesystems but the init script does not work, which means that /home cannot be mounted automatically at boot. Here is the log of installation: apcdc3:/etc/init.d# apt-get install nfs-common Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Suggested packages: open-iscsi watchdog The following NEW packages will be installed: nfs-common 0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

BTW, I do not mean to use NFS V4; just V3. Thanks. Didier Kryn |
