Like I said, I modulized as much as I could. The rest needs to be in there.
I now even modulized IPv6 (which has been buggy in the past when compiled as
module), and IPSec. I also turned off verbose SCSI errors, even though I want
them, as well as .config in the kernel.
Unstripped arch/sparc/boot/image:
2.9M Nov 19 01:57 /boot/vmlinux-2.6.0-test9
1.2M Nov 19 01:58 /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.0-test
Stripped with "strip -R .comment -R .note image -o image.stripped"
2.3M Nov 19 02:17 /boot/vmlinux-2.6.0-test9
1021k Nov 19 02:18 /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.0-test9
Well... the stripped one booted. Almost. It seems the kernel would prefer it
it had AF_UNIX in the kernel. Right now it just loops the
insert-modules/mount all filesystems part of the startup. Or did I forget
make modules_install?
No, I found the bug. csum_partial is not exported in sparc, but it's exported
in sparc64. Damn 64bit snobs won't fix it in the 32bit boxen. :-)
While I was in there I checked if there were any other symbols that might be
missing. Yup. sparc_flush_page_to_ram
*sigh*
I tried insmodding every module (except the nls ones), and in the end:
$ lsmod | wc -l
109
I added sparc_flush_page_to_ram and csum_partial to
arch/sparc/kernel/sparc_ksyms.c and rebooted (I compile over nfs you see, and
sunrpc wanted csum_partial).
Hmm, so it's 3:27am and my left foot is freezing since I've misplaced that
sock. Time for another compile.
Aaah, found the sock. Much better.
Well. This time it booted and seems to work fine, except for keyboard and
mouse not working (like Otto said), and the framebuffer seems to be on
vacation too. Correction, it just crashed. The screen is all-white, and
Stop-A doesn't work. Oh well, fun while it lasted. Back to 2.4.x I go.
Oh, and debian related. I got this:
warning: process `update' used the obsolete bdflush system call
Fix your initscripts?
Fixed in sarge/sid? (this box runs woody + module-init-tools)
What I added to arch/sparc/kernel/sparc_ksyms.c was:
EXPORT_SYMBOL(sparc_flush_page_to_ram);
EXPORT_SYMBOL(csum_partial);
I'll send a mail to lkml about this.
