<0> in the first few lines it looks for that file
<1> that file contains the path for a program to be executed on various hotplug-events ....
<2> i'm going to hax0r into my usb
<0> if its not there it wont run... anyone know if hotplug is a kernel option for 2.6 kernels?
<1> it is
<1> CONFIG_HOTPLUG
<2> =y
<0> lizac : if there is no /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug fil, you should double check your kernel version
<0> hrmmm
<2> i grepped my /boot/config
<1> if CONFIG_HOTPLUG is =y, you have /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug
<2> cd /proc/sys/
<2> ooops got a little excited there
<2> ok the file is there
<2> but it's empty
<1> then your hotplug scripts aren't setting the values properly
<2> -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 2006-07-15 14:03 hotplug
<1> eh
<1> file size in /proc/ is irrelevant
<2> it's empty
<1> no doubt...
<2> heheh
<1> but it should contain something like /sbin/hotplug
<0> u said 2.6.12 right?
<2> .15
<2> etch
<0> hrmm
<0> does hotplug pick up any other usb devices?
<2> is it just supposed to run automatically?
<0> yes if its started
<2> it doesn't start though
<3> hows all doing?
<2> it just runs finds some stuff and quits
<3> is john the ripper available by apt-get?
<1> lizsac: the hotplug scripts won't run in the background. they are just a set of scripts that sets up /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug amoung other things. the kernel is the "daemon" in this case, and will execute the program listed in /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug on hotplug-events ...
<1> sounds to me like your kernel is fine, but your hotplug scripts are acting up
<2> yeah that's why i was going to checkout knoppix config
<0> bigs: apt-cache showpkg john - that it?
<0> kristian: should there be a "/sbin/hotplug" in the /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug, to tell it o run that?
<1> Arron: yeah
<1> btw, this is all theory for me, as I'm basicly quoting the documentation here... never had problems with hotplug
<0> kristian : those files are something thats created every boot right?
<1> Arron: the entire /proc/ directory is contain entierly in memory
<1> so yes, they are "created" at boot
<1> /proc/ is an interface to kernel memory
<0> kristian : kwel didnt know that, i was pretty sure they were automaticly created. so maybe its a kernel compile thing missing? lizac : is this a kernel you made (with whatever config file), or the actual package kernel?
<1> nah, when the file is there, I would say the kernel got the hotplug functions
<1> there wouldn't be a file at all if the hotplug subsystem was missing
<1> but it's up to scripts to set the values
<2> where should i start mucking about in /etc/hotplug?
<1> you can probably set it by echo /sbin/hotplug > /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug , but you want your scripts to do that
<0> kristian : ic, thanks
<1> so it's done properly
<2> there's nothing in /etc/hotplug/usb
<2> :(
<2> which script is supposed to put it in there?
<2> should i test it by echoing it in there?
<1> you could, but don't expect it to do alot of good
<2> bbl thanks for your help
<0> i dont thing he ever said if it was his own compile or not.... that can be a lot of headaches with video devices when its your own compiled, kernel sometimes with dependancies missing somewhere
<1> mhm
<1> I tend to just add a quadzillion options I probably don't need when I'm having issues like that
<1> just to make sure I'm not missing anything
<0> yes, i start like that with tonnes of options to get em all. but found there was a few odd dependency options with webcams outside of v4l2 and usb. im happy now im down to only what i need and no modules, only a small 1.8meg kernel... small with no module i guess
<1> hehe, I have a 2MB kernel on my server
<0> kristian : thats a big one. what do u run on your server? is it for home/work/play?
<1> home
<1> run very little
<1> but I don't care about kernel size
<0> cool, got a homepage i could check out?
<1> nope
<1> I should probably make one, one of these days
<0> i run a big homepage on mine, with a blag, web gallery, webcams, squirrelmail and a couple other things i like to play with
<0> errr blog....
<0> kind of a tinker toy mostly
<0> mythtv is still something ive been plaing with, not much luck
<1> I run mine as a router and file server mostly
<1> oh, and irssi, hehe
<0> thats a text based irc chat right?
<1> yeah
<0> are you a old prompt kinda guy?
<1> depends
<1> I can hardly be called old, beeing only 22
<1> but I do love command prompts, hehe
<0> haha, well most would call ppl that use prompt all the time old-school i think
<0> my linux box is all prompt
<0> no x
<1> yeah, I guess I am a bit old school
<0> i have to admit... i run xp for my desktop.... much easier to work with files and stuf from work
<0> seperate from my 100% debian server
<1> I have been running xp for a while too
<0> i run debian on my xbox if that gies me any extra geek points
<1> because I've run into a bad habbit of gayming
<0> it is easy when time is short
<0> hehe me2
<0> nwn for me
<0> and civ4
<1> well I used to play star wars galaxies, then tried wow... now it's basicly anything
<1> when you quit an mmorpg you find yourself with a lot of spare time on your hands...
<0> hahah.... ya my wife takes all my time now.... and were moving in 2 weeks so time is short. im hiding in the basement now to get away
<1> hehe
<0> i was adicted to guild wars for a while, id never come out except for food and bathroom
<0> speaking of food, im starven, i better go get some. later all
<4> I'm trying to make a new initrd, but when it boots, I get 'pivot_root: No such file or directory'
<4> pivot_root is 100% in the initrd image. the devices are ALL there
<4> what calls pivot_root, and how can I figure out the actual nature of the error
<1> punani: initrd ?
<5> somebody said initrd was initial root disk. initial RAM disk, or god's way of punishing you for using a prebuilt kernel image, or ...And you WILL HAVE TO INCLUDE AN INITRD STATEMENT IN YOUR BOOTLOADER (hint, hint). Typically if you can't find your root filesystem, this is your problem. YOU PROPABLY DONT NEED INITRD IMAGE WITH SELFCOMPILED KERNEL!
<4> I know, but the guy before me added soooooo many modules to this kernel, that sooooo many apps depend on
<1> so ?
<1> you don't need initrd for modules
<4> I'm not rebuilding all of those modukes
<4> sure I do, cause the ide drivers for that kernel are modules (GRRRRR)
<6> hehe
<6> dude
<6> make a proper kernel :)
<1> indeed
<6> 'i dont know **** about initrd anyway :)
<4> I'm not rebuilding all of those modules, since I dont even know where he got most of them
<4> I hate initrd with a p***ion
<1> well I'm not helping you doing stupid stuff
<6> why should you rebuild them?
<6> make menuconfig?
<5> If make menuconfig doesn't work because it says ncurses isn't installed, but ncurses is installed, you need to do 'apt-get install libncurses5-dev'
<4> I just need to figure out how to make pivot_root not fail
<4> nagual: some are asterisk modules
<4> I can make a kernel, and thats why I do on ALL of my boxes
<4> cept this one
<7> http://videos.streetfire.net/video/939B7A12-D0BF-4A14-B9DA-CAAD96603617.htm
<4> I cant even build a kernel on this cause it doesn't boot
<8> i got pivot_root problems when my grub.conf had the wrong "root=/dev/whatever" in it
<8> booted from CD, fixed grub.conf, no more problems
<4> its correct
<4> needs to be /dev/ide/host.....goddamn
<4> and I use lilo
<4> if I use /dev/hdg it fails to even get to grub
<4> er lilo
<4> hm
<4> there we go
<4> Thuryn: that was it
<4> cant be hdX tho... wtf...
<4> I used disc instead of part1 for my root=
<9> Has anyone installed Ubuntu on a machine that uses EFI? A macbook for instance
<1> hi, welcome to #DEBIAN, #ubuntu is THAT way ---->
<1> punani: ubuntu
<5> rumour has it, ubuntu is we *only* support debian stable in this channel. there are over a hundred different offsprings off of debian, all those small changes make them into another os altogether
<9> Alrighty, thought that was where I was
<9> Sorry guys
<1> and while you're at it
<1> punani: survey ?
