12:08 < d_iulian> hello
12:09 < d_iulian> i have a prob and i do not know how to solve it
12:10 < d_iulian> i managed to compile a t2-minimal from svn but i cannot install it
12:10 < d_iulian> grub cannot install onto partition
12:11 < rxr> hm - what's the grub error ?
12:12 < d_iulian> error 2 stage 1 not found in /boot/grub/stage1
12:12 < d_iulian> error 2 stage 1 not found in /grub/stage1
12:12 < d_iulian> and stage 1 has 512 bytes
12:13 < d_iulian> also on target the /dev is not copied
12:13 < d_iulian> nor created somehow
12:13 < rxr> /dev the directory or it's content ?
12:13 < d_iulian> it's content
12:14 < rxr> the content is dynamic, it
12:14 < rxr> 's populated at runtime
12:14 < d_iulian> ok so let's take it by steps
12:15 < d_iulian> build from T2 from svn version 7.0
12:15 < d_iulian> minimal plus php apache and sqlite
12:16 < d_iulian> install ok. now move to install grub
12:16 < d_iulian> grub complains that (hd0,0)/boot/grub/stage1 not found
12:16 < d_iulian> also /boot/stage1 not found
12:16 < d_iulian> but if i look onto /mnt/target they are there
12:17 < d_iulian> ok
12:17 < rxr> ah - ok - I think that might be a bug in the grub stone scrpt
12:17 < rxr> script
12:17 < rxr> does it work if you run the install a second time ?
12:17 < d_iulian> nope
12:17 < rxr> I fixed such a bug in trunk recently, maybe it's alyo in 7.0
12:18 < d_iulian> hmm
12:18 < d_iulian> what should i do?
12:18 < rxr> have you tried to run stone a second time when the first one failed
12:18 < d_iulian> yes i tried
12:18 < rxr> or better, yet, just re-enter the grub stone menu and select install ?
12:18 < d_iulian> to no avail
12:19 < rxr> hm - ok - I could try to reproduce
12:19 < d_iulian> i even chrooted to /mnt/target ans started grub from there
12:19 < rxr> or you track what's exactly happening, if it's a t2 stone script but or grub that's not finding somehting
12:19 < d_iulian> nope it's not a stone problem as i see it
12:19 < d_iulian> because i ran grub from chroot and it's the same
12:20 < d_iulian> moreover
12:20 < rxr> well - if you manually chroot then /dev is probably indeed empty
12:20 < d_iulian> yep
12:20 < rxr> if you manually try it you should bind mount dev, sys, proc
12:20 < d_iulian> found that on my own
12:20 < rxr> mount /dev /mnt/target/dev --bind
12:20 < rxr> ...
12:20 < d_iulian> hmm
12:20 < d_iulian> lemme see if this fixes the prob
12:20 < d_iulian> gimme 5 min
12:22 < d_iulian> one question
12:22 < d_iulian> grub is run from /usr/sbin or from /mnt/target/usr/sbin?
12:23 < rxr> if you chroot into /mnt/target then the /mnt/target/usr/sbin one is used
12:23 < rxr> t2 stone runs chroot()'ed at the end of package extraction
12:23 < d_iulian> k
12:24 < d_iulian> same message
12:25 < d_iulian> grub root (hd0,0)
12:25 -!- Netsplit kornbluth.freenode.net <-> irc.freenode.net quits: LMJ, koan
12:25 < d_iulian> filesystem is ext2
12:25 -!- Netsplit over, joins: LMJ
12:25 < d_iulian> setup (hd0)
12:25 < d_iulian> Error 2 bad file or directory type
12:26 -!- Netsplit over, joins: koan
12:28 < d_iulian> also when i boot from cd my /boot directory is empty
12:29 < d_iulian> i did not recall for it to be empty in 7.0-rc2
12:30 < rxr> /boot on the cd ?
12:30 < d_iulian> nope
12:31 < d_iulian> after you boot from cd you are left to a command promt
12:31 < d_iulian> and you can browse through the current filesystem
12:31 < d_iulian> the /boot dir is empty
12:31 < d_iulian> there should not be something there?
12:31 < rxr> hm, not necessarily
12:33 < d_iulian> i cannot boot right now an older version to compare
12:33 < d_iulian> but i will do it tonight

13:59 < d_iulian> :(
14:00 < d_iulian> i will try to rebuild everything and burn another disc and try try again....
14:08 < rxr> (hint: I usually quick-test the .iso in qemu -cdrom t2.iso
14:10 < d_iulian> hehe minimal has no qemu in it
14:10 < d_iulian> :)
14:11 < d_iulian> i know about qemu from openembedded
14:11 < d_iulian> i embarked myself in understanding stone
14:11 < d_iulian> i want to solve one of my problems...the dependencies
14:12 < d_iulian> aka i select a package, the system should handle the deps
14:14 < rxr> for the "end user select case" certainly, for the targets most are so special and carefully selected / tweaked for size normal dep resolution does usually not apply
14:16 < d_iulian> yep i agree
14:17 < d_iulian> i did my twaking myself but sometimes is a daunting job
14:17 < d_iulian> it would be much easier if i would have an interface where i can select my packages and the system handle the rest to minimal always
14:18 < d_iulian> well this is just a dream...
14:20 < d_iulian> well
14:21 < d_iulian> i saw somewhere but i do not recall exacty where a target stripped to minimum
14:22 < d_iulian> i'll be back
14:22 < d_iulian> bye

21:45 < koan> it really amazes me how fast T2 boots
22:09 -!- wtracy [n=wtracy@natusers1.stennerglenstudents.com] has quit [Remote closed the connection]
22:13 < bovnet> is that just because its optimized to the cpu
22:16 < koan> yes, that's probably the main reason
22:17 < koan> it's also a 64 bit build, while my Debian installation has 32 bit userland
22:18 < koan> so also the T2 environment feels faster
22:31 < bovnet> im yet to get into using it yet, my first distro just built
22:31 < bovnet> but its back to the t2 environment for changes
22:32 < bovnet> on unbuntu 7.1
22:33 < bovnet> i found trunk worked on ubuntu 7.1 but not 8.04 or 8.1 server
22:35 < bovnet> im trying to replace stone but its way beyond my skill level so will probably drop that idea
22:35 < bovnet> still its better than watchin tv
22:41 < koan> :-)
