Upgrading Mageia1 to cauldron on EeePC 901
I'm upgrading an existing Mageia 1 on my EeePC 901, take care upgrading is longer than installing (seems the sdcard is a bit slow) and it takes a lot of room, besides keeping old version of some rpm... (some dates back to 2010.1... which was a Mandriva Linux at the time :D)
I'm following http://wiki.mageia.org/en/QA_process_for_testing_upgrades
urpmi.removemedia -a
urpmi.addmedia --distrib http://ftp.belnet.be/mirror/mageia/distrib/cauldron/i586/ # take care, will move you to dev
# then, add packages for release for non-free and tainted (only updates were selected by default)
urpmi --debug --bug /root/log --replacefiles --auto-update --auto # take care: will download first all rpm (which exploded my / partition.... saw it in the morning)

Well, 1,5 GB was not that suficient at / for all rpm :/ There should be at least 2 GB to download first all packages then install them
some errors

well, same result, of course
another try:
of course, dracut -f only produces an initrd for 2.6.37.7 which is the kernel booted from the USB key with Mageia 1 :-)
well next step would be to try to regenerate initrd for 3.3.1... from the chroot
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-kernel-70/having-issues-with-creating-initrd-img-for-a-3-3-1-kernel-938918/ (not relevant at all in fact)
http://www.mail-archive.com/mageia-dev@mageia.org/msg13622.html initrd not a symlink (well, afaic, I've got the symlink but not the initrd /o\)
http://www.mail-archive.com/mageia-discuss@mageia.org/msg06489.html
tried dracut -f 3.3.1 # to make it fast (well, not so sure it works that way o_O)
https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5276
https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5076 grub bug mixing hd0 & hd1 ?
well dracut -f /boot/initrd-3.3.1-2-mga2 nearly works:
- the symlink for grub is correct
- I get a dracut debug shell
- completion does not work
- loadkeys fr works! (well qwerty too, initially)
- how come none of the usual commands are available? WTF? what's the use of this shell if I cannot get access to Internet? (or modify /boot/grub/menu.lst... which does not even exist o_O)
- the error comes from:
- Warning "/dev/disk/by-uuid/6aa...9c" does not exist
- dropping to debug shell
some help coming from tmb
01:08 < baud> not this time, I simply upgraded changing the mirrors to cauldron
01:08 < edge226> Umeaboy: looks like it.
01:09 < Umeaboy> I want to build wine since Spotify crashes on launch for me.
01:09 < Umeaboy> I followed the instructions from the website.
01:09 < Umeaboy> The gui loads, but crashes.
01:09 < edge226> Umeaboy: looks like you need the X library development package.
01:09 < tmb> baud: chroot into nonworking system and do: dracut -f /boot/initrd-3.3.1-desktop-2.mga2.img 3.3.1-desktop-2.mga2
01:10 < Umeaboy> edge226: I thought checking the box for Development installs this from the installation-process.
01:10 < baud> tmb: did that, encountered debug shell of dracut
01:10 < baud> no completion
01:10 < baud> another filesystem :/
01:10 < tmb> that's because the shell is in initramfs, not on disc
01:10 < baud> ok
01:11 < edge226> Umeaboy: I am just going by what the error messge was.
01:11 < baud> then ? at least uname -a shows 3.3.1 (which I do not have with USB key then chroot)
01:13 < edge226> Umeaboy: just use the package manager and look up xorg or something then see if any of the -devel or -lib-devel packages are missing.
01:13 < tmb> baud: you need to specify the command _exactly_ as I wrore it so it knows exactly what kernel you want, or it will try to copy modules from
running kernel
01:14 < edge226> Umeaboy: a little searching for a few different things and you will most likely find the missing package. but that error was referring
that you have a package missing.
01:15 < Umeaboy> Yes, but I wish that the script would tell me which,
01:15 < baud> tmb: eh I told you I wrote it just as you just told it
01:15 < Umeaboy> Aaaaaah, well......
01:15 < edge226> Umeaboy: you are 64 bit right?
01:15 < Umeaboy> Yes.
01:15 < edge226> Umeaboy: its telling you that you are missing 32 bit stuff.
01:16 < tmb> baud: sorry, I read other info on your page
01:16 < Umeaboy> I'm install all xorg-related devel-packages that I found.
01:16 -!- danielko [~chatzilla@128.238.182.109] has joined #mageia
01:16 < baud> as before it wrote a 2.6.38-7 kernel (by default, from USB key kernel of Mageia 1 liveCD)
01:16 < Umeaboy> installing
01:16 < edge226> Umeaboy: that should fix it but it wont let you know what exactly it was that you are missing...
01:16 < baud> tmb: hmmm maybe I wasn't suficiently precise, as I tried many things :-)
01:17 < baud> if grub would ignore initrd and just boot 3.3.1, I could upgrade with urpmi.update -a then solve my problem :-)
01:18 < baud> I end up in dracut debug shell now, it lacks diagnosis commands :/
01:18 < Umeaboy> It didn't help.
01:18 < baud> (and network)
01:19 < tmb> baud: it cant as it needs working initrd to be able to boot the hw
01:19 < baud> ah
01:19 < tmb> baud, but I assume you have a working 2.6.38 kernel and initrd still installed on that system
01:20 < baud> well, 2.6.38-7 does not boot (fb, drm driver problem) but 3.3.1 does not boot either :/
01:21 < tmb> baud, well, what was latest kernel that was working before the upgrade ?
01:21 < tmb> it should still be there
01:22 < baud> I'm going to try 2.6.36 : well the same, "cannot open file delete" then systemd-fsck then some strange characters... I can wait till it
boots...
01:22 < baud> it was 2.6.38 but does not boot any more :/
01:23 < tmb> have you fixed the device.map
01:23 -!- pterjan [~pterjan@027d0e0e.bb.sky.com] has quit [Quit: Leaving]
01:23 < tmb> ?
01:23 < baud> tmb: yep, seen this, did not work on it (grub related)
01:23 < baud> I thought having an initrd would solve this
01:23 < tmb> well, without it grub wont be able to boot your hw either :/
01:24 < tmb> so chroot into it, do: cp /boot/grub/device.map.old /boot/grub/device.map
01:25 < baud> that's from a previous change : I added a partition reducing the first windows partition and adding one (it messed up my configuration but I
ended up booting it)
01:25 < baud> I can try this
01:26 < tmb> then alter /boot/initrd.img and /boot/vmlinuz symlinks to point to the latest known working kernel, check that it's still listed in
/boot/grub/menu.lst
01:27 < tmb> then boot with the working kernel, uninstall and reinstall the new kernel and check that initrd got created before you try to rebooot again
01:27 < baud> in fact the initrd only rely on a working kernel, then lets the new kernel booting
01:27 < tmb> that should get you up and running again
01:28 < baud> that should do it
01:28 < tmb> baud: the initrd must match the kernel you try to boot
01:31 < baud> eh my /boot/grub/device.map was empty, replaced it with old one (telling that hd0 is sda)
01:31 < baud> fine, now I've got a drm/fb problem
01:31 < baud> emergency mode
01:32 < baud> that's better
01:34 * tmb got to get some sleep now, have to get up again in ~4 hours
01:35 -!- tmb [~t_m_b@85.134.54.173] has quit [Quit: Lämnar]
01:35 < baud> fine :-) thanks a lot tmb
well, I edited device.map (which was 0 size) : this told that hd0 is sda, which permitted to boot a bit farther
ah a new problem with dracut : uname -a shows 2.6.38.8-desktop-8.mga and gives an error E:libkmod: index_mm_open: major version check fail which I had not before
I can try booting USB key with mageia 1 to generate initrd once again (not having those errors), booting with grub without initrd would be more simple imho though, well...
