Package: mondo Version: 2.06-1 Severity: wishlist
Since the mondo package complains in its documentation and the program itself about the stock debian kernels I have been trying to build into my (already custom) kernel the lines needed to provide other support. Specifically from the docs (I think I have all the rest) * stable loopfs support, which means it really needs to be 2.2.19 or 2.4.7 (or later) * initrd ramdisk support (built-in) It would be useful to know which CONFIG lines to put in my .config file so I could do this. I have tried to add -=- snip # # Block devices # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_FD=y # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_XD is not set # CONFIG_PARIDE is not set # CONFIG_BLK_CPQ_DA is not set # CONFIG_BLK_CPQ_CISS_DA is not set # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_DAC960 is not set # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_UMEM is not set # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_COW_COMMON is not set CONFIG_BLK_DEV_LOOP=y # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_CRYPTOLOOP is not set # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_NBD is not set # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SX8 is not set # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_UB is not set CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM=y CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM_COUNT=16 CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM_SIZE=4096 CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD=y # CONFIG_LBD is not set -=- recompiled and reinstalled the kernel, but this still leaves the program complaining: -=- From mindi Fatal error. Can't loopmount /home/tmp.mondo.11814/tmp.mondo.7097/mindilinux/7235/mountpoint.7235; does your kernel support loopfs? If not, please recompile your kernel. Your Linux distro is broken. -=- Checking sanity of your Linux distribution ---promptdialogYN---1--- Your kernel has no ramdisk support. That's mind-numbingly stupid but I'll allow it if you're planning to use a failsafe kernel. Are you? -=- Is it possible the appropriate CONFIG lines could be placed in README.Debian please?
