We have seen this behavior installing with Anaconda as well (RPL-1883).
Comment by Stas Kysel (Inactive) [ 13/Dec/07 ]
I can not reproduce kernel tag messages, only awk dumps.
Tag messages are interesting, because there's really no /boot/System.map-boot/vmlinuz2.6.22.9-1.smp.gcc4.1.x86_64.
Any specific setup is necessary to get tag messages?
Comment by Michael K. Johnson [ 13/Dec/07 ]
For this issue, just fix the awk dumps. I think that will fix the other messages; if not, we'll want
to open separate issues for those cases.
Comment by Stas Kysel (Inactive) [ 14/Dec/07 ]
2 errors here:
1. awk crashes if there is nonexistent file in it's args. Reproducer:
awk '{}' /nonexistent
BTW, this doesn't affect :1 - gawk prints error message to stderr in this case.
Fixing this...
2. Kernel tag relies on null output of awk in case when /etc/fstab is not present:
rootdev=$(awk '{ if ($1 !~ /^[ \t]*#/ && $2 == "/")
{ print $1; exit}
}' /etc/fstab)
label=${rootdev/*=/}
I guess, something like this won't harm:
[ -f /etc/fstab ] && rootdev=.....
Comments?

That probably makes sense – should probably make sure it's empty before that.
Comment by Stas Kysel (Inactive) [ 17/Dec/07 ]
awk bug is known: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnu-utils/2006-01/msg00058.html
It is fixed in current version gawk-3.1.6.
Our package is using 1 patch from srpm, and patch for this issue is present in srpm also, but is
not used by us: gawk-3.1.5-free.patch
gawk issue fixed by upgrading gawk to latest version.
gawk:source=/conary.rpath.com@rpl:devel/3.1.6-1
"make check" in test directory says "ALL TESTS PASSED"
Binary packages and deps are ok.
As a side effect of upgrading, we don't need to move locales in recipe anymore.
Comment by Stas Kysel (Inactive) [ 18/Dec/07 ]
/sbin/mkinitrd is using /etc/fstab as well, and it is assuming that it's present.
In mkinitrd, fstab location defaults to /etc/fstab but can be set using command line switch (just
like many of it's derivatives detailed below).
If fstab doesn't exist, then mkinitrd can't determine correct arguments for "mkrootdev" to put it
into initrd, and initrd will be invalid.
Therefore, mkinitrd should fail in case of absense of fstab file (this should be checked after
setting fstab file name from command line, in presence of corresponding switch). Fail with
some useful diagnostic message.
Probably we can try to issue warning and try to guess correct values for root and swap, using
root filesystem mounted during mkinitrd execution, but that looks -- like too much heuristics,
too complex to realize for user, in case we won't guess correctly.
/sbin/mkinitrd needs fstab to:
1. Find out root filesystem type ($rootfs). $rootfs is used for:



installing appropriate module into initrd
handlenfs() or handlelvordev()
"mkrootdev" instruction for nash
2. Find out root filesystem options ($rootopts). If not found, value of "defaults" is used.
$rootopts is used for:


loopback root device recognition
"mkrootdev" instruction for nash
3. Find out root filesystem device ($rootdev). Used for:



handlenfs() or handlelvordev()
finding out $devname
"mkrootdev" instruction for nash
4. Find out first swap device ($swsuspdev). Used for:


handlelvordev()
"resume" instruction for nash
Comment by Stas Kysel (Inactive) [ 18/Dec/07 ]
In :1
1. "conary --root=rpath/ update group-core=conary.rpath.com@rpl:1" doesn't install kernel.
This obviously happens because kernel is included in group-core but byDefault=False
while in :devel kernel is part of group-bootable, included in group-core.
2. installing kernel explicitly spits out 1 awk warning (it comes from tag handler probably)
3. /sbin/mkinitrd has code very similar to the one I have in my repository, and almost in the
same place:
4. if [ ! -r "$fstab" ]; then
5.
echo "error: $fstab is not readable"
6.
exit 1
7. fi
It's added in mkinitrd-robust.patch.
The patch has one more change, already in :devel.
Therefore:
1. We may need to do something about groups.
2. I should commit my changes to mkinitrd.
Comment by Stas Kysel (Inactive) [ 20/Dec/07 ]
Done.
