creating live usb image for 3.2.1

[r0ller]

Hi All,

 

I tried to create a live usb image by executing:

 

./release.sh -u -c -f usb_image-3.2.1

 

Unfortunately, it failed with the stuff below. Does anyone have any remedy to this?

 

Thanks&regards,

r0ller

Hi All,

 

Actually, it turned out to be a problem with my http_proxy env.var... So finally it worked and I have the iso file bz2-ed which I extracted to get the iso. After that it came into my mind, that minix3.2.1 supports usb mass storages by ddekit as described in the release notes. So I installed dde-linux26 from pkgsrc/minix/. Then I tried to install dde-linux26-usb-drivers but I got the errors below. Could anyone tell me what to do now so that I can test the usb support by writing the iso I have to my usb key using dd? Definitely, the first thing is to get usb drivers installed which failed with the errors below. Thanks for your help in advance!

 

Regards,

r0ller

The ddekit source is slightly out of sync with minix-head; "struct partition" is called "struct part_geom" these days. This.. will be fixed.. I'm sure.

Could anyone tell me what to do now so that I can test the usb support by writing the iso I have to my usb key using dd?

Booting from USB is not supported at all at this time.

Great! Thanks! When shall I expect it?

:( Why isn't it possible again? It got fixed in 3.1.8. When do you think it'll work again?

 

Thanks&regards,

No ETA. It's a trivial change though.

Previous MINIX versions "supported" USB booting by using BIOS calls. This is no longer possible due to our switch to the NetBSD bootloader. Instead, native USB booting support would have to be added now. Again, no ETA, but this is a much larger effort.

Sure:) I'll fix it for the time being locally. Just wanted to know when it becomes generally available.

:( That's not for me. I'm not a system developer...

Isn't it fixed in "release 24" as in "dde-linux26-usb-drivers-24"?

Oh! Well it looks like I'm the one that is out of sync then. Thanks Antoine (and Kees, for the fix) :)

Hi All,

 

Well, it seems that I'm out of sync too but at least I managed to fix it locally:)

Hi All,

 

Another question is how to mount a usb key? I tried (taking the case when a fat32 key got hooked on /dev/usb_disk9) 'mount -t vfat /dev/usb_disk9 /mnt' which resulted in: 'mount: Can't mount /dev/usb_disk9 on /mnt/: invalid argument'. If I simply try: 'mount /dev/usb_disk9 /mnt' then I get:

 

PANIC:

BUG(): ../../lib/src/fs/buffer.c:2257usb_storage(109712): panic:

syslib:panic.c: stacktrace: 0x.... (many more hexa)

mount cannot open /dev/usb_disk9: input/output error

disk <sda> not found

mount: Can't mount /dev/usb_disk9 on /mnt/: invalid argument

 

Any ideas on how to fix it?

 

Thanks&regards,

r0ller

The "fix" is to write a vfat filesystem service.

Do not hold your breath though.

Hi Antoine,

 

Ok, I reformatted the stick with ntfs on windoze. Then I get the same panic if I just mount it like 'mount /dev/usb_diskX /mnt'. If I mount it like 'mount -t hgfs /dev/usb_diskX /mnt' I get the vmware sharedfolder mounted in /mnt:) Is there any other possibility?

 

Thanks&regards,

MINIX mount(8) only guesses MinixFS and ext2fs, I do not believe it is
educated enough to know about NTFS; so you need to ask kindly
mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/jfdhskjfhadskjfh /mnt

(and of course to make sure ntfs-3g package is properly installed)

Please report if it went well!


Antoine

[r0ller]

Hi Antoine,

 

Well, not really:( I installed fuse-ntfs-3g from pkgsrc easily but when mounting as suggested, I get a similar panic:

 

PANIC:

BUG(): ../../lib/src/fs/buffer.c:2257usb_storage(73147): panic:

syslib:panic.c: stacktrace: 0x.... (many more hexa)

Error opening partition device: input/output error

Failed to mount /dev/usb_disk5: input/output error

NTFS is either inconsistent, or you have hardware faults, or you have a

SoftRAID/FakeRAID hardware. In the first case run chkdsk /f on Windows

then reboot into Windows TWICE. The usage of the /f parameter is very

important! If you have SoftRAID/FakeRAID then first you must activate

it and mount a different device under the /dev/mapper/ directory, (e.g.

/dev/mapper/nvidia_eahaabcc1). Please see the 'dmraid' documentation

for the details.

RS: file servers cannot be restarted yet (error -38)

Request 0x701 to RS failed: no such process (error 3)

mount: Can't mount /dev/usb_disk5 on /mnt/: input/output error
