Re: initrd trouble with underlying /dev

2004-07-11 Thread Barak Pearlmutter
It is a simple trick: mkdir /tmp/r mount --bind / /tmp/r cd /tmp/r/dev umount /tmp/r The "mount --bind" remounts a directory so it appears twice, but without any submounts in the target directory. So it was exactly what the doctor ordered. -- Barak A. Pearlmutter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hamil

initrd trouble with underlying /dev

2004-07-09 Thread Barak Pearlmutter
I've got a machine that has been running Debian for a long time. Its root partition is software raid0. It uses a custom kernel, 2.4.22, which does not use initrd. Instead all necessary modules for booting are built into the kernel: hardware drivers, md, etc. The kernel is configured to mounts d

Running iptraf on the bridging laptop while the bridge was up, I saw the DHCP packets flow from the phone across the bridge and out the wireless side: UDP (332 bytes) from 0.0.0.0:bootpc to 255.255.255.255:bootps (src HWaddr 000b82002fce) on eth1 (WIRED interface) UDP (332 bytes) from 0.0.0.0

DHCP over bridge between WiFi and wired

2004-01-08 Thread Barak Pearlmutter
I have a WAP which serves DHCP requests. I have a laptop with an 802.11b interface. The laptop connects to the WAP and gets its IP address via DHCP. I have another device (Grandstream BudgeTone-101, a non-wireless SIP phone) which uses DHCP as it boots. The laptop has an otherwise-unused wired eth

Has anyone gotten the AMD configuration option for the home map to work? We cannot figure it out, and we've tried a couple different things. What would get us on track would be: sample line in /etc/passwd location of user's home directory on remote NFS server proper /etc/exports on remote NFS
