[Buildroot] Buildroot with 2.4.27 kernel: Network problems

[Simon Kagstrom]

Hi Buildrooters!

I have a bit of an odd problem. I have a ARM-based Linux stereo, which
I've rooted and want to add despotify support to and other things (see
here:

  http://simonkagstrom.livejournal.com/51909.html

if you are interested). I'm using buildroot to make my one rootfs for
it. The problem is that it uses a very old kernel, 2.4.27-vrs1, and
while the built buildroot filesystem works, I get problems with network
operations:

  g2 trunk 6869 Island:# ping 192.168.1.104
  PING 192.168.1.104 (192.168.1.104): 56 data bytes
  ping: can't create raw socket: Function not implemented

  g2 trunk 6869 Island:# ./busybox telnet localhost  
  telnet: socket: Function not implemented

and I presume this is because of the kernel version mismatch and
perhaps uClibc. Nslookup also doesn't work


I'm trying to trick buildroot into accepting my 2.4.27 kernel sources
by renaming it linux-2.6.tar.bz2 and hacking a bit, but is so far
unsuccessful. Have anyone else used buildroot with a 2.4 kernel
recently?

Is this with a complete rootfs built by buildroot, or just with the
busybox binary copied over to an existing system? If the last, don't
forget that uClibc doesn't have a stable ABI, so you need to link
busybox statically if you want to run it in a rootfs with another uClibc
version.

No, not as far as I know. 2.4.x is ancient.

I've tried both. I've compiled a static busybox to be able to chroot
into the buildroot rootfs, but both behave the same way.


I know 2.4 is ancient. However, I don't have the sources to even
attempt a port to 2.6 (a request to Philips have been sent though), and
also would like to avoid bricking my system, so I'd like to stay with
the current kernel.

Well, well, I'll see if I can hack something together.

So you get this with a statically built busybox as well? Odd. Ping needs
to be setuid root to work. Are you root?

Ok. I would expect a buildroot generated rootfs to work with the 2.4
kernel without too much trouble.

What kind of hardware is this (CPU type)? How have you configured
buildroot?

Yes, also with the static busybox. I'm root (which by the way is the
only user on the system).

Well, in a way it does work pretty well. Apart from networking, pretty
much everything I've tried works well. However, I really need
networking since I plan to play with mpd and despotify.

It's an NXP ARM, cpuinfo is as follows:

g2 trunk 6869 Island:# cat /proc/cpuinfo 
Processor	: ARM926EJ-Sid(wb) rev 5 (v5EJl)
BogoMIPS	: 54.00
Features	: swp half thumb fastmult 
Hardware	: Philips HasLi-7 PNX0106 A-Hub Server board
Revision	: 0000
Serial		: 0000000000000000

I've attached the buildroot config below. I use 2010.11 by the way
(patched to include libao), but plan to switch to the current git head
to get the mpd package. I'll need to solve this issue first though.

[Buildroot] Buildroot with 2.4.27 kernel: Network problems

If you use the toolchain produced by Buildroot in this configuration to
build your Busybox, then maybe it's this setting causing problem: your
toolchain is built with kernel headers 2.6.36, so its vision of the
userspace <-> kernelspace API/ABI is the one of 2.6.36. And then, you
run your programs with a much, much older kernel.

You should try to build your toolchain with the kernel headers with a
version equal or older to the kernel you're running. Unfortunately,
with a recent Buildroot, you won't be able to specify just "2.4.xx"
version for kernel headers: the mechanism to install kernel headers
when building the toolchain has changed quite a bit between 2.4 and
2.6, and we don't support 2.4 since a long time.

You can probably find some old stuff by looking at the history of
toolchain/kernel-headers/ in Buildroot git, but it's quite likely going
to be a little bit hard to revive the 2.4 support.

Regards,

Thomas
