SysVInit (RC Scripts) on HHL 2.0

SysVInit (RC Scripts) on HHL 2.0

[James F Dougherty]

Hi,

I am using HHL 2.0 (2.4.2) on MPC8240 and I downloaded
the root filesystem RPM's from

ftp://ftp.mvista.com/pub/Journeyman/cd2/ppc_82xx/apps/*.rpm

and installed them on my root filesystem.

Question: How come none of the init scripts work?

I have to run:

devfsd /dev
mount -a

every time I boot. It spawns a getty, but none of the rc
files get called ...


Is there some bug in HHL 2.0 on ppc_82xx I don't know about?

			Thanks,
			-James

sounds like a user error during installation.  try using the installer,
otherwise you have to figure out the dependancies by hand.

See the HHL-JE-20.pdf file located in the (doc) documentation
directory.  I point you at Chapter 7, Additional Configuration
Information.  (Specifically at the initdconfig section.)

Assuming you used the installer, only the init scripts required to boot
a minimal system (and be able to telnet in and use nfs root) are
enabled.  Anything beyond that you, the developer/user will need to
enable.  If you did not use the installer, you probably got a bunch of
messages during installation such as "Unable to enable initd service:
checkfs.sh".  These messages mean that the initdconfig program was not
able to be run for some reason or another, thus you probably don't have
ANY initscripts installed.

The initscripts are further discussed in the "Initscript Overview"
section of Chapter 7.

FYI, if you did not use the installer, and want to try to "rescue" your
installation, the following initscripts are enabled by default in the
installer.  (If I list an initscript you don't have ignore it, it isn't
part of Journeyman then.)

bootmisc.sh    	S:on
checkfs.sh     	S:on
checkroot.sh   	S:on
devpts.sh      	S:on
mountall.sh    	S:on
mountnfs.sh    	S:on
umountfs       		0:on						6:on
umountnfs.sh   		0:on						6:on
ifupdown       	S:on
networking     	S:on
inetd          				2:on	3:on	4:on	5:on
portmap        	S:on
syslog         				2:on	3:on	4:on	5:on
