Linux on WinUAE - Page 2

Not your fault.

Code:

/var/lib/dpkg/info/mawk.postinst: line 8:  23917 Segmentation fault

Maybe a mawk (resp. dpkg) package update fixes this? Looks like a bug in the mawk scripting engine (OR dpkg itself) to me, and less likely to be related to WinUAE...

Maybe, maybe not. MMU emulation bugs can easily cause this without crashing the OS.

andreas · 23 September 2009, 18:36

Hmmm...also true. But in case you were right, tracking this down won't be a 5-minute job I'm afraid...;-/

After I partitinoed my hdb Linux says that the disk can't be mounted because it is already mounted (or something similar). Did you encounter that error, too? ('mount' does not show that.)

Yeah, I got that. No and installation (at least appears) to continue normally, yes gets in infinite partitioning loop

I guess something gets confused with your "mount all" initrd.

I tried again installing with beta 21. After loading the ramdisk I got that kernel panic again, that had vanished some time ago. Somebody please check whether the error returned, or if I made some mistake.

gilgamesh · 22 November 2009, 23:52

No error, just a bad ramdisk image.
I use beta22 now, and have a different error than Toni and Andreas. Strange

Toni Wilen · 25 November 2009, 17:13

Probably same problem, practically impossible to debug unless someone finds program that crashes when run manually.

andreas · 26 November 2009, 20:41

@gilgamesh it's not THAT different. Again you too get those segfaults as above with a handful of postinst scripts, as your hardcopy shows.

Toni Wilen · 26 November 2009, 20:45

Perhaps it can be debugged (without too much pain) if someone creates debian installation using real Amiga and uploads the disk image somewhere..

Here you got a hdf image with debian ---Link Removed-- use: http://aminet.net/misc/os/Debian-31r8-m68k-hdf.tar.bz2 (Readme) or http://aminet.net/misc/os/Debian31r8...r5-hdf.tar.bz2 (Readme)
I could not make an install on a real Amiga 'coz my A3000 is apparently dead from leakage

But I managed to squeeze the files form aminet:misc/os/debian-m68k.tar.gz into a Linux partitioned hdf in just 7 days

It boots in single user and the few commands I tried worked. Trying to boot in multi-user on the other hand ends with:
Task '1' re-spawning too fast paused for (IdoNotRememberTheNumber) seconds.
Task '2' re-spawning too fast paused... and so on up to Task 7

Included in the archive is the uae-config that it worked on and the amiboot-script. I used the kernel form aminet:misc/os/debian-m68k.tar.gz

For some reason I had to switch between the /dev/discs/diskX/partX and /dev/hdx schemes in /etc/fstab when switching form booting the official debian-31r8-m68k-binary-1.iso to the installed system even-tough I booted both with the same kernel.

Hope this helps.

Thanks but what is root password?

@Toni: Have you tried 'root' ?

amiga
as stated in http://se2.aminet.net/misc/os/debian-m68k-1.readme .. sorry for not pointing that out..
Found the reason for the /dev/hdx vs /dev/discs/discx/partx issues too;
just include "-r //nativehd/initrd.gz " in the amiboot commandline and both works..

correction: both works after boot, not in fstab

Does Aranym have the same problem as WinUAE? There are some tutorials, but all let you download a preinstalled image. I have found no clear answer.

I don't think so. Problem is that gencpu.c (and anything related to CPU emulation) is very different in WinUAE compared to Aranym (supports all CPUs, not just 68040 etc..) which makes automatic comparison practically impossible.

andreas · 29 January 2010, 20:52

Has anyone (gilgamesh?

) ever tried the Debian Sarge distro on the new 2.x WinUAE versions yet? Maybe something really did change, read as: fewer hangs.

gilgamesh · 30 January 2010, 19:56

The segmentation faults didn't go away, I'm afraid.

(Tested version 2.0.2 beta4)

andreas · 31 January 2010, 21:39

thanks for reporting. nothing to be done about it then for the time being.
