[arch-projects] [netctl][PATCH 0/2] wifi-menu: handle rfkill switches.
by Ivan Shapovalov 28 Feb '14

28 Feb '14

This is an usability improvement that makes wifi-menu to temporarily enable the interface's rfkill switch before doing a network scan. I don't think that this is too much of automatism and "software being smart", because it honors existing per-interface rfkill settings, so it is just in line with the rest of netctl's wireless support.

[arch-projects] [mkinitcpio] lz4 support
by Chris Rule 21 Dec '13

21 Dec '13

Hi, sorry in advance if I haven't reported this correctly. I was hesitant to file a bug report until I was sure it is a bug, and what the bug was in. I just tested lz4 compression with mkinitcpio after noticing it in the conf.pacnew. When I rebooted I got the following error after grub and my computer froze: [0.<cut>] Initramfs unpacking failed: junk in compressed archive [0.<cut>] Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0) [0.<cut>] CPU: 0 PID: 1 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 3.12.5-1-ARCH #1 [0.<cut>] Hardware name: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd.

I saw the note about using a recent version of lz4 so I installed the most recent version with pacman before running mkinitcpio -p linux and no errors were produced. So far I haven't found anything constructive from searching the internet but three possibilities have occurred to me: 1) I first found the messages to the linux kernel mailing list adding support for lz4 to the kernel, describing it for arm and x86 so I initially assumed lz4 compressed images weren't supported with x86_64. 2) I then read the thread (https://code.google.com/p/lz4/issues/detail?id=83) linked from the lz4 commit in the mkinitcpio git repository ( https://projects.archlinux.org/mkinitcpio.git/commit/?id=b5927393d103af9b8b…) although I'm not sure I understood everything in that thread I wonder if it may be a bug in lsinitcpio. 3) grub has "insmod gzio" in grub.cfg for all arch menu entries and looking at gzio on the grub git it states it is for gzip decompression. I also found lzopio.mod in /usr/lib/grub/i386-pc and /usr/lib/grub/x86_64-efi, though I can't find any description for it I wonder if grub needs another module for decompressing the lz4 ramdisk. Has a lz4 compressed ramdisk worked for anyone else and if it has can you help me rule out any of these options or does anyone think I missed something? I'm using kernel v3.12.5-1, grub (BIOS, not EFI) v2.00.1282.g5ae5c54-1, lz4 v109-2, mkinitcpio v16 and Arch x86_64. Many thanks. Please note: I copied the error message manually from the frozen computer and cut the times and the groups of hexadecimal characters relating to my motherboard/bios but I can recreate the issue to get them if it helps resolve the problem.

[arch-projects] [mkinitcpio][PATCH] kernel-install: add hook
by Tom Gundersen 13 Dec '13

13 Dec '13

This will allow systemd's kernel-install script to generate and install an initrd as per the freedesktop boot loader specs. See kernel-install(8) for details. Notice that 'profiles' are not used. This will eventually be hooked up so that calling "make install" from a kernel build will do the right thing.
