Hello:
Regarding Knoppix v 3.6-2004-08-16 Bug #4:
After searching for a while, I found a fix for the second part of this bug (obsolete bdflush system call) in the "Simply Linux" book, 3rd Edition, October, 2004 by jet_blackz@lycos.com. (recommended, real good reading.)4. After a knoppix-type HD install, we have the following boot message: "Running from HD, regenerate ld.so.cache and modules.dep... warning: process 'update' used the osbolete bdflush system call Fix your initscript?". (Fabio pt_BR)
Now I think I may have found a fix for the first part of this bug:Kernel 2.6.x starts the pdflush thread by itself. bdflush is the old one
used by 2.4.x kernels.
Comment out this line in checkroot.sh init script:
vi /etc/init.d/checkroot.sh
#[ -x /sbin/update ] && update <--- you add # at the start of this line.
In file /etc/init.d/knoppix-autoconfig (lines 489 --> 494) you can see the piece of script that runs ldconfig and depmod at each boot:
If I rem out all these lines (ie: add '#' to the beggining of each one) the script is not run, cutting down boot time considerably with no apparent ill effects.Code:if [ -n "$INSTALLED" ]; then echo -n "${BLUE}Running from HD, regenerate ld.so.cache and modules.dep...${NORMAL}" # Regenerate ld.so.cache and module dependencies on HD ldconfig ; depmod -a 2>/dev/null echo "" fi
As always, YMMV.
The question remains ...
Does anyone know if it is necessary to run this script at every boot in a HD installation?
Cheers,
CIV
