[Planetlab-devel] bootcd_v3 for wireless/mesh myplc

[Chan, Winson C]

Marc,

I've gotten a custom kernel into the bootcd.img.  On boot though, I'm
getting errors during pl_hwinit when it finds and loads any modules that
are ffff:ffff.  I went and comment out this section for now.  What is
this section of the script doing?

Also, the following is what I did to build the RPM for the custom
kernel.
1.	rpm -i -vv kernel-2.6.9-1.667.src.rpm
2.	cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS
3.	rpmbuild -bp -vv --target=i686 kernel-2.6.spec
4.	cd /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/kernel-2.6.9/linux-2.6.9
5.	make mrproper 
6.	make oldconfig 
7.	make menuconfig 
8.	cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS
9.	rpmbuild -ba -vv --target=i686 kernel-2.6.spec

After the hwinit, I got the mesh networking functional.  It resolved the
boot server from host name after adding some scripts to modify the
resolv.conf file (temporary for now).  But then when it tries to fetch
script from primary server, I get the following errors.  Any pointers?

pl_boot: attempting to fetch script from primary server in 30s
pl_boot: generating new nonce
pl_boot: fetching script from boot server
pl_boot: curl request failed with error 26
curl: (26) failed creating formpost data

Thanks again.
