I just came across something curious: I'm currently building a custom kernel for an Nvidia BlueField2 and when I try to boot it with the systemd initrd, it fails to load the overlay module, giving me this error: overlay: module has no symbols (stripped?). When I use the legacy initrd, it is able to load the module. Could this happen because of the way makeInitrdNG works? we have the same issue on rpi4 | 12:26:30 |
| @janne.hess:helsinki-systems.de | solution is to disable stripping | 12:26:35 |
 @nikstur:matrix.org | Is there an issue for that already? | 12:26:45 |
| @nikstur:matrix.org | I guess its an AARCH64 thing then | 12:26:53 |
| @janne.hess:helsinki-systems.de | boot.initrd.systemd.strip | 12:26:55 |
| @janne.hess:helsinki-systems.de | I don't think so, we thought it was a random oddity with our kernel | 12:27:05 |
 @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | huh, how am I only just now realizing I never enabled systemd initrd on my two rpi cm4s.... | 12:27:58 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | Maybe I tried it, experienced this, disabled it, and forgot about it :P | 12:28:13 |

I don't think so, we thought it was a random oddity with our kernel Mhmm, might be worth looking into... another time | 12:28:56 |

Mhmm, might be worth looking into... another time Once iscsi support is there i can also try it on our mac | 12:29:23 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | is iscsi going to be particularly difficult? I don't know what all is involved in that one | 12:30:09 |
| @janne.hess:helsinki-systems.de | I don't think so, the main blocker was networking support | 12:30:57 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | ah, cool | 12:31:15 |
| @janne.hess:helsinki-systems.de | It's pretty much this: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/nixos/modules/services/networking/iscsi/root-initiator.nix | 12:31:15 |

solution is to disable stripping Thanks! It worked | 12:56:52 |
 oddlama | Is there any kind of conflict between systemd-networkd in initrd and on the main system? | 18:14:45 |
| oddlama |
My systemd-networkd isn't starting in stage2 seemingly because it was deactivated in stage1 (or I'm misinterpreting) | 18:14:54 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | I would not expect that to be the case | 18:15:21 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | Well, with systemd initrd, we changed the default of flushBeforeStage2 to false | 18:15:50 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | so if the network config is different between stage 1 and 2, that might be a problem | 18:16:05 |
| oddlama | Yeah it is | 18:16:12 |
| oddlama | In initrd I only have absolute minimum required connectivity | 18:16:24 |
| oddlama | In the real system I have a lot of macvtaps and wireguard interfaces | 18:16:37 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | yea but those are additional things, not differing things, right? | 18:16:58 |
| oddlama | Yes additional. | 18:17:05 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | So I would have expected that to be fine | 18:17:05 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | If that expectation is wrong, we should test for it and probably change the default for flushBeforeStage2 back to true | 18:17:47 |
| oddlama | The only related logs I'm getting are these:
Jun 05 19:38:12 sentinel systemd[1]: systemd-networkd.service: Deactivated successfully.

| 18:17:56 |
| oddlama | and systemd-network was indeed not active, so I started it manually and everything was up again | 18:18:22 |
