Top Forums UNIX for Beginners Questions & Answers Why bind to LiveCD /proc before building initramfs ? Post 303001609 by hicksd8 on Tuesday 8th of August 2017 03:43:46 AM

I think that I understand your question. The 'Live CD' contains all commonly required drivers but those drivers are only loaded if the hardware is actually present. The 'Live CD' is designed so that it can boot on almost all hardware without extra drivers.

change initramfs by hand?

What's the correct way to change the initramfs file that's used during boot? I know that it's a gzipped cpio archive, but when I gunzip, extract, re-archive (without changing any files), and gzip, then the result is that the system does not boot any more. And I even set the cpio archive type. ... (18 Replies)

initramfs on 2.4 kernel

Is there a patch available to support initramfs on the 2.4 kernel? We can't upgrade to 2.6 for legacy purposes. All I found on google were early references to how initramfs is better than the 2.4 initrd. Thanks much! (0 Replies)

NAME
ipsec__stackmanager - internal script to bring up kernel components for Libreswan SYNOPSIS
ipsec _stackmanager start ipsec _stackmanager stop DESCRIPTION
ipsec _stackmanager is called from within the init sub-system (systemd, upstart, sysv initscripts) to bring up the Libreswan kernel component as configured via the protostack= option in the ipsec.confi configuration file. This involves loading and optionally unloading of the required kernel modules. Because the Linux kernel cannot autodetect most crypto related drivers on-demand, _stackmanager handles loading the hardware random number (RNG) device drivers, OpenBSD/FreeBSD Cryptographic Framework (OCF) drivers, CryptoAPI drivers, and the modules for the specific stack (Linux NETKEY/XFM or KLIPS/MAST). Probing for OCF supported hardware is not supported - those modules must be loaded by the system before the start of the Libreswan sub system. SEE ALSO
ip(8), ipsec_tncfg(8), ipsec.conf(5), ipsec_addconn(8), pluto(8) HISTORY
This script was introduced in Libreswan. On the older Openswan systems, this functionality was split over various script files such as ipsec _startnetkey, ipsec _startklips, ipsec _realsetup and ipsec setup.
