Tip of the day: don’t use --purge when cross-grading
A surprise to see my box booting up with the default GRUB 2.x menu, followed by “cannot find a working init”.
What happened?
Well, grub:i386 and grub:x32 are distinct packages, so APT helpfully decided to purge the GRUB config. OK. Manual boot menu entry editing later, re-adding “GRUB_DISABLE_SUBMENU=y” and “GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="syscall.x32=y"” to /etc/default/grub, removing “quiet” again from GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT, and uncommenting “GRUB_TERMINAL=console”… and don’t forget to “sudo update-grub”. There. This should work.
On the plus side, nvidia-driver:i386 seems to work… but not with boinc-client:x32 (why, again? I swear, its GPU detection has been driving me nuts on >¾ of all systems I installed it on, already!).
On the minus side, I now have to figure out why…
tglase@tglase:~ $ sudo ifup -v tap1 Configuring interface tap1=tap1 (inet) run-parts --exit-on-error --verbose /etc/network/if-pre-up.d run-parts: executing /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/bridge run-parts: executing /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/ethtool ip addr add 192.168.0.3/255.255.255.255 broadcast 192.168.0.3 peer 192.168.0.4 dev tap1 label tap1 Cannot find device "tap1" Failed to bring up tap1.
… this happens. This used to work before the cktN kernels.
