Porteus Kernel Builder

Sorry beny, but if you can't help at least don't ask meaningless questions!

AcnapyxoB, ok, how about to create a new encrypted dat file container (ext4 formatted) and test it?

Has already been tried. Same result.
I do not think it's from the file system. It is more likely to be from crypt decryp mechanism.

Post#1414 by **Blaze** » 08 Nov 2021, 18:52

Anybody knows what specific mechanism for encrypting and decrypting in kernel (or probably not in the kernel) is used...?

Post#1415 by **AcnapyxoB** » 08 Nov 2021, 19:03

There is some mystery with those dat files.
- I created a new encrypted container with 5.15.1. Tried (with 5.15.1) - boot goes as if a dat file is not specified.
- Same file (created with 5.15.1 kernel). Tried with old 5.12.14 kernel - same result (boot goes as if a file is not specified)
- Encrypted ext4 file created long time ago. Tried with kernel 5.12.14 - same result (boot goes as if a file is not specified)

If 000-kernel.xzm is created with "mkKernel", /opt/000-kernel/sbin/cryptsetup is copied from
/usr/local/share/mkKernel/lib/upkernel/base/usr/bin/cryptsetup. (/sbin symbolic links to /usr/bin)

cryptsetup:
$ file cryptsetup
ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), statically linked, stripped
$ md5sum cryptsetup
878a20162a711c73d311834379823ff2

Kernel modules needed by cryptsetup are
(dm_crypt cryptd cbc sha256_generic aes_generic aes_x86_64) ??

Thanks.

Hi neko.

I extracted the 004-buildiso module from a recent APorteus ISO and when I tried it in Porteus 5.0rc3 Cinnamon it failed to start the gui. I tried to open the module with the Archive Manager and even with 7-zip to see what the problem is but it won't open. How does one open the module?

hi blaze you have put in the wrong version of firmware

/lib/firmware/rtlwifi

you don't need this one? /lib/firmware/rtlwifi/rtl8188eufw.bin

@Blaze

APorteus-v21.11.15-x86_64.iso was built with
mkKernel-21.11.14-noarch-1.xzm and
kernel 5.15.2 with AUFS patch "5.15-20211115"
Please refer to ArchLinux packages manager for Porteus (Post by neko #36689)

There is the
APorteus-v21.11.15-x86_64.iso@/porteus/base/000-kernel.xzm@/lib/firmware/rtlwifi/rtl8188eufw.bin

But it is not set by "Create Firmware from ArchLinux Packages." function.
It ,maybe, is set by "ISO whose kernel will be updated" function from OLD ISO.

Code: Select all

$ grep rtl818 v5.15.2/64/repo_getFW-v5.15.2-64/*
v5.15.2/64/repo_getFW-v5.15.2-64/all:====kernel/drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtlwifi/rtl8188ee/rtl8188ee.ko.zst

v5.15.2/64/repo_getFW-v5.15.2-64/findS:rtlwifi/rtl8188efw.bin
$

What to do ?

Thanks.
