Error with gen_initramfs_list.sh when creating initramfs_data.cpio.gz

[tvnaidu]

I am getting these Two lines 112 and 113 errors when running this shell script, any idea what is wrong with this script, also I have HTML link for full script, I pointed to 2.6.x code:

GEN usr/initramfs_data. cpio.gz

Linux-2.6.20.21/scripts/gen_initramfs_l ist.sh line:112 [: ../temp/rootfs/lib/libblk.so.1.1 integer expression expected
Linux-2.6.20.21/scripts/gen_initramfs_l ist.sh line:113 [: ../temp/rootfs/lib/libblk.so.1.1 integer expression expected

gen_initramfs_l ist.sh lines 112 and 113

are you specifying -u and -g options while running your script?

This gets run automatically through Makefile, I have issuing only "make", then it gets called this script.

do you want me to change Makefile?.

[ashitpro]

problem is script is expecting $uuid and $guid as numeric values, but some how it is not getting initialized to proper values...

First, edit that script and print those variables and see if they are actually numbers. If not check make file. see how it is getting called from makefile.

I added print $uid and $gid in script, I get zero for both. any other clues?. appreciated.

[ashitpro]

Change these statements...

[ "$root_uid" = "squash" ] && uid=0 || [ "$uid" -eq "$root_uid" ] && uid=0

[ "$root_gid" = "squash" ] && gid=0 || [ "$gid" -eq "$root_gid" ] && gid=0

to

[ "$root_uid" = "0" ] && uid=0 || [ "0" -eq "0" ] && uid=0

[ "$root_gid" = "0" ] && gid=0 || [ "0" -eq "0" ] && gid=0

basically, expression [ "$uid" -eq "$root_uid" ] expects numbers..
And make sure that you are running this script as root user.

Thanks a lot. I found the issue, issue is with Makefile where I copy all shared libs, one extra file gets created, that is why this error came.

appreciated for quick help
