Installing Slackware
Jump to navigation

This guide will show you how to get Slackware running on a BitFolk VPS.
 Warning: | This guide is currently a work in progress. You should not expect it to work or be correct. Please see the discussion page for some areas where it might be improved. |
Assumptions
This guide will assume that your BitFolk account name is slacktest1. You'll need to replace any instance of slacktest1 with your own account name.
You will not notice any performance benefits running 64-bit Slackware so we will be installing Slackware-13.37 32-bit with LVM. This guide is based on a VPS with 480MiB of RAM and 10GiB disk; your settings may vary.
The example VPS has an IPv4 address of 85.119.84.12. You'll need to replace any instance of this with your own IPv4 address.
Disk configuration
The default disk setup for a BitFolk VPS is to have an xvda disk using all available disk capacity, and an xvdb disk the same size as the memory, intended for use as swap. We'll go with that setup in this guide. If you want a different disk setup you should take care to use the disks command of the Xen Shell before you boot the rescue environment.
Set up partitions
Since there is currently no support within BitFolk's installer for installing Slackware directly, you will need to perform an install via the rescue environment.
ssh into your Xen Shell
$ ssh slacktest1@slacktest1.console.bitfolk.comLaunch rescue environment
xen-shell v1.48bitfolk20 - type 'help' for help.
xen-shell> rescue
Booting rescue instance: slacktest1
Using config file "/etc/xen/slacktest1.conf".

BitFolk Rescue Environment - https://tools.bitfolk.com/wiki/Rescue
This virtual machine is running read-only over NFS with a unionfs ramdisk to
allow changes. This means:
- anything you write to its filesystem will not survive a reboot
- you only have about half your RAM size as writable space
If you need to write more, or you need it to persist past a reboot, you'll need
to use your VPS's storage. Please see:
https://tools.bitfolk.com/wiki/Rescue#Persistence
for more information.
Your user account is called 'user' and its password has been randomly-generated
(see above). Be careful what you do with it as networking is now active and
sshd is running. The 'user' account has full sudo access.
rescue login:At this point you're at the login prompt of the rescue environment, a Debian-based operating system which runs from RAM and gives you access to your VPS's block devices.
You now need to log in with the randomly-generated credentials provided.
Install necessary software
Since we're going to be using LVM in the VPS, we'll need to install the LVM tools in the rescue environment in order to manage things.

In order to correctly boot a BitFolk VPS, the first partition on the first block device must contain a GRUB menu.lst file. Normally a BitFolk VPS has a single partition across the whole disk, with the root filesystem on it. If intending to do anything more complicated (like LVM) then it is easiest to explicitly create a first partition to use as /boot/. 512MiB should be plenty; it is best to be generous here as it will be difficult to resize this partition later.

BitFolk currently only supports booting from ext2 and ext3 filesystems. We'll go with ext3 and use a filesystem label of boot. We'll also disable time-based fsck as this can severely delay boot up of your VPS when the host node is rebooted.

Finally we can get to the part where we download Slackware and install its packages.
Slackware's installpkg expects to find du at /bin/du directly, whereas the (Debian-based) rescue environment has it at /usr/bin/du, so it removes some unnecessary warnings if we symlink this into place first.

You'll now chroot into your Slackware install to finish off the rest of the process.

bash-4.1#
Remove Packages what are not Required
There are a few packages what require X and are not required. This makes the boot process clean.
bash-4.1# removepkg gtk+-1.2.10-i486-5.txz
bash-4.1# removepkg gtk+2-2.24.10-i486-2.txz
bash-4.1# removepkg gtk+3-3.4.4-i486-1.txz
bash-4.1# removepkg pango-1.30.1-i486-1.txz
bash-4.1# removepkg gdk-pixbuf2-2.26.1-i486-2.txzConfigure console
Xen's default console runs on hvc0. You need to make sure that a getty is started on hvc0 otherwise you'll see no login prompt.
You'll also want to add hvc0 to the list of secure terminals, otherwise a root login won't be accepted from your console.
Edit /etc/inittab and comment out the following lines:
c1:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty1 linux
c2:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty2 linux
c3:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty3 linux

c5:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty5 linux
c6:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty6 linuxNow add a co: beneath them:
co:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 hvc0 linuxSo this section should end up looking like:
#c1:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty1 linux
#c2:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty2 linux
#c3:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty3 linux
#c4:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty4 linux
#c5:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty5 linux
#c6:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty6 linux
co:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 hvc0 linuxAppend hvc0 to /etc/securetty:
bash-4.1# echo "hvc0" >> /etc/securettysysctl.conf
Add the following to /etc/sysctl.conf
bash-4.1# vim /etc/sysctl.conf
vm.swappiness = 60
vm.lower_zone_protection = 100
vm.vfs_cache_pressure = 200
vm.min_free_kbytes = 65536
vm.zone_reclaim_mode = 0Compile a custom kernel
You'll need to build a custom kernel that boots under Xen.
bash-4.1# cd /usr/src/linux
bash-4.1# make menuconfigMake sure these Kernel options are selected:
CONFIG_HIGHMEM64G Processor type and features → High Memory Support (64GB) Needed to enable PAE kernel, which is the only form of 32-bit kernel supported by Xen
CONFIG_XEN Processor type and features → Paravirtualized guest support (NEW) → Xen guest support
CONFIG_KERNEL_GZIP General setup → Kernel compression mode (Gzip) Xen can only boot gzipped kernels, not LZMA.
bash-4.1# make all -j2
bash-4.1# make modules_install -j2
bash-4.1# cp -va arch/x86/boot/bzImage /boot/
bash-4.1# cp -va .config /boot/config
bash-4.1# cp -va System.map /boot/GRUB
Now it's time to configure the bootloader. You don't need to actually install GRUB, as GRUB is never actually executed. Its configuration file is simply parsed by BitFolk's pygrub.
bash-4.1# mkdir -vp /boot/grub
mkdir: created directory `/boot/grub'
bash-4.1# cd /boot/grub
bash-4.1# cat > menu.lst

Initial ramdisk
Build an initial ramdisk suitable for your setup. vgscan and vgchange are first used to ensure that the LVM environment is correctly set up.
bash-4.1# vgscan --mknodes
Reading all physical volumes. This may take a while...

Be sure to run lilo again if you use it./etc/fstab
The below /etc/fstab is correct for this particular layout and choice of filesystems. If you made other choices you'll need to make alterations.
In most cases relatime reduces access time writes to almost nothing while still allowing access times to be recorded, so is a decent choice unless you know you don't care about access time.
Barriers are disabled because they aren't guaranteed to work anyway down through the many layers virtualised IO will go through.
