Title: Missing File?
Post by: ctor on April 23, 2025, 11:36:08 AM

When trying to download graphics-6.12.11-tinycore.tcz, I get:

Code: [Select]

md5sum: i2c-6.12.11-tinycore64.tcz.md5.txt: No such file or directory
Version: Tiny Core 16.0 x86_64

graphics-6.12.11-tinycore is the 32bit extension, graphics-6.12.11-tinycore64 is the 64bit version.

What happens when you try “tce-load-w graphics-KERNEL”

When trying to download graphics-6.12.11-tinycore.tcz, ...

You meant  graphics-6.12.11-tinycore64.tcz

Both  graphics-6.12.11-tinycore64.tcz.md5.txt  and  i2c-6.12.11-tinycore64.tcz.md5.txt
are in the repo and both are correct.

Do this:

Code: [Select]

rm -f /etc/sysconfig/tcedir/optional/i2c-6.12.11-tinycore64.tcz*Then try downloading  graphics-6.12.11-tinycore64.tcz  again,

No. I meant graphics-6.12.11-tinycore.tcz. I apologize for not communicating enough information. As I understand things, I can run a 64 bit kernel with 32 bit user space applications. In other words, a hybrid -- not all 32 bit kernel/user space and not all 64 bit kernel/user space (i.e. Tiny Core pure).

In grub.cfg, I am using the following files from http://tinycorelinux.net/16.x/x86/release/distribution_files/:

Code: [Select]

linux /boot/vmlinux64 ...
initrd /boot/modules64.gz /boot/rootfs.gz

tce-load -w graphics-KERNEL yields:

Code: [Select]

md5sum: graphics-6.12.11-tinycore64.tcz.tcz.md5.txt: No such file or directory

In the original post, I was using tce-ab and got the i2c-6.12.11-tinycore64.tcz.md5.txt error message.

At this juncture, I think I am going to need to go all 32 bit or all 64 bit.

Thank you both for your replies and wisdom. I really appreciate what you both do.

regards,
ctor

Switching to Tiny Core 16.0 Pure (x86_64) solved my issue. Thank you again Juanito and Rich.

Hi ctor
I have run Core64 and it does work. The only thing that is 32 bit is
rootfs.gz and any apps you install. All kernel modules are 64 bit.
That means  graphics-6.12.11-tinycore64.tcz  and  i2c-6.12.11-tinycore64.tcz.

... tce-load -w graphics-KERNEL yields:

Code: [Select]

md5sum: graphics-6.12.11-tinycore64.tcz.tcz.md5.txt: No such file or directory ...

That error message has too many  .tcz  extensions listed.

Rich,

Looking at the files in http://distro.ibiblio.org/tinycorelinux/16.x/x86/tcz/, I find:

graphics-6.12.11-tinycore.tcz but no graphics-6.12.11-tinycore64.tcz.

Same for wireless-6.12.11-tinycore.tcz but no wireless-6.12.11-tinycore64.tcz.

When I look at files in http://distro.ibiblio.org/tinycorelinux/15.x/x86/tcz/, I find:

both graphics-6.12.11-tinycore.tcz and graphics-6.12.11-tinycore64.tcz,

and both wireless-6.12.11-tinycore.tcz and wireless-6.12.11-tinycore64.tcz.

This is causing the problem I am having with 64 bit kernel and 32 bit user space in version 16 of Tinycore.
Shouldn't the http://distro.ibiblio.org/tinycorelinux/16.x/x86/tcz/ directory contain both 32 bit
and 64 bit versions of these files? Both versions of graphics and wireless exist in the http://distro.ibiblio.org/tinycorelinux/15.x/x86/tcz/ directory. Both tce-ab and Apps exhibit the issue in 16 but not in 15. Please confirm.

regards,
ctor

Hi ctor
I just checked the TC16 x86 repo and the 64 bit module
extensions are indeed missing.

Missing kernel module extensions added

Rich and Juanito,

Thank you both for fixing the issue. TinyCore 16 64 bit kernel and 32 bit user space is working now.

I appreciate your knowledge, effort, and responsiveness.
