**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sat Nov 05 02:59:57 2011 Nov 05 09:38:15 Hi, I am trying to get grub4dos running from kexec. On most computers it does work however there are some that do not work. Nov 05 09:39:07 The symptoms are: stopping at loading Grub. Nov 05 09:39:36 and/or: the graphics are not reset. Nov 05 09:40:40 To tackle the issue I tried to use Nov 05 09:41:21 the --reset-vga option but that did not do anything visible. Nov 05 09:44:22 the graphics problem looks like all the text is there but far too small (like 3px font) and it is duplicated so I actually have the output twice once on the left and once on the right. Nov 05 09:45:24 If I dont change the resolution in the previously loaded linux everything seems to work. Nov 05 09:50:20 The hardware in this case is a Gigabyte M912: with Atom N270, 1GB RAM Nov 05 09:51:05 also I noticed that all usb capabilities are lost after kexec. Nov 05 09:52:25 I would be glad if you could point me at some information on how to resolve at least some of these issues. Nov 05 10:31:18 ouch I realize that you develop actually a bootloader on top of kexec :)... maybe you can help me anyhow :) Nov 05 14:16:10 enaut: hi Nov 05 14:16:31 this channel is about kexecboot project, not about kexec-tools Nov 05 14:16:37 hello Jay7 Nov 05 14:16:54 enaut: better to ask in appropriate mailing list Nov 05 14:16:57 ant___: hi Nov 05 14:17:50 Jay7: klibc git is still down after kernel.org outage. Our ubifs must wait... ;) Nov 05 14:18:43 ant___: and I'm is still busy with current projects.. Nov 05 14:19:01 well, somehow good to hear ;) Nov 05 14:19:52 we are doing migration of IT infrastructure of retail company to virtual machines + iSCSI-storages Nov 05 14:20:04 biggest of my projects now :) Nov 05 14:20:19 great Nov 05 14:21:43 I'm putting together some minor fixes, I'll send you soon the patches Nov 05 14:23:52 nice Nov 05 14:24:37 btw, http://dev.openaos.org/wiki/Gen8Linux2.6.37 Nov 05 14:24:41 bug? Nov 05 14:24:56 Note2: kexecboot has a bug, if right after boot you press 'Power' twice, it hangs. Nov 05 14:27:53 hm.. Nov 05 14:28:14 looks like kernel problem, not kexecboot one Nov 05 14:28:32 may be machine is trying to suspend but kexecboot kernel have no some CONFIG* Nov 05 14:28:48 or something like Nov 05 14:29:10 or strange values on keypress Nov 05 14:29:13 I don't know in which place of kexecboot code this may happens Nov 05 14:29:23 btw, who is author of that page and port? Nov 05 14:29:29 like poodle w/out kernel keymap patch Nov 05 14:30:21 and what is gen8? :) Nov 05 14:31:08 seems some archos device Nov 05 14:32:35 http://www.openaos.org/wp-upload/gen8/2011-08-31/dev/kexecboot.patch Nov 05 14:34:16 sure, each device has own keys :/ Nov 05 14:34:42 we should consider making this easier.. Nov 05 14:34:49 may be 'keyboard themes' :) Nov 05 14:35:28 or just list more keys Nov 05 14:35:42 it may start to interfere between devices.. Nov 05 14:35:50 well, yes Nov 05 14:36:10 but volume up/down may be good candidate anyway Nov 05 14:36:21 yes, it is Nov 05 14:58:18 rebooting, bbl **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sun Nov 06 02:59:57 2011
