Jan 16 08:47:38 <ant_work> hi nareshbhat
Jan 16 08:52:33 <nareshbhat> ant_work: Hi
Jan 16 08:54:45 <nareshbhat> If I try to use to ramdisk image I am getting the following error
Jan 16 08:55:17 <nareshbhat> kexec -l zImage --initrd=ramdisk.img --command-line="root=/dev/ram rw ip=dhcp console=ttyAMA0,38400n8 init=/bin/bash" or
Jan 16 08:55:17 <nareshbhat> kexec -l zImage --ramdisk=ramdisk.img --command-line="root=/dev/ram rw ip=dhcp console=ttyAMA0,38400n8 init=/bin/bash"
Jan 16 08:55:35 <nareshbhat> The error is "Base address: 809de380 is not page aligned"
Jan 16 08:55:40 <nareshbhat> any idea ?
Jan 16 09:10:59 <ant_work> actually I'm not using initrd/ramdisk
Jan 16 09:11:14 <ant_work> I remember ther have been some patches related, though
Jan 16 09:11:59 <ant_work> i.e. [PATCH - kexec] arm: place initrd to safer place according to zImage length
Jan 16 09:12:20 <ant_work> but long ago, in 2010, when we were testing uImages
Jan 16 09:15:36 <ant_work> can you test using --initrd instead of ramdisk?
Jan 16 09:16:36 <ant_work> oh, sorry, I see
Jan 16 09:17:56 <ant_work> back in 2010 there have been other fixes, like  [PATCH v2 1/3] Ramdisk address was not copied correctly on kexec'ed kernel
Jan 16 09:18:08 <ant_work> sound like you're hitting a similar bug...
Jan 16 09:28:56 <ant_work> nareshbhat: out ouf curiosity, what happpens if you load a true initramfs ( i.e. a cpio.gz) ?
Jan 16 09:39:50 <nareshbhat> I will check
Jan 16 09:50:47 <nareshbhat> getting same
Jan 16 09:52:09 <nareshbhat> I will do send a e-mail to community
Jan 16 10:12:54 <ant_work> Jay7: automake 1.13 -> +-AM_CONFIG_HEADER(config.h)
Jan 16 10:12:54 <ant_work> ++AC_CONFIG_HEADERS(config.h)
Jan 16 10:13:02 <ant_work> I'll send a patch
Jan 16 10:13:34 <Jay7> ant_work: will it work with older automake?
Jan 16 10:13:56 <ant_work> I'm just thinking about that. There is a bunch of fixes for oe-core
Jan 16 10:14:17 <ant_work> so I assume it's tested :)
Jan 16 10:14:52 <ant_work> Add obsolete_automake_macros.patch that replaces automake macros no longer supported by automake-1.13 with modern constructs.
Jan 16 10:16:10 <ant_work> Jay7: about that new fork for HP Touchpad
Jan 16 10:16:38 <Jay7> I've seen your link
Jan 16 10:16:41 <ant_work> splitting the commit in it's different parts, I only see they remove root= rootfs=
Jan 16 10:16:51 <ant_work> they somehow add lvml2
Jan 16 10:17:29 <Jay7> I'm sure they don't know that it's possible to override it by root= in cmdline
Jan 16 10:17:44 <ant_work> lright, I concluded the same
Jan 16 10:17:48 <ant_work> :)
Jan 16 10:18:18 <Jay7> not sure about lvm2
Jan 16 10:18:24 <Jay7> may be it's not in kernel
Jan 16 10:18:35 <Jay7> we doing no modules scan this time
Jan 16 10:18:58 <Jay7> so.. --mem-max is only reasonable thing
Jan 16 10:19:04 <ant_work> yes, the extra tags
Jan 16 10:19:14 <ant_work> ah, I didn't understand
Jan 16 10:19:18 <ant_work> -            strcat(str_mtd_id, item->device+strlen(item->device)-1);
Jan 16 10:19:18 <ant_work>   	258 	
Jan 16 10:19:18 <ant_work> +            (str_mtd_id, item->device+strlen(item->device)-1);
Jan 16 10:19:22 <Jay7> ah, yes
Jan 16 10:19:38 <Jay7> this should break compiler imho
Jan 16 10:20:04 <Jay7> https://github.com/willcast/kexecboot/blob/e832a06be24b56373161c0051e63638b1e182b9d/kexecboot.c#L258
Jan 16 10:20:13 <Jay7> this is how it looks now
Jan 16 10:20:48 <ant_work> I was wondering about some strange assignment...
Jan 16 10:20:53 <ant_work> seems an error to me
Jan 16 10:57:37 <ant_work> Jay7: btw ka6sox crew is playing with nexus7 and kexecboot
Jan 16 11:03:47 <ant_work> bluelightning: I've built with buildhistory and PR Server, this evening I should see if really there are rebuild issues
Jan 16 11:54:32 <Jay7> ant_work: cool
Jan 16 12:42:15 <ant_work> Jay7: do we discussed about having extra kexec opts in /boot.cg ?
Jan 16 12:42:21 <ant_work> err..
Jan 16 12:42:29 <ant_work> did we discuss...
Jan 16 12:46:24 <Jay7> seems this is good idea
Jan 16 12:46:37 <Jay7> now I see real use case at least
Jan 16 13:03:08 <ant_work> Jay7: I plan to upload the binaries of kexecboot-klibc static for x86/32,armv4 and maybe armv5te. Maybe it's better to upload the .cpio
Jan 16 13:04:39 <ant_work> ..but there is old kexec there
Jan 16 15:11:55 <ant_work> bluelightning: btw, BBFILE_PRIORITY_meta-initramfs = "8" and BBFILE_PRIORITY_meta-handheld = "7"
Jan 16 15:12:11 <ant_work> hm.. BBFILE_PRIORITY_core = "5"
Jan 16 15:12:46 <bluelightning> ant_work: does it matter though?
Jan 16 15:12:58 <ant_work> not much but it's not logical :)
Jan 16 15:14:58 <ant_work> as long as we require meta-initramfs we should be able to 'override' it
Jan 16 15:15:15 <ant_work> little point, though
