**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Mon Apr 03 03:00:02 2017 Apr 03 09:14:47 greguu, the driver for mtdpart is done Apr 03 09:14:52 https://pastebin.com/ZRNNpnxs Apr 03 09:47:41 nice job ant Apr 03 09:49:34 last weekend I have tried to boot alarmz from a 64GB SDXC and a 16GB SDHC card with kexec 4.4.8, they have both failed, I have not tried yet with a 2GB SD card Apr 03 09:49:55 does kexec support SDHC/SDXC? Apr 03 09:53:07 btw just discovered that mame has some preliminary Zaurus support, it probably only recognise the various ROMs and nothing else: http://www.progettoemma.net/gioco.php?&game=zslc760&lang=en Apr 03 09:53:14 https://git.redump.net/mame/tree/src/mame/drivers/zaurus.cpp Apr 03 09:55:02 VartiWork, hi Apr 03 09:56:01 VartiWork, I have seen that the 7MB partition can contain bad sectors and even in the sources I've found out in some cases the blocks are marked JFFS" Apr 03 09:56:14 JFFS2 Apr 03 09:56:45 it would be interesting to see the logs spitted out by akita Apr 03 09:56:52 I'll send you a kernel to test Apr 03 09:57:13 pls log dmesg on the card Apr 03 09:57:28 I have done a full badblocks scan on my Akita, no bad sector has been found Apr 03 09:57:52 oh, interesting. iirc both 860 I have had had 2 blocks Apr 03 09:58:12 I'll post a photo of the log on oesd soon Apr 03 09:58:27 ah, including the one you gave me then? Apr 03 09:58:42 it's just to see how the logical->physical table is built on akita Apr 03 09:58:46 yes Apr 03 09:59:10 should be like on 3100/3200 but I'd prefer to verify it :) Apr 03 10:00:01 btw I have a report of failing linux-kexecboot 4.4 on akita :/ Apr 03 10:00:15 " Apr 03 10:00:16 ok, i'll do the scan too on the 860, but knowing this it would be better to not spend any time on any problem found there Apr 03 10:00:17 I flashed the 4.4-based kexecboot on akita and nothing appears on the display after reboot/power on. The only thing I noticed that does happen is that the amber power LED does flash after several seconds of the "booting" has started. The screen is completely dark the entire time (no backlight or anything IIRC). Apr 03 10:00:18 " Apr 03 10:00:44 ah interesting... was this on a public forum? Apr 03 10:01:02 no , an email Apr 03 10:01:22 (ok enough "oh interesting", "ah", "ah interesting" for today :P ) Apr 03 10:01:44 from LinuxPDA/linux-kexecboot Apr 03 10:01:46 github Apr 03 10:02:16 ok Apr 03 10:02:49 please send him the link to this thread, where I'm testing kexec: http://www.oesf.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=34502 Apr 03 10:04:03 I have the same symptoms, except for the flash after several seconds, in my case the led flashes once as soon as the boot begins Apr 03 10:04:41 that is, unless I do the v2.6 - v4.4.8 flashing procedure Apr 03 10:07:00 btw should 4.4.8 support SDHC/XC? Apr 03 10:07:57 sdhc is compiled Apr 03 10:08:10 I am really puzzled with akita Apr 03 10:08:33 these 4.4 kernels are not 100% Apr 03 10:09:09 probably it makes sense to rebuild a round of 3.x for all but collie Apr 03 10:09:52 the fact that led blinks after flashing means kernel is booting Apr 03 10:10:22 you'd need a serial cable to see exactly what's going on Apr 03 10:10:44 yes Apr 03 10:10:59 anyway, I will remove the mtdpart reading code for zaurus from kexecboot Apr 03 10:11:04 from time to time I check auction.jp for a cable Apr 03 10:11:33 is the log from the kexecboot menu useful too? Apr 03 10:11:52 yes but if you don't get the menu... Apr 03 10:11:59 I can Apr 03 10:12:20 then it should give you an idea Apr 03 10:12:36 just once everytime, and only flashing v2.6, then v4.4.8, but I can Apr 03 10:12:40 it's the same output Apr 03 10:12:50 ok, will let you know Apr 03 10:12:56 ok, thanks Apr 03 10:13:35 aha, so SDHC cards should be recognised, SDXC not Apr 03 10:14:20 then the problem should be with the SD card files structure Apr 03 10:16:17 I won't waste time with my SDXC card then Apr 03 10:54:30 I am not sure linux does distinguish between SDHC and SDXC Apr 03 10:56:21 I see Apr 03 10:58:12 "If I"m not mistaken, the current SDXC Cards (or at least some of them) are just "SDXC in name only", and actually comply with Version 3.0 of the SD standard – the same as SDHC. The only caveat is that they come formatted as exFAT, which can only be used on Microsoft Windows" Apr 03 10:58:39 this was 5 years ago, in the meantime Linux has gained exFat support **** BEGIN LOGGING AT Mon Apr 03 18:41:26 2017 **** ENDING LOGGING AT Tue Apr 04 03:00:01 2017
