May 23 07:13:12 <greguu> ant_work: OE had the issue before https://patchwork.openembedded.org/patch/125405/
May 23 07:13:39 <greguu> I can confirm that mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdc1 -O^metadata_csum creates a bootable fs
May 23 07:13:53 <greguu> legacy grub can not deal with checksums too
May 23 07:14:54 <ant_work> ah
May 23 07:15:09 <greguu> I think grub had a patch to ignore this, but I can not find it. It may help
May 23 07:15:14 <ant_work> so I was using a patched recipe
May 23 07:15:46 <greguu> yes, the older e2fsprogs was patched
May 23 07:15:53 <greguu> in OE at least
May 23 07:19:35 <greguu> I tried the MS_VERBOSE but its obsolete and also misnamed, its actually for supressing kprint warnings ;/
May 23 07:19:42 <greguu> http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/mount.2.html
May 23 07:19:59 <greguu> so no luck there to get more info, but its the checksum feature for sure
May 23 07:20:50 <greguu> I think it would be sensible to advise user in the install guide disable it when creating a ext4 fs. Checksum creation possibly slows down things anyway on a Zaurus.
May 23 07:24:39 <ant_work> argh laptop
May 23 07:25:05 <ant_work> greguu, so you only see 'unknown option' or alike
May 23 07:25:25 <greguu> "invalid argument"+
May 23 07:25:31 <ant_work> right
May 23 07:25:44 <greguu> its the checksum feature
May 23 07:26:13 <ant_work> debug must be enabled in kernel then
May 23 07:29:06 <ant_work> https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/fs/ext4/ioctl.c?h=v4.17-rc6#n688
May 23 07:31:29 <greguu> this exist since 3.5 or so. I think the kernel is not at fault here
May 23 07:32:00 <ant_work> I am just scrubbing rapidly, don't see any debug hook tough
May 23 07:33:53 <ant_work> heh
May 23 07:33:54 <ant_work> config EXT4_DEBUG
May 23 07:45:25 <ant_work> https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/fs/ext2/e2fsprogs.git/commit/misc/mke2fs.conf.in?id=d0b9e0a6aa7d6805338a43b4e372623352d8df09
May 23 08:06:04 <ant_work> greguu, I see a Pentium II is slowed down
May 23 08:06:17 <ant_work> poor Z
May 23 08:06:18 <ant_work> https://ext4.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Ext4_Metadata_Checksums
May 23 08:10:52 <greguu> yes, thats why better not enable the feature. Move to F2FS instead or stay with ext3 for older devices
May 23 08:11:38 <greguu> f2fs has checksums too

May 23 09:32:23 <greguu> ant_work: you have the serial cable ? I think dmesg would show more details
May 23 09:36:35 <greguu> its clear the metadata checksum is causing the issue, however it should be fine if mounted readonly.
May 23 09:37:02 <greguu> kexecboot seems to attempt readonly mount. strange that it fails.
May 23 10:47:11 <ant_work> need to build a kernel with debug (and printk) otherwise kexecboot is silent
May 23 10:49:49 <ant_work> greguu, just to resume, every kexecboot kernel fails to detect/mount the new ext4 or only the old 3.x?
May 23 13:17:51 <VartiWork> Omegamoon: just read your comment on Indiegogo, congrats on your new Gemini
May 23 13:21:51 <Omegamoon> :-D
May 23 13:22:23 <Omegamoon> the Gemini looks really cool...
May 23 13:22:51 <Omegamoon> still have to get used to the way you have to interact with the (Android) apps though...
May 23 13:24:22 <VartiWork> there are some keyboard issues with some apps, especially with the PgUp and PgDown keys which are not recognised by most apps
May 23 13:24:43 <Omegamoon> actually I'm not so sure that Android is the best OS for this device
May 23 13:24:47 <VartiWork> btw you might find this useful: https://www.oesf.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=34768
May 23 13:25:27 <VartiWork> probably not, though ATM is the best choice until Linux will be polished enough
May 23 13:25:46 <Omegamoon> a lot of apps are a pain to use with the keyboard... I already am using the touch screen more than wanting to
May 23 13:28:11 <VartiWork> I can imagine... and using the touchscreen on a clamshell device isn't that confortable
May 23 13:31:53 <Omegamoon> I also miss a fingerprint sensor... don't want everyone to access the device, but I also don't want complex logins each time...
May 23 13:43:50 <Omegamoon> oh wow... kernel 3.18.41 ??
May 23 13:44:41 <VartiWork> yes :(
May 23 13:45:00 <VartiWork> I believe a newer one is planned
May 23 13:45:36 <Omegamoon> is there any coordinated place of development that you know of?
May 23 13:45:47 <Omegamoon> or is it scattered all over the Net currently?
May 23 13:49:05 <VartiWork> there's the third party Gemian project: https://github.com/gemian
May 23 13:49:31 <VartiWork> in particular: https://github.com/gemian/gemini-keyboard-apps
May 23 13:50:49 <VartiWork> the official sources from Planet are here: https://github.com/dguidipc
May 23 13:51:04 <Omegamoon> thanks, I'll have a look
May 23 13:51:17 <VartiWork> I'm not aware of any other repository
May 23 13:52:07 <VartiWork> the official development forum is here: https://developer.planetcom.co.uk/
May 23 13:52:43 <VartiWork> and there's oesf, of course
May 23 13:56:48 <Omegamoon> just logged in again on oesf...
May 23 13:56:53 <Omegamoon> "Welcome back; your last visit was: Oct 23 2012, 10:16 AM"
May 23 13:57:09 <Omegamoon> :-[
May 23 14:07:20 <VartiWork> it was about time you logged in back :P
May 23 14:07:51 <VartiWork> thanksfully, oesf is now in a better shape than in the past

May 23 20:54:46 <ant_home> greguu, ok, I have now finished with kexec/ubi vs. klibc
May 23 20:55:22 <ant_home> I will push 4.14 for pxa then concentrate on kexecboot
May 23 20:56:01 <ant_home> as for kernel, I'll wait for 4.17
