**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Wed May 30 03:00:02 2018 **** BEGIN LOGGING AT Wed May 30 07:24:24 2018 May 30 08:32:07 hi ant_work May 30 08:32:19 hello May 30 08:32:22 the 4.14 kexecboot kernel seems to boot on Akita, but there are some issues May 30 08:32:31 VartiWork reported some issue May 30 08:33:03 if a SD card is inserted (exept for a 1GB vfat one) kexecboot does not boot up to the menu , not even to the logo May 30 08:33:21 without a card it boots and a rescan finds it then and kexec fine May 30 08:33:33 also JIFFS parsing is dead slow May 30 08:33:52 sounds like mmc bug May 30 08:34:12 whats the difference with MMC on Akita and Spitz ? May 30 08:34:15 maybe a timeout ? May 30 08:34:31 I mean the kernel mmc subsytem or the pxa dma changes May 30 08:34:42 iirc there are fixes in 4.17 May 30 08:34:47 well this kexecboot kernel does not show these issues on Borzoi May 30 08:34:53 only on Akita May 30 08:35:08 ouch, then must be that gpio expander May 30 08:35:40 I doubt 4.17 will fit in NAND with current defconfig May 30 08:35:40 I should have a 4.14 already installed on corgi May 30 08:36:11 btw, are you on latest 4.14.x ? May 30 08:36:31 no, just 4.14.18 that I had a buildtree for.. May 30 08:36:54 ok, I hope there are only fixes in the following revs May 30 08:38:18 now, I am updating kexec itself, I fear I am adding a new variable... May 30 08:38:29 better to keep the old one for these tests May 30 08:38:34 yes May 30 08:38:57 did Varti take some logs? May 30 08:38:58 I may have used the wrong defconfig, but afiak spitz and akita defconfig was the same May 30 08:39:06 yes May 30 08:39:13 yes, he did some screenshots, not sure about serial cable May 30 08:39:46 about size, I don't think there is much bloat, I did build linux-kexecboot 4.16 and it did fit May 30 08:40:00 I mean, survived to size-check :) May 30 08:40:20 yes, 4.14 was fine, just a bit close to the max.. May 30 08:40:27 but again, 4.16 is not promosing, better to jump on 4.17 May 30 08:40:52 you had a pile of issues, isn't? May 30 08:41:01 I think about dumping JFFS May 30 08:41:14 I stay with 4.14 at this stage. May 30 08:41:28 4.16 was dodgy and not the stuff fixed we hoped for May 30 08:41:30 are you compressing bot cpio and kernel with xz? May 30 08:41:33 yes May 30 08:41:33 *both May 30 08:41:46 and I strip kexecboot ;) May 30 08:42:17 let me move on laptop May 30 08:46:37 greguu, is building right now, I switched to glibc so it will take some mins May 30 08:47:10 (I had build-issues using glibc, not musl...go figure!) May 30 08:48:28 VartiWork, I was obliged to hack/root the ugly Tim Hub May 30 08:49:09 I have now 3 TIM routers at home, still I have to pay for this last one...madness May 30 08:49:33 so I cracked it and now is almost pure OpenWrt May 30 08:50:12 let me know if you'l need this, I had to put on OpenDns filters, you know, a young 10yrs guy May 30 08:50:28 at home is dangerous online May 30 09:00:30 I think the gpio issue is still present in 4.17-rc7, no noticable changes since Nov 2017 on gpio-pxa.c May 30 09:00:49 sorry, busy now... May 30 09:01:10 [10:33] without a card it boots and a rescan finds it then and kexec fine May 30 09:01:27 actually, it doesn't boot even if no card is present May 30 09:02:24 I'll do other tests with the cable, is debug active by default? May 30 09:03:55 heh, I'll also need to put filters for when my kids will be older May 30 09:08:12 greguu: do you mind if we move the discussion via PM to a public thread? It will help me in searching these results in the future, just in case, doing searches in PM isn't that easy May 30 09:09:13 most actual users will not care anyway May 30 09:11:24 well the kernel has been not released to the public yet, lets test a bit more. May 30 09:14:23 ok May 30 09:17:21 greguu, │-rw-r--r-- 2 andrea andrea 1260200 mag 30 11:10 zImage-kexecboot-4.16-spitz.bin May 30 09:18:02 KERNEL_IMAGE_MAXSIZE_spitz = "1264" May 30 09:19:10 34136 bytes headroom :/ May 30 09:21:13 greguu, afair ext4 can read ext2 so maybe some savings from there May 30 09:21:25 must check Kconfig May 30 09:31:28 yes I did disable ext2 and ext3 and let ext4 deal with it May 30 09:32:05 well, getting close.. 4.17 maybe even less May 30 09:32:27 I think you can disable iwmmxt and other stuff too May 30 09:35:32 Marzanna on the forum is now having some problems with kexecboot, I guess he's trying to install alarmz May 30 09:55:47 yes, that kernel does not allow ext4 parsing. its fixed in the new one May 30 10:00:32 the soltion for this was already posted in the rootfs thread :/ May 30 10:00:40 solution -> workaround May 30 10:04:26 well, he's new, so we can probably forgive him :P May 30 10:04:44 hm, he had the serial cable and posted debug.. May 30 10:04:58 so I thought... well.. he knows is way around a forum May 30 10:05:28 that's true May 30 10:06:10 btw yesterday for the first time we had more than one page of new daily posts \o/ May 30 10:06:44 getting there... zaurus is pretty quite this year... May 30 10:08:58 yep... I have a Z related link I wanted to share, but didn't find to post it May 30 10:09:43 https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2018/03/a-history-of-the-amiga-part-12-red-vs-blue/ May 30 10:10:13 I don't know if anyone on OESF has ever seen that OS running May 30 10:10:31 know = think May 30 10:13:48 interesting May 30 10:23:24 that OS was demoed at a fair in 2001, so the Zaurus in the photos might well be a 5000D, the Collie was released a year later May 30 10:24:38 it would be nice to find an installer of that version of AmigaDE May 30 10:37:09 good luck, I doubt it was ever made public May 30 10:45:34 https://web.archive.org/web/20020205154539/http://sl.yunimo.com:80/SL/SL-5000D/ May 30 10:45:48 unfortunately the download link doesn't work May 30 10:50:32 9.5Mb May 30 10:55:20 yep, that's tiny for a full OS May 30 10:58:39 https://web.archive.org/web/20020220195734/http://sl.yunimo.com:80/SL/SL-5000D/INSTALL.TXT May 30 12:11:47 VartiWork, what about the wiki ? May 30 12:18:30 had problems installing the skin I wanted to use, now trying with another one which was suggested to me on #gemini-pda May 30 12:18:39 I need to hurry up, I know :/ May 30 12:19:09 at least the skin is now the last remaining thing to do, after that I can open the Wiki May 30 12:36:37 greguu, VartiWork: let me know which files are not ok so I remove them May 30 12:36:38 https://github.com/LinuxPDA/linux-kexecboot/tree/master/zaurus May 30 12:36:49 I mean on akita and possibly on tosa May 30 12:37:14 I'd replace with 4.14.46 May 30 12:38:14 afair we had big hopes for 3.10 but finally f2fs and ext4 changes broke it... May 30 12:38:25 well get rid of the 3.2 and 3.4, replace 4.4.8 with 4.14.46 May 30 12:38:37 3.2 is the snappiest May 30 12:38:44 no f2fs May 30 12:39:06 4.4.8 doesn't work on Akita, screen initialization problem May 30 12:39:15 as you said before, in y2000 it was ext2/jffs2 now things have changed May 30 12:39:24 but AFAIK only Akita is affected May 30 12:40:10 note that all these kernels do boot on c860/spitz May 30 12:40:18 pls check tosa once May 30 12:40:37 ok, it's on my to-do list since long time :/ May 30 12:40:58 I mst keep 4.4 for collie/poodle May 30 12:42:19 I'd only remove the problematic releases, and keep all the working ones for historical reasons, if you agree May 30 12:42:46 I plan to upload the OE specific sources May 30 12:43:19 one needs older distro like ubuntu 12.4 for that 3.x kernels etc **** ENDING LOGGING AT Thu May 31 03:00:07 2018
