**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Tue Mar 27 02:59:58 2012 Mar 27 04:43:17 I installed u-boot (Pali's version), and i could only boot stock kernel, instead of KP49 i had before.. now device doesn't even boot at all - but gets stuck at 'Booting kernel..." state. any suggestions? Mar 27 04:44:53 besides using NIN101's RescueOS Mar 27 05:27:59 hello Mar 27 05:28:46 i installed backupmenu from devel, and now phone doesnt start now =\ Mar 27 05:30:37 ok, after i get out / insert battery it starts Mar 27 06:29:49 :) Mar 27 07:01:04 I wonder what you're doing Mar 27 07:04:19 me? Mar 27 07:05:26 yes, you too Mar 27 07:05:48 you're aware that uboot and kernel form a compound Mar 27 07:05:49 ? Mar 27 07:06:38 and you're aware that kernel and modules in rootfs have to match? Mar 27 07:07:38 yeah.. i installed quite carefully according to Pali's instructions Mar 27 07:07:44 mhm Mar 27 07:07:55 i guess i'm one of the unlucky ones with 2204 hw revisions Mar 27 07:08:56 so "i could only boot stock kernel, instead of KP49 i had before" actually means when you prepared a uboot+kernel compount with kp49, it fauled? Mar 27 07:09:12 and when you did same with stock kernel, it worked? Mar 27 07:09:44 Pali provides an image with all kernels (in /boot .. and the corresponding bootmenu entries) Mar 27 07:09:57 so i didn't have to do any configuring on my part Mar 27 07:10:14 errr Mar 27 07:10:28 but only stock booted at first. now i just get stuck at uboot screen Mar 27 07:11:20 still every kernel yu boot *needs* matching modules Mar 27 07:11:35 Sicelo, my second n900 is 2204, NP with u-boot Mar 27 07:11:39 the modules are still there Mar 27 07:13:06 Sicelo: the MATCHING modules, not a random selection of any modules Mar 27 07:13:27 kp49 needs modules built for kp49 Mar 27 07:13:35 i mean kp49 modules Mar 27 07:13:39 i have them Mar 27 07:14:17 i wonder if there's some way to 'override' uboot Mar 27 07:14:38 use flasher to flash only the kernel Mar 27 07:14:57 if you have one or two bad blocks too much in NAND, the space in kernel mtd partition might simply be too small Mar 27 07:17:06 this is not related to hw-rev Mar 27 07:17:30 DocScrutinizer, actually there were times it was IIRC Mar 27 07:17:50 o.O Mar 27 07:17:53 but yeah, not now Mar 27 07:18:15 I remember titan had hard times with KP45 and u-boot Mar 27 07:18:28 Fabry too http://talk.maemo.org/member.php?u=48410 Mar 27 07:18:43 sure, so what? Mar 27 07:19:26 nothing DocScrutinizer. just mentioning Mar 27 07:19:43 I'm just saying there are other specific properties of the particular device than hw-revision Mar 27 07:19:53 i hve been wanting to flash device for a while now.. maybe this is the opportunity :/ Mar 27 07:21:57 and the problem of size(kp)+size(uboot)>free(kernel_mtd) is not new at all Mar 27 07:23:26 I'm not sure you even get a notice or warning when the "kernel" image you want to flash is >free_in_nand Mar 27 07:23:47 probably not even without any bad blocks Mar 27 07:24:17 i.e. when your kernel img is larger than _nominal_ size of kernel partition Mar 27 07:24:54 probably kernel gets simply truncated at end Mar 27 07:25:12 up to you too figure the results Mar 27 07:25:23 s/too/to/ Mar 27 07:25:25 DocScrutinizer meant: up to you to figure the results Mar 27 07:29:17 on the bright side: initrd partition is unused and directly follows kernel partition. So we _could_ ignore partition size resp repartition for larger kernel and smaller initrd partition Mar 27 07:29:58 alas partitions are hardcoded to flasher afaik Mar 27 07:31:02 and to NOLO, and to uBoot, and to kernel - I guess Mar 27 07:41:04 btw / is on which /dev node? Mar 27 08:01:26 Sicelo: ubi0:rootfs Mar 27 08:03:33 thanks merlin1991 :) Mar 27 08:07:33 wow Mar 27 08:07:51 with no widgets my damn n900 is lasting like 4x longer on a charge Mar 27 08:07:52 wth? Mar 27 08:08:18 are you surprised? Mar 27 08:08:20 i figured widgets would stop running once the screen was turned off Mar 27 08:08:31 Obviously if a widget is polling for data or using a lot of CPU then it'll use up battery Mar 27 08:08:32 but they gotta deliver you the news and so on Mar 27 08:08:33 sort of yes Mar 27 08:08:40 Depends how the widget is coded Mar 27 08:08:44 (and some widgets are plain crap) Mar 27 08:08:50 Maemo doesnt suspend anything as an OS Mar 27 08:08:54 there was some egg timer thingy that hogged 100% cpu and was crap anyway Mar 27 08:08:58 that sucks Mar 27 08:09:00 That's android Mar 27 08:09:05 oh Mar 27 08:09:15 can the widgets bemade to stop polling data when the screen is off? Mar 27 08:09:29 configure them to poll every hour instead of every 15min Mar 27 08:09:37 Obviously they shouldn't be polling dat Mar 27 08:09:38 A Mar 27 08:09:39 1/4th the life is a little out there :) Mar 27 08:09:50 heh Mar 27 08:10:05 This is why iOS suspends apps in the background Mar 27 08:10:13 lol Mar 27 08:10:19 fair enough Mar 27 08:10:24 And doesn't have widgets Mar 27 08:10:37 maybe something cssu can fix... suspending widgets during sleep Mar 27 08:10:40 :) Mar 27 08:10:45 Not really Mar 27 08:10:50 damn Mar 27 08:10:52 ah well Mar 27 08:10:54 Ask devs to fix their widgets Mar 27 08:10:59
