Jan 24 05:14:52 <dumfrac> rwhitby: do you know the status of the gpio patch for ixp4xx? The status file says that it was submitted upstream via the i2c maintainer.
Jan 24 05:15:15 <rwhitby> yes, I did that.
Jan 24 05:15:29 <rwhitby> I don't know if it has gone to Linus yet, but it is definitely in the i2c tree.
Jan 24 05:15:40 <rwhitby> it could be a 2.6.25 stream
Jan 24 05:16:05 <dumfrac> ok, thanks!
Jan 24 16:38:48 <Annirak> Ok, maybe I'm too much of a newb here, but I am having a ton of trouble checking out http://svn.nslu2-linux.org/svnroot/kernel/trunk/.  What is the repository path?
Jan 24 16:52:45 <Annirak> never mind, ignore that, I'm being dumb
Jan 24 19:03:28 <CIA-15> 03bzhou * r7651 10optware/trunk/make/privoxy.mk: privoxy: 3.0.6 -> 3.0.8
Jan 24 19:49:40 <Annirak> So I'm trying to build apex for debian.  The current version of Apex uses kernel 2.6.23 and 2.6.24.  Since debian is currently only up to 2.6.22, will I be needing to rebuild the debian kernel too?
Jan 24 19:53:24 <CIA-15> 03bzhou * r7652 10optware/trunk/make/erlang.mk: erlang: erts time correction method based on 2.6 or not
Jan 24 21:19:31 <Annirak> Is there any way to set my NSLU2's IP to something known?  I'm not sure what its IP is, and I can't find it on my network...
Jan 24 21:59:51 <rwhitby> Annirak: ignore the kernel version when building apex.  "make APEX_CONFIG=debian ENDIAN=l apex" is all you need I think (double check those variables).
Jan 24 22:00:24 <rwhitby> Annirak: I don't understand how you have a fatslug but don't have serial on it.
Jan 24 22:01:09 <Annirak> I just haven't wired one up
Jan 24 22:02:02 <Annirak> So do you have any ideas on how to find my slug?
Jan 24 22:02:11 <Annirak> It's beeped 3 times, so I know it's ready
Jan 24 22:02:16 <rwhitby> yeah, wire up a serial port :-)
Jan 24 22:02:20 <Annirak> :(
Jan 24 22:02:40 <rwhitby> what did you set the IP address to in the web interface before flashing the new firmware?
Jan 24 22:02:41 <Annirak> It's actually more of a pain to wire one up than it is to resolder that RAM.
Jan 24 22:03:10 <Annirak> rwhitby: last time I tried was over a year ago.  I actually don't remember any of that
Jan 24 22:03:19 <rwhitby> heh - I've wired up at least 10 devices for serial, but wouldn't think of attempting a RAM swap with the equipment I have.
Jan 24 22:03:38 <rwhitby> Annirak: you need to use the reset to factory defaults procedure then.
Jan 24 22:03:41 <Annirak> I have the equipment at my work
Jan 24 22:03:42 <rwhitby> (or wire up a serial port)
Jan 24 22:03:56 <Annirak> how did you do the serial port?
Jan 24 22:04:36 <rwhitby> you've seen the serial port wiki page?
Jan 24 22:04:51 <rwhitby> solder in a 4 pin IDC header
Jan 24 22:05:19 <rwhitby> then use a PC CDROM audio cable to connect to it.
Jan 24 22:05:41 <Annirak> None of that is the isse
Jan 24 22:05:53 <Annirak> I've just not wanted to do the level converter
Jan 24 22:05:54 <Annirak> but!
Jan 24 22:06:01 <Annirak> My network admin just got back to me
Jan 24 22:06:12 <Annirak> and apparently my network scan somehow missed the slug
Jan 24 22:06:23 <Annirak> he got its IP out of the lease table for me +)
Jan 24 22:08:58 <Reedy_Boy> rwhitby, can i ask a quick question..? not really relevant for this channel, but no ones responded in -general.. its a linux/disk space question
Jan 24 22:59:11 <Annirak> argh!
Jan 24 22:59:43 <Annirak> I'm trying to install with a vanilla debian installer
Jan 24 23:00:11 <Annirak> so that I can get a compatible system to compile apex to make a fatslug
Jan 24 23:00:50 <Annirak> well, it keeps disconnecting
Jan 24 23:02:16 <Annirak> I tried enabling the swap, but while I was formatting the partition, it disconnected my installer menu
Jan 24 23:05:14 <Annirak> ok, forget that, I'm going to build a new installer on my server
Jan 24 23:42:20 <joshin> FYI, I've wired both my slug serial ports and just connect TX on one to RX on the other and run a serial program.  Works fine and no level converter needed.
Jan 24 23:44:42 <eno> joshin: that's clever
Jan 24 23:48:53 <Reedy_Boy> it is
Jan 24 23:49:07 <Reedy_Boy> very rather
Jan 24 23:49:19 <Reedy_Boy> i suppose if ones working, the other can be accessed using serial
Jan 24 23:53:01 <Annirak> yeah, that's good
Jan 24 23:53:03 <Annirak> I like it
Jan 24 23:53:43 <Annirak> right now, the problem I'm having is that I can't compile Apec
Jan 24 23:53:46 <Annirak> -c+x
Jan 25 01:07:14 <rwhitby> Annirak: what's the problem you're having compiling Apex?
Jan 25 01:07:30 <Annirak> march=arm
Jan 25 01:07:44 <Annirak> Lame, I realise, but that is it.
Jan 25 01:10:55 <rwhitby> so you've compiled it now?
Jan 25 01:12:40 <Annirak> no... I've just run make setup-host-debian
Jan 25 01:12:45 <Annirak> it's nearly done
Jan 25 01:13:33 <rwhitby> you don't need any of that to simply build apex
Jan 25 01:13:41 <rwhitby> you do need a cross compiler though.
Jan 25 01:13:58 <rwhitby> and yes, the easiest way to get one of those is via the master makefile.
Jan 25 01:14:06 <Annirak>  /bin/sh: arm-linux-gcc: not found
Jan 25 01:14:12 <Annirak> after running the master makefile
Jan 25 01:14:14 <Annirak> *sigh*
Jan 25 01:14:28 <Annirak> I gotta run
Jan 25 01:14:31 <Annirak> or I will be late
Jan 25 01:14:37 <Annirak> I'll be on tomorrow
Jan 25 01:14:46 <Annirak> maybe I'll figure it out then
Jan 25 01:15:20 <rwhitby> right, you need to build a cross compiler. either via building a firmware image (e.g. slugosle) or some other means
Jan 25 01:18:45 <rwhitby> 2.6.24 is released
Jan 25 01:57:30 <joshin> Yay.  Maybe that oom-killer problem will be fixed by 2.6.9876
Jan 25 01:57:53 <ka6sox-laptop> joshin, heh
