Jan 21 14:08:13 _faulpelz: ;) you can't upgrade the kernel on SlugOS, so that's an easy one. Jan 21 14:10:38 <_faulpelz> no Jan 21 14:10:58 <_faulpelz> i build entirely from master makefile, BUT i have hardware, where the HEAD kernel is to "old" Jan 21 14:11:18 <_faulpelz> i have no luck compiling a 2.8.28 kernel by modding the exiting scripts Jan 21 14:11:30 <_faulpelz> the resulting kernel has no LEDs and segfaulted often Jan 21 14:12:34 <_faulpelz> another problem is on slogos beta 4.8: i use a dm9601 usb/ethernet-adapter, but the 2.6.21 kernel driver is buggy and adapter is mostly not working/lost ip connection/stalling Jan 21 14:13:12 <_faulpelz> so my primary goal is to replace the 2.6.21 kernel with the most actual 2.6.28 - but experiment failed, see above Jan 21 14:14:00 There should be no need for any nslu2-linux patches for 2.6.28, so the problems you encounter would seem to be linux kernel problems. (The most recent kernel we are using for dev head is 2.6.27.) So if you got a 2.6.28 kernel to build for you, then it would seem that there is Jan 21 14:14:18 maybe a defconfig problem, but more likely upstream Linux kernel bugs. Jan 21 14:14:44 <_faulpelz> i see trunk-patch from yesterday for 2.6.29rc2 Jan 21 14:14:55 <_faulpelz> and manually added this parts to mastermakefile Jan 21 14:15:10 <_faulpelz> resulting kernel has no LEDs and segfaults, but is booting and crappy working Jan 21 14:15:21 Have you searched the appropriate places with your symptoms to see if others have already discovered these problems with generic ARM or IXP devices and 2.6.28? Jan 21 14:15:22 <_faulpelz> i asume i use a wrong repository or something else ? Jan 21 14:15:43 <_faulpelz> i read since weeks all howtos and and and Jan 21 14:15:52 No, you do not need to use *anything* from the trunk for 2.6.28 as far as I know Jan 21 14:16:04 <_faulpelz> i only like to upgrade the OLD 4.8 noneabi to more recent kernel, but no luck :( Jan 21 14:16:14 You should be able to build a proper kernel directly from the upstream Linux sources. Jan 21 14:16:25 <_faulpelz> thats strange Jan 21 14:16:42 <_faulpelz> the kernel from upstream 2.8.28 from today the LEDs on slug are not working Jan 21 14:16:58 <_faulpelz> i have a simpler question: can i use and 2.6.28 kernel on the OLD 4.8 slogos ? Jan 21 14:17:01 Did I not say that there were probably bugs upstreaM? Jan 21 14:17:11 <_faulpelz> i asume i need newer modutils/lib something else ? Jan 21 14:18:01 <_faulpelz> i have binary-only files that ONLY runs on non-EABI, so iŽam forces to work with the old 4.8beta, but i need a newer kernel, i must use the dm9601 driver for usb/ethernet Jan 21 14:18:09 I don't know; you probably will need other changes, because the kernel interfaces to the LEDs and other things have changed; SlugOS 4.8 user-space does not support newer kernels (2.6.24 or so was the last one that was working well). Jan 21 14:18:27 <_faulpelz> yes, change the led interface i asumed, too :) Jan 21 14:18:50 <_faulpelz> ok, thats a helpfull info, so i can tr to gut up the kernel 2.6.24 latest on the old sys ? Jan 21 14:19:28 <_faulpelz> i tried another thing: i hav no luck to bring up 2 USB WLAN sticks on any slogos Jan 21 14:19:45 <_faulpelz> rt73usb and rtl8187B Jan 21 14:20:04 <_faulpelz> all the time usb init error, up the 2.6.29rc Jan 21 14:20:36 <_faulpelz> testing the same with ubunto, older 2.6.24 kernel on x86, it was working Jan 21 23:19:08 note that the names of the led /sys files changed around 2.6.27 ...
