**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Mon Dec 19 02:59:58 2011 Dec 19 10:22:06 hello Dec 19 10:22:21 how to change keyboard settings in linux... Dec 19 10:26:43 loadkeys Dec 19 10:58:16 hmm anyone know how to pass .cpio.gz to kernel? Dec 19 11:00:57 yes Dec 19 11:01:11 put it in the .config file Dec 19 11:01:11 u know how? Dec 19 11:01:22 or use make menuconfig Dec 19 11:01:26 u mean combine it? Dec 19 12:26:30 hmm anyone know how to pass .cpio.gz to kernel? separately? Dec 19 12:29:22 kaylessa, you will have to create a ramdisk and boot from the ramdisk? Dec 19 12:29:34 then switch_root Dec 19 12:29:53 cant i just pass initrd=0xXXX to my kernel Dec 19 12:30:31 kaylessa, I don't know but should be explained in the kernel doc Dec 19 12:30:49 ?? Dec 19 12:30:54 i read the kernel doc Dec 19 12:31:04 u read under External initramfs images: Dec 19 12:31:15 it say it can just pass .cpio.gz as initrd Dec 19 12:32:14 so just pass rd_start=address rd_size=size to kernel cmdline Dec 19 12:32:35 is rd_start or initrd? Dec 19 12:33:04 ok thanks i will try Dec 19 12:33:30 kaylessa: actually, it depends on cpu architecture Dec 19 12:33:32 :) Dec 19 12:33:38 o.O Dec 19 12:33:48 mine is arm Dec 19 12:34:19 then bootloader is responsible in filling atags about initrd properly Dec 19 12:34:54 i am kinda newb in this kinda stuff Dec 19 12:35:01 what is atags? Dec 19 12:35:09 i now have a .cpio.gz and a kernel Dec 19 12:35:17 i need the kernel to load .cpio.gz Dec 19 12:35:19 is there a way? Dec 19 12:35:24 i read kernel doc Dec 19 12:35:28 it say initrd Dec 19 12:35:30 but it doesnt work Dec 19 12:35:31 check Documentation/arm/Setup Dec 19 12:36:14 what bootloader do you use? Dec 19 12:36:17 read already Dec 19 12:36:17 lol Dec 19 12:36:20 everything i read Dec 19 12:36:25 can memorise Dec 19 12:36:29 i using uboot Dec 19 12:37:12 ok, let me check... Dec 19 12:40:56 thanks :) **** BEGIN LOGGING AT Mon Dec 19 12:51:54 2011 Dec 19 12:53:00 kaylessa: read http://www.mjmwired.net/kernel/Documentation/filesystems/ramfs-rootfs-initramfs.txt Dec 19 12:53:00 initramfs can be internal (built in) or external Dec 19 12:53:01 well, they can be stacked together, you can have more than a cpio.gz ;) Dec 19 12:54:06 kaylessa: well, you can integrate initramfs into kernel image (at the build time, specify CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE) Dec 19 12:55:43 another way is to build multicomponent kernel/initrd image for u-boot Dec 19 13:08:07 my kernel has initrd support enabled Dec 19 13:08:17 it should be able to read .cpio.gz file right? Dec 19 13:19:45 is .cpio.gz a ramdisk? Dec 19 13:20:10 its a file Dec 19 13:20:26 what it makes a ramdisk is the content Dec 19 13:20:43 and if it is attached to the kernel or loaded by similar meachnism Dec 19 13:23:37 u got try passing .cpio.gz separately into the kernel before? Dec 19 13:40:50 u-boot for instance can load the initrd seperatly Dec 19 14:06:08 hmm anyone know how to cross compile in oe? Dec 19 14:06:19 is there a bitbake command for it? Dec 19 14:09:49 kaylessa: you can as well test an initramfs using kexec Dec 19 14:11:30 whats a kexec? Dec 19 14:13:05 i will try thanks antwaork Dec 19 14:14:25 ?? Dec 19 15:37:54 Tartarus: I'm just curious: what's the advantage of removing branch and then pushing it after rebase, instead of git push -f? Dec 19 15:45:53 JaMa: not all server side hooks obey -f. of course, allowing branch removals but not rebases would be stupid :) Dec 19 15:46:08 so arguably the only time that would be a valid consideration would be on a misconfigured server, imo Dec 19 15:46:55 ok, thanks Dec 19 15:51:23 JaMa: I always forget -f exists, too Dec 19 15:51:52 :) Dec 19 15:52:12 gah, downside to my learning mercurial as well as I know git, now I'm mixing up their commands Dec 19 21:16:01 !seen obi Dec 19 22:47:49 ka6sox-away: around Dec 19 22:52:46 hi khem Dec 19 22:53:32 woglinde: hu Dec 19 22:53:34 hi Dec 19 22:54:04 can you tell those BMW guys to leave the dip stick in the engine to measure the old level please Dec 19 22:54:38 o.O Dec 19 22:54:40 or not fit those flaky sensors which needs to be replaced like underwears Dec 19 22:54:59 hi khem Dec 19 22:55:02 hi woglinde Dec 19 22:55:05 I have no car Dec 19 22:55:10 ericben: hello Dec 19 22:55:30 khem: does your patch for G++ fix the random problem we met with c++ headers someetime being not found ? Dec 19 22:55:56 ericben: I havent encountered the problem so I dont know the cause of it Dec 19 22:56:16 ericben: but gxx-headers in gcc are supposed to be absolute Dec 19 22:56:25 khem: ok I'll fire a build with BB=8 Dec 19 22:56:35 today a customer met the problem with BB=2 Dec 19 22:56:38 and I dont think my patch directly does anything to fix this problem Dec 19 22:56:54 but it does change the default location to be inside sysroot Dec 19 22:56:55 ok that's waht I was afraid of Dec 19 22:57:02 and that could fix it Dec 19 22:57:28 ericben: have you encountered the problem ? Dec 19 22:57:48 khem: several times Dec 19 22:58:09 I uses to reproduce it easily with BBTHREAD=8 Dec 19 22:58:12 the original patch we did for relocating those headers was kind of what we do now but its more inline with gcc Dec 19 22:58:24 ericben: please try it again with my patch then Dec 19 22:58:36 I dont have luxury of large build machines Dec 19 22:58:51 that's what I going to do as soon as my build is erased Dec 19 22:58:57 cool Dec 19 22:59:04 I am around for few hours here Dec 19 22:59:14 so if you have anything interesting let me know Dec 19 22:59:56 probably there is a gcc configurability bug here which could now be latent again with my patch but then who cares if it works Dec 19 23:00:32 khem: ok, I'll go to sleep after launching it but I'll keep your informed of the result tomorrow Dec 19 23:00:43 ericben: very well Dec 20 02:17:28 is it possible to pass.cpio.gz without any parameters to kernel cmdline? Dec 20 02:36:47 any idea how to compile helloworld in OE? Dec 20 02:37:36 o.O Dec 20 02:38:06 why the hell it is so compilcated to set your initrd inside make menuconfig Dec 20 02:38:36 and read in the wiki how to write .bb files Dec 20 02:38:40 good nite Dec 20 02:44:26 if it work i wont be asking here :( Dec 20 02:44:37 i pass initrd already Dec 20 02:44:40 but it doesnt work Dec 20 02:46:44 kaylessa: what are you tryin Dec 20 02:47:06 passing .cpio.gz to my kernel Dec 20 02:47:21 i manage to compile it together and it work Dec 20 02:47:32 i am trying to separate out now Dec 20 02:47:37 and it fail Dec 20 02:51:56 I dont understand what oe has to do with it Dec 20 02:52:06 its specified on kernel cmdline Dec 20 02:52:12 that you must be specifying Dec 20 02:53:16 i specify already Dec 20 02:53:25 i specify initrd Dec 20 02:53:33 do i need to specify other cmd? Dec 20 02:58:01 what is your .config of kernel and kernel cmdline **** ENDING LOGGING AT Tue Dec 20 02:59:57 2011
