**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Fri Sep 11 03:00:00 2009 Sep 11 03:05:59 ok at least i load the plug's kernel again, now i just need he other defaults of what i changed tinkering with debian instructions, then deciding to just move ubuntu to /dev/sda1 instead Sep 11 03:14:21 resetenv isn't for me either Sep 11 03:24:40 i should have saved a copy of printenv before touching anything with setenv, hind sight.... Sep 11 03:31:16 setenv bootargs_nand $(bootargs) Sep 11 03:31:17 setenv bootcmd_nand $(bootcmd) Sep 11 03:31:17 saveenv Sep 11 03:31:23 nice way of making backups Sep 11 03:31:37 little too late as you can tell on my verbosity Sep 11 03:35:11 morfic: hi Sep 11 03:35:41 hi Sep 11 03:36:40 the u-Boot params are the same kernel is kernel Sep 11 03:39:43 i figured if the parameters work for debian on sda1, they work for ubuntu on sda1, in theory i shouldn't have a bigger problem than a incorrect image name Sep 11 03:40:34 yep Sep 11 03:41:54 ok, then i get my serial console back and look why it ain't working Sep 11 03:42:09 cu just got hung up on, now it say ttyUSB0 is still in use Sep 11 03:43:39 hmmm Sep 11 03:43:44 needed to rechown it Sep 11 03:44:02 cleared it up unless it just happened to get released at that time Sep 11 03:44:03 you might have to unload the module and reload it Sep 11 03:44:11 maybe Sep 11 03:44:34 i hate when it scans usb device and all i get is the T Sep 11 03:45:00 phew, 2 storage devices found, sometime the T never happens and it finds both devices in a snap Sep 11 03:45:48 i would love to just be able to boot back off the NAND, so i can store those settings while i tinker and figure out why it isn't booting off usb disk Sep 11 03:48:20 tinker-f595: you wouldn't happen to know a link where they have the u-boot environment with which the sheeva was shipped? i can't seem to google up a default Sep 11 03:48:57 what are you trying to do? Sep 11 03:50:49 right now, booting the image on the nand Sep 11 03:51:07 so i can always revert to that Sep 11 03:51:17 ultimately, boot off the disk Sep 11 03:51:36 oh Sep 11 03:51:40 i would like to boot off the sheeva's image, so i can even verify the kernel names Sep 11 03:51:48 http://www.openplug.org/plugwiki/index.php/External_Hard_Drives Sep 11 03:52:10 uImage is the name Sep 11 03:52:23 or do you mean kernel version? Sep 11 03:52:41 i just need the kernel name as uboot parameter Sep 11 03:53:08 i kept seen uImage.sheeva.20090319 so i wasn't sure what the name would be Sep 11 03:53:25 is uImage a link to the current version that u-boot can use? Sep 11 03:54:06 i change the arcNumber when reading the debian link, what does that need to be if i just copied ubuntu to sda1? Sep 11 03:54:44 same Sep 11 03:54:58 arcNumber is the type of device Sep 11 03:55:19 tinker-f595: what's with the 5 zero vs 6 zeros in the addresses? seems 6 zeros is wrong? Sep 11 03:55:33 ???? Sep 11 03:56:41 setenv bootcmd 'usb start; ext2load usb 0:1 0x8000000 /boot/uImage; bootm 0x8000000; reset' Sep 11 03:57:29 they all got 6, googling around i came across one where they suggested one 0 was too much Sep 11 03:58:29 6 zeros is correct Sep 11 03:59:06 i have long entered ADD mode, where not knowing becomes so annoying i close to shut down all usual thinking, not finding what i want on google adds to that quick as well Sep 11 03:59:22 ok, a few good answers might straighten me back out Sep 11 03:59:34 ha Sep 11 03:59:39 http://www.openplug.org/plugwiki/index.php/Factory_Default_u-Boot_Environment Sep 11 03:59:55 read the whole page before doing anything Sep 11 04:00:58 well off to build a fedora 11 disk Sep 11 04:01:22 thanks, factory default, i have a ton of tabs open, never hit this googling Sep 11 04:01:51 that is cause your not searching ;) Sep 11 04:02:22 ouch Sep 11 04:02:39 only word i didn't use is Factory Sep 11 04:11:00 nice, booting image off sheeva Sep 11 04:23:30 thanks tinker-f595 Sep 11 04:42:40 tinker-f595: at least i am now certain that rechowning ttyUSB0 fixed it earlier, it did it again now Sep 11 04:43:30 intersting Sep 11 04:43:47 when i pull the usb hub it hangs up Sep 11 04:44:03 then serial is "in use", i run the chown uucp again and it can reconnect Sep 11 04:44:10 heard of that happening Sep 11 04:44:17 too bad it's not even trying to boot off the disk Sep 11 04:44:34 drives worked fine through this passive hub from internal image Sep 11 04:44:54 I boot off a disk Sep 11 04:45:08 ok, now it gave up and reset Sep 11 04:45:20 can i paste 6 lines? Sep 11 04:45:58 into u-Boot? Sep 11 04:46:11 http://pastebin.com/m1ba463dd Sep 11 04:46:14 I have never had much luck pasting into uboot Sep 11 04:46:24 no i meant in here Sep 11 04:46:34 most channels allow pastes direct under X lines Sep 11 04:46:49 i did paste into uboot line by line, not 6 at once Sep 11 04:47:35 be careful of control characters Sep 11 04:48:40 ext2load has no issues with ext3, does it? (ext3 == ext2+journal) Sep 11 04:49:48 i see nothing strange that shouldn't paste Sep 11 04:49:58 although, i admit, not used to serial at all Sep 11 04:50:39 good question I have only tried it with ext2 Sep 11 04:50:59 well you won't see control characters Sep 11 04:54:28 doing it manually, i just loaded the kernel off the disk Sep 11 04:55:01 usb start worked w/o a hitch this time though, no waiting, nothing, both drives were detected in a snap Sep 11 04:57:40 looks like i have to find out what makes the disks and sheeva happy together tomorrow Sep 11 05:00:07 ok, this is first time it actually loads kernel off the drives Sep 11 05:00:32 i see nothing happen after ... done, booting the kernel. Sep 11 05:01:34 tinker-f595: do you run the bootcmd and bootargs from the external disk link? Sep 11 05:02:50 nevermind, forgot he had the setenv needed in the readme Sep 11 05:03:53 look at my write up http://www.openplug.org/plugwiki/index.php/External_Hard_Drives Sep 11 05:04:45 remember u-Boot resides in nand Sep 11 05:05:25 yes Sep 11 05:07:11 which kernel image are you using? Sep 11 05:07:58 your write up gets me loading the kernel, uncompressing, but then it stops Sep 11 05:08:13 setenv bootargs rootfstype=jffs2 console=ttyS0,115200 mtdparts=orion_nand:0x400000@0x100000(uImage),0x1fb00000@0x500000(rootfs) rw root=/dev/mtdblock1 rw ip=192.168.1.9:192.168.1.4:192.168.1.4:255.255.255.0:DB88FXX81:eth0:none Sep 11 05:09:01 this is what he says you need to put for his kernel, i guess i try that with only root=/dev/sda1 Sep 11 05:26:41 which kernel you using? Sep 11 05:27:27 what you have above is for booting from nand Sep 11 05:27:34 right Sep 11 05:28:12 so the only difference of what he has is rootfstype, which i shouldn't need either Sep 11 05:28:26 which kernel you using? Sep 11 05:28:28 i just realized i need a big kick in the arse Sep 11 05:28:33 haha Sep 11 05:28:40 what did you do? Sep 11 05:28:55 u-boot is 1.1.4, am i not supposed to first get 1.2 on that thing? Sep 11 05:29:08 lets see Sep 11 05:29:13 2.6.30.5 btw Sep 11 05:29:44 .6, typo Sep 11 05:33:39 been a while since I booted my SheevaPlug and looked at the u-boot...so can't quite remember u-boot version. It just goes and goes Sep 11 05:34:25 i know that feeling Sep 11 05:34:55 there is certainly some difference between when i hit reset and when i wake up disks last by unplugging Sep 11 05:35:13 usb start does not always execute the same, ok, disks don't wake up the same on usb start Sep 11 05:35:33 hmmm Sep 11 05:36:57 unlike on the laptop, the disks even assembled with mdadm --assemble --scan, on laptop i had to give it the individual devices, so i was pretty sure usb drives work pretty good on sheeva Sep 11 05:37:13 figured i make sure i can use em ok before i touch anything Sep 11 05:38:16 what drive are you using? Sep 11 05:38:46 WD drives Sep 11 05:38:51 ah Sep 11 05:39:42 worked fine on the slug Sep 11 05:39:42 yes, they sleep, but nfs never had issues waking them up, there was just an initial lag if i didn't use em in a while Sep 11 05:40:53 but it does seem to affect how i boot if i setenv in u-boot alot, they sleep and usb start does not work as efficient as it does with freshly connected drives Sep 11 05:41:02 plug into usb == on switch Sep 11 05:41:27 hmmmm Sep 11 05:41:45 don't have that problem with the drive I am using Sep 11 05:42:31 well, once kernel loads, stuff should happen if the disk is sleepy or not, and nothing does happen after uncompressing kernel Sep 11 05:43:04 since it's a usb to serial device, intial console is ttyS0 as far as sheeva would be concerned, right? Sep 11 05:44:25 i think i resetenv, reset, let it diag, set it to defaults and boot it like that again Sep 11 05:46:27 i should not be up anymore Sep 11 05:46:35 i get up in 4 hours Sep 11 05:51:02 eth0: link up, full duplex, speed 1 Gbps Sep 11 05:51:13 at least i have a link now to go back to square one Sep 11 05:56:23 night Sep 11 09:16:39 whee - 1.0! Sep 11 09:16:50 anyone tried it on a win machine yet? Sep 11 09:37:11 hi DDevine Sep 11 09:38:47 Hi Sep 11 09:39:30 seen the 1.0 release just got put up? Sep 11 09:43:01 Seen it now. Sep 11 09:44:33 if you get a chance to install it using windows, let me know - I'm upto the point of running it via the runme.exe with the drivers, and have it open and close instantly on me. Sep 11 09:56:39 I don't run Windows. Sep 11 11:45:02 Hey I've tried the 1.0.0 install, http://pastie.org/613394 and im getting a magic boot number error :/ Sep 11 14:29:40 woot. it has arrived and it lives ... Sep 11 14:30:15 * fnordianslip is new user Sep 11 15:00:34 hi fnordianslip Sep 11 15:00:46 anyone able to help this? http://youporn.com/watch/143447/manga-hentai-porno-teacher-fuck-me/ Sep 11 15:01:33 hi dude. er, not sure about that help request though ... Sep 11 16:24:35 i fail at buying hostapd capable usb wifi adapters Sep 11 16:26:59 rektide: unlucky. so i don't fail so badly, which ones have you tried? just got my plug and running installer1.0 at the mo ... Sep 11 16:42:56 alfa awus050nh and alfa awus036h Sep 11 16:43:10 realtek 8187b and ralink rt2800usb Sep 11 16:43:32 well, vicea verse, other way around Sep 11 16:46:21 have you purchased all of those? that's a bummer Sep 11 16:46:46 rektide: what chips are in those? Sep 11 16:48:46 the second line was the chipsets. the awus036h is a realtek 8187b, the awus050nh is a ralink rt2870 aka a rt2800usb. Sep 11 16:48:58 colossal pain in the ass Sep 11 16:59:22 ahh. was worried when the installer1.0 seemed to always fail, but it was a dodgy USB stick, as it seems to be flashing the rootfs image into the MTD OK now, with a different USB stick - woohoo Sep 11 17:01:41 even more woohoo - it lives again, with 2.6.30.2 - woohoo woohoo. nothing like a brand new toy to play with over the weekend Sep 11 18:02:13 having just used installer1.0 to flash the MTD, i'm now considering doing it again, but this time installing to the SDHC card. should i make a record of the appropriate settings in the current u-boot env, so i can switch back and forth between the same two rootfs devices, or are they listed in the wiki or something? Sep 11 19:00:31 installer1.0? *goes to look* Sep 11 20:16:56 Hi, trying to get the Installer 1.0 working, but I get the error: openocd/openocd: error while loading shared libraries: libftdi.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Sep 11 21:00:34 MarkG: i had that earlier. l installed libftdi1 with apt-get and made progress Sep 11 21:42:08 Anyone got SheevaPlug installer 1.0 working at all? Seems horribly broken compared to alpha6, which worked almost right away for me (after changing USB PID/VendorID). Every step seems to be messed up somehow ;-( Sep 11 21:42:58 apt-get install libftdi1 got me to the next error, "Can't find openocd/config/board/sheevaplug.cfg" Sep 11 21:46:08 yep. worked ok for me for an install to the MTD Sep 11 21:54:48 Installing to MTD too, however the runme.php seems to have silly hardcoded PID and VendorID's Not very good if you have a new plug with the new USB chips Sep 11 21:56:05 gonna boot windows, and try the WIn32 installer, see if it's any less buggy (although I suspect it's just a compiled version of the same PHP script.. Sep 11 21:56:20 hmm. well, i read the README and the wiki page, concluded the instructions were a bit wrong, ran the runme.php script and it all kinda worked, without me doing anyhing else. didn't bother changing to the right MAC address though Sep 11 21:56:52 my plug is pobly pretty new, as it arrived today Sep 11 21:57:02 probly, even Sep 11 21:57:02 those instructions are wrong too. Sep 11 21:57:21 can't have been that wrong, though as it did work Sep 11 21:57:24 perhaps because I ran alpha6 previously then... Sep 11 21:58:55 i'd have thought that a new uboot-env image, a new uboot and a new rootfs wouldn't leave much from a previous install. Sep 11 22:01:29 the .cfg file you referred to is there in extracted tarball Sep 11 22:02:25 yes, but the directory structure seems strange Sep 11 22:02:53 the error says it's looking in "openocd/config/board/sheevaplug.cfg" Sep 11 22:03:35 I am executing the command from the location of the runme.php, and the file is actually located: uboot/openocd/config/board/sheevaplug.cfg Sep 11 22:04:59 if you read the runme.php, it does a cd into the uboot folder in line 118 Sep 11 22:10:55 Am I being stupid here, but in the instructions steps 5 and 6 are exactly the same. Sep 11 22:10:58 is that right? Sep 11 22:13:58 yep, pretty much. i just copied the files int he installer folder to a freshly partitioned usb stick, plugged it in, hooked up the debug usb cable, powered on the plug, ran the runme.php, and ran screen to see u-boot run when it was ready, and it worked out just fine Sep 11 22:15:22 sorry, when i said yep, i didn't mean you were being stupid, but, yep, that is right ;-) Sep 11 22:17:39 actually I meant steps 4 and 5 are identical :-) Sep 11 22:20:44 indeed. i just did step 4 and ignored steps 5 & 6. didn't spot you quoting the wrong numbers though, just blindly agreed Sep 11 22:29:18 seem to be having LOTS more luck on Windows... Sep 11 22:31:01 how unusual ;-) Sep 11 22:32:52 after changing Vendor/PID, it's worked first time Sep 11 22:33:03 Just loading rootfs from USB key now.. Sep 11 22:34:01 The Linux system that did not work, was a recently installed Ubuntu 9.04 Desktop (32bit), with php5-cli and libftdi1 installed Sep 11 22:34:01 i didn't make those changes. i'm running crunchabng/jaunty with a 2.6.30 kernel on my eee. Sep 11 22:34:21 i had to add those packages too Sep 11 22:34:49 32bit here also Sep 11 22:35:09 crunchbang, even Sep 11 22:38:02 Greetings all. I'm having a case of brain death here. Sep 11 22:38:13 kill the zombie Sep 11 22:38:32 How the crap do I set a u-Boot variable to contain multiple commands separated by semicolons? It executes them instead. Sep 11 22:38:42 * SDuensin did it before and forgot how. Sep 11 22:39:53 Nevermind. Sep 11 22:40:00 The magic sauce is to use single quotes, not double. Sep 11 23:30:54 // Sep 11 23:34:41 Has anyone tried to use an external enclosure with two hdds in JBOD mode with the sheevaplug? I've got one, some rosewill one with a jmicron chipset, and on the sheevaplug it only picks up one of the two drives. both show up fine in arch linux on my desktop. Running whatver the sheevaplug installer installs + the 2.6.30.6 kernel. Sep 12 01:06:16 to slow things down a little, should i upgrade u-boot to 1.2 before further messing with u-boot? Sep 12 01:23:29 is there a newer image than 040309 if i want to stick with non mainline kernels for a first boot off the usb disk? Sep 12 01:49:38 morfic: the answer is no Sep 12 01:50:15 good, thanks Sep 12 01:51:15 now if bubt only grabbed from usb stick.... seems it is still going for tftp, and docs for recovery from usb from u-boot just says to install the image of uboot with bubt, it's the only command the pdf does not seem to give ;) Sep 12 01:52:23 http://plugcomputer.org/plugforum/index.php?action=printpage;topic=400.0 suggests it's all i got to do Sep 12 01:54:13 pulling out the stick no difference, trying some other device Sep 12 01:56:40 wait a minute Sep 12 02:03:02 fun, it picked up my tftp, well, who is going to complain Sep 12 02:04:25 hm, so let me get this straight, the files are in a 1.2 package, but the content is still a 1.1.4 u-boot? **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sat Sep 12 02:59:56 2009
