**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sun Apr 17 23:59:57 2005 **** BEGIN LOGGING AT Mon Apr 18 01:42:33 2005 Apr 18 04:38:23 [g2]: Finally got around to putting the images in a gallery... They're up at http://www.repvik.org/photos/slug Apr 18 04:38:31 A few other pics there as well Apr 18 04:43:52 <[g2]> cool Apr 18 04:44:05 morning [g2] Apr 18 04:44:47 you built openslug-image lately? I tried building a day or so ago and it failed Apr 18 05:10:34 <[g2]> jacques, I haven't built for quite a while :( Apr 18 05:10:49 <[g2]> I've been working on the native toolchain and APEX Apr 18 05:11:14 <[g2]> I Apr 18 05:11:26 <[g2]> I'll be back later Apr 18 17:28:31 Does anyone know where the 4.x binaries are kept? rwhitby said he built them and made them available on the net. Apr 18 18:32:14 beewoolie-away: ping Apr 18 18:32:59 <[g2]> rwhitby-web, he's away right now will be back later Apr 18 18:33:08 <[g2]> he was looking for 4.x Apr 18 18:33:13 <[g2]> but started building it Apr 18 18:33:16 he was asking for Unslung 4.x binaries. nslu.sf.net/downloads Apr 18 18:33:33 <[g2]> Is a binary there ? Apr 18 18:33:42 the 4.14-alpha there is up to date except for /dev/dsp addition Apr 18 18:33:57 yeah, we're "leaking" binaries to try and get the alpha count up :-) Apr 18 18:34:10 <[g2]> nod. Apr 18 18:34:24 IRC treat only. no mention on the mailing list Apr 18 18:34:32 <[g2]> I get a page not found for the above url Apr 18 18:35:18 <[g2]> rwhitby-web, can you do me a favor and run dd if=/dev/mtdblock0 bs=1000 count=262 | md5sum Apr 18 18:35:25 <[g2]> on a Slug or two ? Apr 18 18:35:42 <[g2]> and any clue where dyoung has been ? Apr 18 18:35:44 that url is there - sure you spelled it right? Apr 18 18:35:58 <[g2]> it's a right click from in Xchat Apr 18 18:36:17 <[g2]> no spelling needed for my fingers :) Apr 18 18:36:21 83deb02a8df713e638afc13bc2b4f46c - Apr 18 18:36:32 <[g2]> thx Apr 18 18:36:47 <[g2]> that's what everyone is getting :) Apr 18 18:36:50 same on a second one Apr 18 18:36:56 <[g2]> makes for very good compression :) Apr 18 18:36:59 what's it mean? Apr 18 18:37:34 i heard dyoung was out of the country Apr 18 18:37:54 <[g2]> I think they may only be about 20 bytes different in the Redboot bootloader MTD section Apr 18 18:38:11 <[g2]> that md5sum is all but the last 144 bytes Apr 18 18:38:23 BTW, we have 28 OpenSlug alpha testers. Time for a beta release? Apr 18 18:38:42 <[g2]> what ever happened with the Click-through license stuff ? Apr 18 18:38:53 i thought that was ready to go Apr 18 18:38:57 <[g2]> last I heard ka6sox-office and byronT were looking at that stuff Apr 18 18:39:11 <[g2]> putting some click-through stuff together Apr 18 18:39:41 is that the only think on the list before a binary release? Apr 18 18:39:46 s/think/thing/ Apr 18 18:39:53 I think ka6sox-office told me he was done Apr 18 18:40:23 [g2]: sounds like it's time for the Release Manager to pull it all together ;-) Apr 18 18:40:43 maybe we can have a synchronised Unslung and OpenSlug release .... Apr 18 18:41:04 <[g2]> I've been building native stuff and APEX Apr 18 18:41:19 <[g2]> I've probably pretty close to a self-hosting OpenSlug Apr 18 18:41:23 are they on the punchlist? Apr 18 18:41:33 <[g2]> the full kernel built, less the IXP drivers Apr 18 18:42:03 <[g2]> the native stuff and APEX, not on the punchlist, in the "nice" or next release list Apr 18 18:42:34 <[g2]> wheels hey ! Apr 18 18:42:42 <[g2]> there's another openslugger Apr 18 18:42:43 Hey, g2. Apr 18 18:42:53 so is the click-through the only thing on the punchlist? Apr 18 18:42:54 <[g2]> I'll be he's gonna tell me the build is broken :) Apr 18 18:43:14 <[g2]> s/be/bet/ Apr 18 18:43:41 dwheeler: are you the same dwheeler on the git mailing list? Apr 18 18:43:42 <[g2]> I think the click-through was the last think, except for the annoying "irq nobody cared" issue Apr 18 18:43:55 No. Must be another one. Apr 18 18:44:05 <[g2]> git looks pretty cool Apr 18 18:44:36 the other one is dwheeler@dwheeler.com :-) Apr 18 18:45:12 <[g2]> this dwheeler was late to the internet :) Apr 18 18:45:20 dwheeler.com? That used to be some nutritional supplements web site. (Or was that dwheeler.org?) Apr 18 18:45:55 Actually dwheeler.com was available and I tried to register it, messed up and tried again a month later -- it was gone. Apr 18 18:46:42 g2, my problem booting to /dev/sda2 came back spontaneously. Apr 18 18:46:59 <[g2]> really ? Apr 18 18:47:08 (I'm still running old stuff, though, any idea if this could have changed in the past week? Apr 18 18:47:32 <[g2]> I haven't pulled in quite some time Apr 18 18:47:51 <[g2]> I've been playing with the bootloader and the Native compiles on my hd Apr 18 18:47:59 Maybe it's got something to do with my reader: Its a Sandisk USB 2.0 CF reader. Apr 18 18:48:23 <[g2]> I hope you've got those mounted "noatime" Apr 18 18:48:37 <[g2]> ah... the microdrive's in there right ? Apr 18 18:48:48 It's using an IBM microdrive. Don't need noatime. Apr 18 18:49:37 <[g2]> you soldered the serial connection on there, what's serial say when switchbox is trying to pivot onto .sda2root ? Apr 18 18:50:10 I'll let you know in a sec. Apr 18 18:53:24 Here's the key part of the boot sequence: Apr 18 18:54:06 Vendor: Generic Model: STORAGE DEVICE Rev: 0119 Apr 18 18:54:06 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 00 Apr 18 18:54:06 Attached scsi removable disk sda at scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 0 Apr 18 18:54:06 Preferred root device is /dev/sda2 (disk 1) Apr 18 18:54:06 Sleeping 10sec while waiting for disk... Apr 18 18:54:07 mount: Mounting /dev/sda2 on /mnt/newroot failed: No medium found Apr 18 18:54:55 It stumbles through a couple more err msgs and then decides to use jffs2. Apr 18 18:55:25 <[g2]> I'm wondering if 10 seconds is not enough for the micro drive or it's just un happy with the second partition Apr 18 18:55:41 <[g2]> because you can mount it now Apr 18 18:55:49 What's really strange, I think, is that it was failing reliably like this, then started working reliably, and midweek it started failing reliably again. Apr 18 18:56:02 <[g2]> or how is the second partition formatted ext2 ? Apr 18 18:56:07 Actually I have trouble mounting it later too. Apr 18 18:56:32 /dev/sda1 is swap, /dev/sda2 is ext3 Apr 18 18:56:33 <[g2]> run fdisk and print the parition table Apr 18 18:57:16 The "no medium found" msg still occurs when I try to mount it manually after boot. Apr 18 18:57:29 <[g2]> run fsck on it Apr 18 18:57:41 will do. Apr 18 18:57:46 <[g2]> and what does the partition table say ? Apr 18 18:59:10 I'll get to that. Apr 18 18:59:25 <[g2]> fdisk /dev/sda Apr 18 18:59:26 <[g2]> p Apr 18 18:59:28 <[g2]> q Apr 18 18:59:41 Just now I unplugged the usb cable, replugged it in and was able to mount successfully. this happens consistently too. Apr 18 19:00:29 Here's fdisk print: Apr 18 19:00:31 Disk /dev/sda: 1077 MB, 1077608448 bytes Apr 18 19:00:31 64 heads, 63 sectors/track, 522 cylinders Apr 18 19:00:31 Units = cylinders of 4032 * 512 = 2064384 bytes Apr 18 19:00:31 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System Apr 18 19:00:31 /dev/sda1 1 100 201568+ 82 Linux swap Apr 18 19:00:31 /dev/sda2 101 522 850752 83 Linux Apr 18 19:01:00 fsck says it's clean. Apr 18 19:01:37 <[g2]> I'd got in and change switchbox to wait 15 seconds Apr 18 19:02:08 s/got/go Apr 18 19:02:12 <[g2]> see ya Apr 18 19:02:14 :-) Apr 18 19:02:21 <[g2]> thx for stopping by Apr 18 19:02:34 No I'm staying. I'm making fun of your typo! Apr 18 19:02:53 <[g2]> DOH! Apr 18 19:03:04 <[g2]> I'll positively kick-your-ass!... :) Apr 18 19:03:25 <[g2]> I'd go in and change switchbox to wait 15 seconds Apr 18 19:03:48 Yeah. I should try that. Apr 18 19:03:52 <[g2]> now, I'll leave that up to an exercise for the reader .... mister smarty pants :) Apr 18 19:04:05 That was my next question. Apr 18 19:04:37 * [g2] goes for a soda and makes dwheeler sweat for a while :) Apr 18 19:17:51 neat! cups-pdf seems to work great! Apr 18 19:18:03 <[g2]> cool Apr 18 19:18:14 <[g2]> are you running that on the slug ? :) Apr 18 19:18:44 nope :-) Apr 18 19:19:10 guess it's OT then :-D Apr 18 19:25:58 neat! http://students.washington.edu/natetrue/wiviz/ **** ENDING LOGGING AT Mon Apr 18 23:59:56 2005
