**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sat Oct 22 02:59:56 2005 Oct 22 10:19:56 hi, what is the defconfig I am actually using? Oct 22 10:20:05 I changed this one in mt the other day: openembedded/packages/linux/nslu2-kernel/2.6.14 Oct 22 10:20:27 but apperently this is the one used when building: openembedded/packages/linux/openslug-kernel-2.6.14-rc5 Oct 22 10:20:46 did I modify the right file? Oct 22 10:23:08 koen? Oct 22 10:23:15 no Oct 22 10:24:12 ok, then what is the diff between those two files, what is the purpose of the nslu2-kernel dir? Oct 22 10:24:47 nslu2-kernel is a distro-independent config. openslug-kernel is the openslug-specific kernel. Oct 22 10:25:58 expected that, but what is the goal/purpose of a distro independent one when each distro has its own Oct 22 10:26:57 Dunno Oct 22 10:27:30 ok Oct 22 10:27:43 I'll modify the other one as well Oct 22 10:28:03 good exercise to practice my mt knowledge Oct 22 10:28:21 ;) Oct 22 10:29:12 uhm Oct 22 10:29:21 why did you change netconsole from m to y? Oct 22 10:29:25 the only issue is that oe.handhelds.org seems down so I cannot access MonotonePhrasebook Oct 22 10:29:40 yeah, just noticed that, that is not intended Oct 22 10:29:48 I did this when debugging Oct 22 10:29:52 ah, ok Oct 22 10:30:29 had problems since I was using the wrong ixp drivers and was unaware of the cause. I thought by compiling in netconsole it would start earlier and probably give me some info. Oct 22 10:31:10 it didn't of course as the ixp module was wrong (went to a newer version and still had the old ixp module) Oct 22 10:31:39 see yesterdays log (assumint it is available somewhere; it is also possible we discussed on #nslu2-linux Oct 22 10:39:07 NAiL, that's why the change was not in the changelog Oct 22 10:43:12 NAiL, I've changed netconsole back and also updated openembedded/packages/linux/openslug-kernel-2.6.14-rc5/defconfig Oct 22 10:43:37 feel free to check if I did not do anything silly Oct 22 11:27:40 NAiL, koen, I feel I should also have bumped PR_CONFIG in nslu2-kernel_2.6.14-rc5.bb since I changed defconfig. right ? Oct 22 11:28:33 yes. And also the ixp modules so they are rebuilt Oct 22 11:29:06 my changes should not affect ixp Oct 22 11:29:14 still bump? Oct 22 11:33:17 I think so. Oct 22 11:36:06 ok Oct 22 11:42:11 done Oct 22 11:46:27 One more Q: in linux-2.6.13/drivers/usb/net/pegasus.h I've added a manufacturer/device id of an additional usb network adapter that is also supported by this driver; I've mailed my change to the maintainer of the file (as listed in the comment) and he told me he would add it to the official version. Meanwhile should I create a patch for this, or should I just keep this to myself? Oct 22 11:52:48 eFfeM: don't forget to mention the modified stuff in the start of the commit message Oct 22 11:52:56 some people are really picky about that Oct 22 11:53:41 koen, can you be more precise? Oct 22 11:54:16 somthing like 'openslug kernel: bump PRCONFIG' Oct 22 11:54:51 and 'ixp modules: bump PR since the kernel changed' Oct 22 11:55:03 ok, so I have been too verbose and not explicit enough Oct 22 11:55:18 something like that Oct 22 11:55:25 verbosity isn't a problem Oct 22 11:55:44 actually none of it is a problem, just etiquette :) Oct 22 11:56:39 ok, understood. I did not mention things like ixp modules and openslug kernel because I thought it was obvious from the filename Oct 22 11:57:22 the filename doesn't show up in most commit logs for the oe project (cia and commit mails) Oct 22 11:57:34 ah, didn't know that Oct 22 11:58:15 also I feel not too confident, so I'm inclined to put too much text on what/why was changed Oct 22 11:58:36 koen, do you have an opinion on the pegasus q I raised above? Oct 22 11:59:12 I'd say 'patch it' Oct 22 11:59:21 ok Oct 22 11:59:25 ah, sorry... I'd say patch it too ;) Oct 22 12:01:26 will do it, I think I know what I need to do now, but one last q: is there any rationale for the number in the name of the patch file? Oct 22 12:01:53 e.g should I be 90-pegasus.patch ? Oct 22 12:02:01 or 30-pegasus.patch ? Oct 22 12:03:13 away, but I'll capture an answer when I get back Oct 22 14:03:51 NAiL, koen, any suggestion for the number to start the patch with? I have no idea what those numbers mean Oct 22 14:04:10 the numbers are the sequence they should be applied Oct 22 14:04:24 putting it on 90- should probably be just fine ;) Oct 22 14:05:27 ok, thanks, will do the patch asap, but need to prepare for my trip now Oct 22 14:05:40 want to try it first to make sure it works. Oct 22 14:05:42 later... Oct 22 14:06:47 later Oct 22 14:12:03 on a business trip next week, leaving tomorrow early, back friday, will make the patch then, definitely need start packing now, see you all later Oct 22 14:12:23 later Oct 22 14:47:34 NAiL: you only need to bump ixp if the kernel version changes (excluding the PR, cause that's not used in the /lib/modules/ path). But as you say, better safe than sorry if you're not sure. Oct 22 14:48:05 ah, oke Oct 22 15:46:17 heh... this one was new: Oct 22 15:46:17 64 bytes from 192.168.1.55: icmp_seq=4 ttl=64 time=0.010 ms Oct 22 15:46:18 WARNING: kernel is not very fresh, upgrade is recommended. **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sun Oct 23 02:59:57 2005
