**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Fri Nov 25 03:03:52 2005 Nov 25 05:42:17 I'm trying to get a 2.6.14 kernel working with openslug. The tarball has one but although it builds and boots, there's no network, so presumably something's wrong with the ethernet driver Nov 25 05:42:48 and monotone is proving hard to install on Ubuntu hoary. Nov 25 05:48:07 trmsw: I've gotta go right now, but I can help you with getting monotone installed later tonight Nov 25 05:48:28 I'll probably be home around 5-6ish GMT Nov 25 05:49:07 * NAiL goes to the cinema to see Harry Potter :-P Nov 25 05:49:09 bbl Nov 25 05:50:04 enjoy Hairy Pothead Nov 25 06:42:11 hi to all Nov 25 06:42:24 does someone know when openslug 2.8 is due ? Nov 25 06:46:17 nobody ? Nov 25 07:23:58 * cheef-daniel I am offline, querys will be logged Nov 25 10:01:16 trmsw: did you read http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Development/MasterMakefile ? Nov 25 10:01:41 IIRC, the whole thing with ubuntu was enabling universe, and then just apt-get install it Nov 25 10:02:03 hi NAil Nov 25 10:02:09 I have it working on my box, no problems ;) Nov 25 10:02:41 the machine I'm using is hoary and the only boost packages seemed to be a version too old. BUT Nov 25 10:02:53 I got some others & the thing is grinding away Nov 25 10:03:14 cool Nov 25 10:03:20 * NAiL is going to lay down for a bit Nov 25 10:03:40 help one just question if you're not too exhausted by HarryP Nov 25 10:03:41 lay easy NAiL Nov 25 10:04:00 i meant just one last q Nov 25 10:04:05 trmsw: go ahead Nov 25 10:04:23 I'm still building a 2.6.12 kernel, right? Nov 25 10:04:27 no, it wasn't pothead that exhausted me. I'm just a bit too sick. Nov 25 10:04:29 hmm Nov 25 10:04:35 no, you shouldn't be Nov 25 10:04:52 cool. get well Nov 25 10:05:14 2 sec, and I'll check which kernel is built currently Nov 25 10:05:40 2.6.14.2 apparently Nov 25 10:06:11 bbl Nov 25 10:06:37 à + Nov 25 13:23:45 'lo all. Just built and uploaded openslug using the master makefile, and the leds look happy but the thing doesn't seem to be on the network Nov 25 13:58:24 there seems to be some delay on first boot (at least) before the DHCP stuff completes Nov 25 13:58:54 but that may just be 2.6.15-rc2 (the default kernel is 2.6.14.2) Nov 25 14:00:25 ah. I assumed it would be like the binary openslug, and keep its ip address (in my case 192.168.1.77) Nov 25 14:00:46 maybe I'll run a DHCP server for it. Nov 25 14:03:19 ACTION  Nov 25 14:07:55 trmsw: it will do that, but it tries DHCP first, so if the DHCP startup is going slower the static IP startup will be slower too. Nov 25 14:08:54 i don't think it is: tcpdump isn't showing anything. One more try... Nov 25 14:12:56 nada Nov 25 14:14:42 maybe the ethernet module is fscked - perhaps the intel stuff I downloaded is too new - version 2.1 Nov 25 14:15:09 That's the one I've been using Nov 25 14:16:13 humph. I've not done anything clever, just make build-openslug-image Nov 25 14:16:38 Debugging it without serial means having a working version with the current kernel (2.6.14.2) in flash and putting the new modules on the HD, so that you can see the log messages after the failure. Nov 25 14:17:52 the only version I know will work is 2.6.12, the openslug binary image Nov 25 14:17:59 Debugging from a non-working system means hacking the rootfs so that the bootstrap actually writes the log somewhere else - I've never done that, but in principle it is possible (e.g. write to USB drive). Nov 25 14:19:18 ... I recommend waiting until we've debugged the new (2.1) CSR some more, so far as I know I'm the only person who has had it work consistently. Nov 25 14:19:44 maybe I could try the earlier Intel stuff Nov 25 14:21:50 It's probably easier to build with kernel 2.6.12.2 and the monotone head, monotone head and 2.1 CSR still means you can't boot from OpenSlug 2.7. Nov 25 14:22:01 s/2.1/2.0/ Nov 25 14:23:29 shame the 2.6.14 kernel in the tarball didn't work Nov 25 14:25:44 it was already a bit of a gamble, that the_driver_that_depends_on_2.6.14 would actually work Nov 25 14:26:39 it's a driver for Ralink 2570 USB wifi cards. The one I use on the PC has problems with big endian ness Nov 25 14:27:02 thanks for all your help though Nov 25 20:09:57 ACTION  **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sat Nov 26 02:59:57 2005
