**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Fri Dec 30 03:00:01 2005 Dec 30 15:12:12 hi :( Dec 30 15:12:53 anybody here who managed to get a vanilla-2.6.14.3 bootin on the slug? Dec 30 15:13:54 i crosscompiled it and so on.. copied the modules, then i brought the slug into upgrade-mode Dec 30 15:14:09 RammY: we're using 2.6.15-rc7 on the slug at the moment, but have used 2.6.14 in the past Dec 30 15:14:29 the required patches are in the monotone repository Dec 30 15:14:44 and did an "upslug --target=bla --kernel=/usr/src/linux/arch/arm/boot/zImage" Dec 30 15:15:12 was that right, what i did? Dec 30 15:15:18 upslug2 i ment Dec 30 15:15:51 my problem is that the slug doesnt come up again. the ready/status-led keeps amber Dec 30 15:17:18 rwhitby: do you have a working config with everything for booting inside so that i dont neet a ramdisk? Dec 30 15:19:46 RammY: we don't use a ramdisk for openslug, we use jffs2. Dec 30 15:21:02 hmm :( Dec 30 15:21:06 RammY: www.openslug.org is our image distribution site Dec 30 15:21:17 do you specifically need 2.6.14.3 ? Dec 30 15:21:25 yep, im using it already ;) Dec 30 15:21:49 but at the moment im trying to get gentoo runnning on it Dec 30 15:22:07 appended a hdd in a usb-case. its recogniced as sda1 Dec 30 15:22:22 i said the kernel to use /dev/sda1 as rootfs Dec 30 15:22:27 it is ext3 Dec 30 15:22:43 well, you could use OpenSlug and then install gentoo in a chroot on the hard disk, and then turnup disk to gentoo in the same way that we currently do for Debian ... Dec 30 15:22:43 but now im frozen.. dunno what to do now Dec 30 15:23:21 rwhitby: im using openslug for exactly this already... (without the turnup disc) Dec 30 15:23:28 the jffs2 rootfs boots, and then immediately pivot_roots to the disk. Dec 30 15:23:51 i even compiled some apps (udev etc) already in my chrootet gentoo-root Dec 30 15:24:26 hmm there is no way to get the kernel using my sda1 directly? Dec 30 15:24:28 there should Dec 30 15:25:36 this is what i set in my kernelconfig: Dec 30 15:26:00 CONFIG_CMDLINE="console=ttyS0,115200,8n root=/dev/sda1 rootfstype=ext2 rootdelay=15 noirqdebug mem=32M@0x00000000 reboot=s x1205.hctosys=1" Dec 30 15:29:14 that should work ... Dec 30 15:31:15 :( Dec 30 15:32:23 do i have to prepare the kernelimage in in some way? Dec 30 15:33:10 have you got serial? Dec 30 15:33:36 did you prepend the machine id setting code? Dec 30 15:33:54 would be so nice to have a serialport.. but i havent got one :( Dec 30 15:34:14 you're gonna have fun porting without serial :-) Dec 30 15:34:36 and you need the machine id setting code to set up the right machine id for the kernel, cause redboot just reports ixdp425 Dec 30 15:35:43 i patched it with the following patches: http://chilla.biz/projekte/gentoo-slug/files/nslu2-patches-2.6.14.3.tar.bz2 Dec 30 15:37:53 these are about 20 patches, i think, they are from openslug Dec 30 15:38:44 erm.. the kernel wont recognice a usb2serialport for a console, wont it? Dec 30 15:39:41 RammY: The kernel needs to be pretty far along to have USB access Dec 30 15:39:51 yep Dec 30 15:40:20 because i have a pl2303 converter.. but not a native serialport Dec 30 15:40:26 ehh.. better box here Dec 30 15:45:48 RammY: you need other stuff from the monotone repository which runs devio to prepend assembly code to the vmlinuz Dec 30 15:48:21 back later Dec 31 02:12:32 is it posssible to get the zImage out of the openslug-2.7.bin? Dec 31 02:52:40 RammY: yes, use slugtool Dec 31 02:56:57 okay, ill try it Dec 31 02:58:23 just to mention: i wrote a (yet unfinished) howto, "gentoo on nslu2" into the gentoo-forum: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-2987624.html Dec 31 02:58:49 Thanks to you all - im using openslug for the initial installationnsystem :) Dec 31 02:59:28 (even if i havent successfully booted the kernel till yet.. :( ) **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sat Dec 31 03:00:44 2005
