**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Wed Jun 07 02:59:57 2006 Jun 07 04:54:41 Where are all the people who were waiting for the 3.8 binary release? Jun 07 12:31:52 openslug beta built succesfully. THat's a good start. Jun 07 12:41:28 VoodooZ: checked www.slug-firmware.net lately ;-) Jun 07 12:41:53 yep! NAiL told me the good news yesterday. That's what I just finished building. Jun 07 12:43:55 cool. See if you can work out why we are getting the following two errors: http://trac.nslu2-linux.org/slugos/report/2 Jun 07 12:44:15 I haven't touched my robot since April so I have to re-learn everything Jun 07 12:44:26 yeah. I had a quick look yesterday. Jun 07 12:44:47 I'll have to customize everything again. I'll try to import my oldl roboslug distro. Jun 07 13:38:49 I've just started using openslug Jun 07 13:38:52 using 2.7 Jun 07 13:39:11 had some issues whereby occasionally, on reboot, the box would start from the flash and not the local disk Jun 07 13:39:26 putting a sleep in the linuxrc helped Jun 07 13:39:31 Jun 07 13:41:37 yeah, I think I had the same problem even with 3.1. It would refuse to boot from memstick. I also believe it's a timing/race issue with the flash modules Jun 07 13:41:56 you might want to try the freshly released 3.8 beta though. It has some new fixes in for that. Jun 07 14:02:44 i'm not too worried Jun 07 14:02:59 it's up and working, so all is good Jun 07 14:03:05 just now arguing with lvm Jun 07 14:11:30 lvm on the slug. nice. good luck with that. Jun 07 14:57:52 VoodooZ: I had it working - just need to get the startup scripts sorted Jun 07 14:58:24 when I have more time, I'll write a howto for the wiki Jun 07 14:58:55 good. thanks Jun 07 15:00:03 has anybody tried to get an initrd image working on the slug's? Jun 07 15:00:26 in order to say boot off a md partition Jun 07 15:09:35 That'll take a fair bit of work Jun 07 15:09:41 IIRC, someone has done it Jun 07 15:09:56 (the debian-install image might do this) Jun 07 15:12:52 I haven't taken the time to build a build environment yet Jun 07 15:13:07 but I might fiddle with this sometime Jun 07 15:13:23 for now, I'm happy with dd'ing the partition to a spare disk, since it changes to infrequently Jun 07 20:08:50 hi anyone an idea what can be wrong if suddenly upon booting I get ehci_hcd not found (and also ohci_hcd, sd_mod and usb_storage) which eventually causes that it cant read /etc/mtab then causing a panic Jun 07 20:10:19 and if i boot w/o hd it boots fine (and /etc/mtab exists on the hd) Jun 07 20:57:32 hi rwhitby Jun 07 20:57:41 hi Jun 07 20:57:44 bbiab Jun 07 20:57:55 ok Jun 07 21:05:09 ok, calling it a day, it is 2320 here and tomorrow is just a regular working dayn Jun 07 21:05:23 managed to compile an image with gcc 4.1.1 Jun 07 21:05:53 haven't been able to test it yet, somehow i managed to nuke my existing firmware Jun 07 21:06:03 too late to fix that now Jun 07 21:06:37 if anyone feels like trying: go ahead, all the changes needed for 4.1.1 are checked in apart from changing the preferred version in slugos.conf Jun 07 21:06:57 will try to test my work tomorrow and report back Jun 07 21:07:01 cool :-D Jun 07 21:07:01 nite Jun 07 21:07:05 yes Jun 07 21:07:36 actually even without anything connected my slug gets into request-module runaway loop modprobe 0 or something like that Jun 07 21:07:52 heh Jun 07 21:07:53 odd Jun 07 21:07:58 note that this is still with the old firmware, i must have destroyed something in the rootfs, but no idea what Jun 07 21:08:08 hmm Jun 07 21:08:14 actually, it sounds like it's trying to load a fs module Jun 07 21:08:29 at first it was only booting from flash not from hard disk (not even loading ixp400 when booting from hard disk) Jun 07 21:08:37 oh Jun 07 21:08:57 then copied all of bin sbin /usr/bin /usr/sbin /usr/lib/ and /lib from flash to hd and now it won't boot from flash any more Jun 07 21:09:14 didn't think copying to hd would have such bad effects, Jun 07 21:09:34 need to reflash but that means running an additional wire or two. it is too late for that Jun 07 21:09:53 you didn't mix up "cp" and "mv", did you? ;) eFfeM Jun 07 21:09:54 if i start doing that it'll be 2am before i know Jun 07 21:10:41 EvilDevil: not that I am aware of, andyway, I'll just reflash and turnup again (probably using -f ) Jun 07 21:10:42 eFfeM: .. heh Jun 07 21:10:54 been there way too often.... Jun 07 21:11:00 eFfeM: Are you *very* sure that you haven't mixed up LE and BE binaries now? :-P Jun 07 21:11:30 that's where I got the runaway probe earlier Jun 07 21:11:49 nope, i am on openslug and everything is be. Note that I did not even installed any 4.1.1 prog on my flash Jun 07 21:12:04 I'll sort it out and let you guys know. Jun 07 21:12:11 there is no way to get into the system anyway Jun 07 21:12:18 * eFfeM is glad that he now has serial Jun 07 21:12:27 otherwise I would never have found this Jun 07 21:12:29 you always have RedBoot :-P Jun 07 21:12:33 ah, yeah Jun 07 21:12:36 for diag Jun 07 21:12:40 yes, but then you can't diag Jun 07 21:12:41 indeed Jun 07 21:13:12 actually for some reason my cable will not allow me to log in, no input function, but it does output Jun 07 21:14:07 the odd thing is that I also tried with koen's cable and had the same problem but then my cable also did not work for input on his slug (and I think his one also didn't allow logging in) Jun 07 21:14:37 output is sufficient for diag, logging in is only useful if ixp400 does not get up, otherwise there is always ssh Jun 07 21:15:28 not always Jun 07 21:15:39 currently, my slug gets network up but hangs before ssh(!) Jun 07 21:17:08 oh, that is odd, i've only seen this happen if there is some lousy code in init.d Jun 07 21:17:27 then booting w/o hd always resolves the issue (unless of course you screwed up the flash) Jun 07 21:17:29 exactly ;) Jun 07 21:18:08 anyway, still a few challenges left (although the weather is finally improving so less incentive to sit behind the compu) Jun 07 21:18:32 i'll keep you guys posted, now i'm really calling it a day ... Jun 07 21:18:33 nite all Jun 07 21:22:59 anyone good with I2C on the slug here? Jun 07 21:26:24 rwhitby: Are you poking around with the server now? I'm getting 500 Internal server error Jun 07 21:26:30 geh **** ENDING LOGGING AT Thu Jun 08 02:59:56 2006
