Jun 23 09:30:18 <hooney> hi to all guys
Jun 23 09:30:40 <koen> hey hooney 
Jun 23 09:30:40 <hooney> i have a question about a problem with the new openslug 3.10 relese
Jun 23 09:31:25 <hooney> i see that i am no longer to control the watchdog as with 2.7
Jun 23 09:31:55 <hooney> in 2.7 i created the device with:    mknod /dev/watchdog c 10 130
Jun 23 09:32:17 <hooney> and then i control the wd simply wrting something on the dev
Jun 23 09:32:26 <hooney> now with 3.10
Jun 23 09:32:32 <hooney> i create the device
Jun 23 09:32:51 <hooney> but when mu code attempts to write on it i get the error:
Jun 23 09:33:37 <koen> iirc udev should create the watchdog automagically now
Jun 23 09:33:41 <hooney> i get the error on the open of the device
Jun 23 09:33:47 <hooney> ah
Jun 23 09:33:59 <hooney> and which dev is associated with it now ?
Jun 23 09:37:18 <hooney> any idea ?
Jun 23 09:44:34 <hooney> does someone knows how to work with watchdog with 3.10 openslug ? the 2.7 way do not work anymore...
Jun 23 09:45:52 <rwhitby> hooney: no idea - there was no intentional change
Jun 23 09:46:09 <rwhitby> perhaps it's a kernel regression in 2.6.16?
Jun 23 09:46:25 <rwhitby> can you check in the kernel defconfig to make sure the correct things are enabled?
Jun 23 09:46:25 <hooney> i suppose it is related with udev...
Jun 23 09:46:44 <hooney> how can i do it ? simply run defconfig ?
Jun 23 09:51:14 <rwhitby> http://trac.nslu2-linux.org/slugos/browser/releases/slugos-3.10-beta/openembedded/packages/linux/ixp4xx-kernel/2.6.16/defconfig
Jun 23 09:52:11 <hooney> i see that something seems disabled
Jun 23 09:53:53 <hooney> there is a simple way to buid a new kernel with these changes ?
Jun 23 09:54:10 <rwhitby> what is disabled?
Jun 23 09:54:22 <rwhitby> CONFIG_IXP4XX_WATCHDOG=m <- have you installed the module?
Jun 23 09:54:38 <hooney> CONFIG_WATCHDOG=y
Jun 23 09:54:48 <hooney> i cant find tht module !
Jun 23 09:54:58 <rwhitby> where are you looking?
Jun 23 09:55:21 <hooney> something with *watchdog*
Jun 23 09:55:22 <hooney> :)
Jun 23 09:55:39 <rwhitby> where?
Jun 23 09:55:45 <rwhitby> url?
Jun 23 09:55:50 <hooney> http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/openslug/cross/3.10-beta/
Jun 23 09:56:26 <rwhitby> http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/slugos-lag/cross/3.10-beta/kernel-module-ixp4xx-wdt_2.6.16-r6.4_ixp4xxle.ipk
Jun 23 09:56:30 <rwhitby> that'd be my guess
Jun 23 09:56:55 <rwhitby> oh, slugos-bag for openslug
Jun 23 09:57:20 <rwhitby> http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/slugos-bag/cross/3.10-beta/kernel-module-ixp4xx-wdt_2.6.16-r6.4_ixp4xxbe.ipk
Jun 23 09:57:55 <koen> 'ipkg search watchdog'
Jun 23 09:58:15 <hooney> cool
Jun 23 09:58:17 <hooney> i try
Jun 23 10:00:50 <hooney> ok, installed it
Jun 23 10:01:26 <hooney> but now how can i manage it ?
Jun 23 10:01:42 <koen> modprobe ipx4xx-wdt ?
Jun 23 10:01:47 <hooney> uhmm
Jun 23 10:02:23 <hooney> not found
Jun 23 10:03:59 <hooney> where is the module stored ?
Jun 23 10:04:41 <hooney> found
Jun 23 10:04:55 <hooney> now /dev/watchdog is created :)
Jun 23 10:06:08 <hooney> is there a way to automaically load the module at startup (beaside a script in init.d) ?
Jun 23 10:08:07 <koen> echo <modulename> > /etc/modules/<modulename> ; update-modules
Jun 23 10:08:10 <koen> (iirc)
Jun 23 10:09:23 <hooney> wth <modulename> the full path ?
Jun 23 10:09:50 <koen> no, the name you use in modprobe
Jun 23 10:11:27 <hooney> thanks !
Jun 23 10:12:52 <hooney> but there is already a file named modules in /etc
Jun 23 10:13:01 <hooney> sure of /etc/modules/<modulename> ?
Jun 23 10:17:00 <hooney> koen: are you there yet ?
Jun 23 19:16:18 <Harvy> hi
