**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Tue Feb 13 03:00:01 2007 Feb 13 03:16:09 yep **** BEGIN LOGGING AT Tue Feb 13 04:20:15 2007 Feb 13 08:08:29 hi Feb 13 08:34:30 hi saladino Feb 13 13:13:52 rwhitby: So none of your angstrom experiments are checked in right? Feb 13 13:21:31 Hi everyone, i want to connect my usb-p1k to my slug, i've got unslung installed and i did everything described on the wiki's, it doesn't work, so my last hope are you guys Feb 13 13:25:17 is there anyone who can help? Feb 13 13:34:44 gtg, although, thank you:) Feb 13 18:58:22 does the new open NPE stuff require a kernel module? Feb 13 19:14:14 ok, my boot log says: Jan 1 00:00:21 (none) user.warn kernel: npe: searching for firmware... Feb 13 19:14:59 So does it expect to find it under an MTD partition and/or file? Feb 13 19:17:46 in my build from 24. january there is a script in udev that loads the microcode for npe from a MTD partition to a special device in /dev/ Feb 13 19:36:06 Sinclair73de: ok. It seems the kernel-module are static and loading at least but ifup eth0 fails Feb 13 19:36:23 with: eth0: NPE-B not running Feb 13 19:40:47 do u have serial access? Feb 13 20:08:49 Sinclair73de: yep. Feb 13 20:09:08 I did find out that you manually have to: cat /lib/firmware/NPE-B > /dev/ixp4xx_ucode Feb 13 20:10:17 but I still can't get my USB flash disk to be recognised in time for turnup to work. Even with a delay of 20 seconds (-s10) Feb 13 20:18:59 bbl Feb 13 20:20:38 yes...i do "cat" too Feb 13 20:36:56 VoodooZ: you can built DISTRO=angstrom... MACHINE=nslu2le Feb 13 20:37:49 VoodooZ: the latest images have the ethernet driver compiled into the kernel Feb 13 20:38:05 and they load the microcode from a payload area in the flash automatically by the kernel at boot Feb 13 20:38:25 no script or udev required Feb 13 21:26:05 hi Feb 13 21:26:25 hi saladino Feb 13 21:26:37 hi rwhitby Feb 13 21:26:47 saladino: I'll be back in about 1 hour if you want to continue discussion of ucslugc Feb 13 21:26:54 (need to get to work right now) Feb 13 21:26:57 rwhitby ok Feb 13 21:27:05 can i send you an email later about that? Feb 13 21:27:18 any time - will you still be here in 1hr? Feb 13 21:27:24 i dont think so Feb 13 21:27:26 very late here Feb 13 21:27:31 i've to work tomorrow Feb 13 21:27:31 :( Feb 13 21:27:35 ok Feb 13 21:27:52 I'll try a ucslugc build today to make sure the Makefiles work properly Feb 13 21:28:14 ok Feb 13 21:28:18 thats great Feb 13 21:29:34 in my last mastermakefile update the "make ucslugc-image" failed due to bitbake Feb 13 21:29:45 ucslugc-package failed later in compilation Feb 13 21:29:48 im wit it Feb 13 21:30:19 add IMAGE_TARGET=slugos-image to auto.conf Feb 13 21:30:40 (just like DISTRO_TARGET_ Feb 13 21:31:28 ok thanks Feb 13 21:44:35 rwhitby: latest slugos image or angstrom? (that takes care of npe loading) Feb 13 21:44:59 both - they use the same kernel Feb 13 21:44:59 I'll rebuild to make sure I've got the latest. Feb 13 21:45:03 cool. Feb 13 21:45:11 it's been like that for at least a month Feb 13 21:45:24 2.6.19, 2.6.20 both have it from the start Feb 13 21:45:35 ok, what would you say angstrom is missing as of now though? Feb 13 21:45:46 pivot to external rootfs Feb 13 21:45:56 CoreDump|afk is going to do that for us ;-) Feb 13 21:46:05 like the turnup functionalitly you mean? Feb 13 21:46:09 yes Feb 13 21:46:12 ~praise CoreDump|afk Feb 13 21:46:13 All hail CoreDump|afk! Feb 13 21:46:23 no turnup on angstrom - will be replaced by altboot Feb 13 21:46:46 ok, I'll wait a bit longer then as I need to run from flash disk so... Feb 13 21:46:46 VoodooZ: don't forget angstrom is LE only Feb 13 21:47:15 yeah, I was going to ask what that entails? where does that become a problem? Feb 13 21:47:52 NPE works in LE...as for my custom drivers I'll have to see.... Feb 13 21:48:12 only if you need BE for some nonstandard driver, or you need absolute network performance. Feb 13 21:48:22 NPE is fine either way now. Feb 13 21:59:55 must go Feb 13 22:00:01 bye Feb 13 22:08:03 rwhitby: sounds great! Thanks for the great work! I'll definitely give both a try. Feb 13 22:09:45 rwhitby: quick question: how do you setup for an angstrom build? I know you need to set distro & machine but where? Feb 13 22:16:21 never know where i must change the config in mastermake to build an additional kernel module, i think KSRC/.config is wrong, because overritten when make Feb 13 22:16:27 anybody knows? Feb 13 22:20:14 I used to modify a local.conf but I'm unsure if that is still in effect. I'll ask in #oe later. Feb 13 22:20:19 But let me know if you find out... Feb 13 22:24:24 thanks! i do... Feb 13 22:52:14 rwhitby: do we still use local.conf for setting up machine/distro with angstrom? Feb 13 22:52:35 "make angstrom" should do it. Feb 13 22:52:43 nice. Feb 13 22:52:49 thanks Feb 13 23:03:08 * CoreDump|home just got his slug. The linksys firmware is.....interesting Feb 13 23:09:27 CoreDump|home: :-D think of it as "overflowing with unrealized potential" Feb 13 23:09:39 hehe Feb 13 23:10:13 I've encountered one show-stopper bug in less than 5 minutes using it *roll-eyes* Feb 13 23:10:34 Which one might that be? Feb 13 23:11:23 If I try to get the IP for the slug by DHCP, it requests an IP from the DHCP server, then just "vanishes" off the net for good Feb 13 23:11:56 Nice trick for a device without a console. Feb 13 23:12:05 and now it's "formatting" my new HDD since 5+ minutes =) Man, I love OpenSource =D Feb 13 23:12:25 How big is the HDD? Feb 13 23:12:31 200G Feb 13 23:12:42 (and do you really want to be running the native firmware?) Feb 13 23:13:13 mwester: of course not. Not at all actaully. I intend to use it until I get my OE build env back up ;) Feb 13 23:14:46 Ok. I was gonna see if I could rope you into testing Unslung at some point, if you were interested in the native firmware at all... Feb 13 23:15:37 mwester: time will tell. I have just begung playing w/ it Feb 14 00:06:35 Yuk. Just built the new slugosbe and tried to build package mplayer. "The architecture of your CPU (armeb) is not supported by this configure script. It seems nobody has ported MPlayer to yoru OS or CPU type yet." ? Feb 14 00:10:00 that happens a lot. Feb 14 00:10:08 you might have more luck with slugosle Feb 14 00:10:37 (since a lot of packages have at least been ported to Debian arm) Feb 14 00:21:54 rwhitby: Gotcha boss. I'll try the flip side. :) Feb 14 00:42:00 rwhitby: Yea, it builds under slugosle. Thanks. Feb 14 01:28:21 Hi guys, need your help again: building OpenSlug 3.10 on a clean debian-etch environment. I keep getting stuck at ERROR: function do_rootfs failed. Feb 14 01:28:48 The log files seem to indicate that it is trying to write to /usr/lib/ipkg Feb 14 01:29:11 I'm logged in as a normal user, so why is it trying to write to /usr/lib/ipkg Feb 14 01:30:10 Seems to be failing at: Feb 14 01:30:10 ipkg: Cannot create directory `/usr/lib/ipkg': Permission denied Feb 14 01:38:49 ptan: look further down for the real error Feb 14 01:39:00 that one is expected and should not stop the build Feb 14 01:40:24 after that error, I get Feb 14 01:40:24 Nothing to be done Feb 14 01:40:24 An error ocurred, return value: 4. Feb 14 01:40:24 Collected errors: Feb 14 01:40:24 Cannot find package kernel. Feb 14 01:40:25 Check the spelling or perhaps run 'ipkg update' Feb 14 01:40:41 and a whole bunch of Cannopt find package xxx Feb 14 01:40:43 errors Feb 14 01:41:30 There's an earlier error on tar: Feb 14 01:41:31 tar: Pattern matching characters used in file names. Please, Feb 14 01:41:31 tar: use --wildcards to enable pattern matching, or --no-wildcards to Feb 14 01:41:31 tar: suppress this warning. Feb 14 01:41:31 tar: *control: Not found in archive Feb 14 01:41:31 tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors Feb 14 01:53:07 dunno - never seen that one Feb 14 01:56:50 I'll dig some more and see what I can find. **** ENDING LOGGING AT Wed Feb 14 02:59:57 2007
