**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Nov 05 02:59:56 2009 Nov 05 04:31:06 Does anyone know what boards are going to be supported by Lucid? Nov 05 06:17:16 hi, here's a question about initramfs: I did see the following scripts in /init which deals with root=/dev/nfs and export BOOT=nfs. Why I still need modify /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf to change BOOT from local to nfs? Nov 05 06:18:04 I tried NOT to modify BOOT from local to nfs. The result is the export BOOT=nfs script in /init do NOT work. Nov 05 06:18:42 I still saw BOOT=local by command "env", even if I pass "root=/dev/nfs" in bootargs in uboot. Nov 05 06:19:47 PS: I'm using default Karmic release Nov 05 06:19:50 linux-image-2.6.31-208-dove_2.6.31-208.16_armel.deb Nov 05 06:21:34 Is it necessary to create another special uInitrd.nfs for nfs boot? Nov 05 06:21:45 thanks Nov 05 06:24:48 Sorry, I double checked the /init script and found I missed the following condition Nov 05 06:24:51 /dev/nfs) Nov 05 06:24:51 [ -z "${BOOT}" ] && BOOT=nfs Nov 05 06:25:24 it would NOT export BOOT=nfs if BOOT has another value already (local here). Nov 05 06:26:02 eggonlea: You could try passing boot=nfs on the kernel cmdline Nov 05 06:26:21 Oh /dev/nfs probably does the trick yes Nov 05 06:26:30 let me try Nov 05 06:26:44 could we just remove this "[ -z "${BOOT}" ]" in /init? Nov 05 06:29:35 well, boot=nfs in cmdline works. Nov 05 06:30:34 we have so many args here: netboot, boot, nfsroot=/dev/nfs, BOOT_in_initramfs.conf. Nov 05 06:31:06 Have to go through the whole /init script to understand the priority. :( Nov 05 06:32:32 anyway, boot_in_cmdline > BOOT_in_initramfs.conf > nfsroot=/dev/nfs_in_cmdline. Thanks! Nov 05 06:48:52 Cool Nov 05 08:16:00 am not getting GUI for ubuntu on dvi... anybody help... Nov 05 08:16:10 check /var/log/Xorg.0.log Nov 05 08:18:16 but am getting console version on dvi Nov 05 08:31:27 which image i should get for GUI? Nov 05 08:37:03 just log in and install xfce or whatever gui you want Nov 05 08:43:56 jean85_: You could try installing xubuntu-desktop Nov 05 08:44:27 but maybe even that is too memory-hungry for the ram you have on a beagle Nov 05 08:44:49 as I said, I've never hooked up a monitor to my beagles Nov 05 11:45:56 I have compiled a kernel for my board, How to I generate the folders for it such that I can insert into my rootfs /lib/modules/2.6..... Nov 05 12:10:33 Try make INSTALL_MOD_PATH=$PWD/modules-tmp modules_install Nov 05 12:11:19 This should build a suitable lib/modules tree in the scratch directory modules-tmp. Nov 05 12:27:09 dmart: Cheers, I'll try that Nov 05 12:36:47 dmart: Thank worked great cheers, I'm looking to do something similar for creating the linux-headers do you know a similar command? Nov 05 12:38:29 Can't help you there I'm afraid... I'm guessing that simply copying linux/include may not work well enough. You could maybe examine debian/rules for the Ubuntu kernel source packages and see how the kernel-headers-* packages are generated. Nov 05 12:40:07 Unless you want to rebuild glibc or other low level components, you may get away with not having the correct kernel headers in your fs though. Nov 05 12:45:52 Yeah I don't need them at the minute because I compiled a newer kernel than came with the board for some hardware only supported later, before I was trying to compile the kernel module for the old (2.6.21) kernel but was stuggling with getting the correct kernel headers **** ENDING LOGGING AT Thu Nov 05 22:35:36 2009 **** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Nov 05 22:46:16 2009 **** ENDING LOGGING AT Fri Nov 06 02:59:57 2009
