Jul 25 07:15:08 * xota saluda!
Jul 25 07:15:24 <PsyKro> salut ;)
Jul 25 07:31:13 <PsyKro> psokolovsky_, hi, i've seen yesterday that OE provides a solution to generate generic initramfs (and that u re the author), could you provide simple explanations on how to use the generated image ? I've looked at Alex's blog and followed the mini howto but during boot i have the following mesage: cannot open root device "loop" or unknown-block(2,0). I m trying to boot from CF.
Jul 25 09:07:22 <mimecar> morning
Jul 25 09:27:40 <psokolovsky_> PsyKro: you use generated image as any initramfs. there're lots of documentation on that, starting from official kernel docs.
Jul 25 09:31:59 <PsyKro> psokolovsky_, ok... Then, i ll continue to seek information ... at least is my params file correct ?
Jul 25 09:32:03 <PsyKro> set linuxargs "loglevel=8 initrd=/boot/initramfs-image-h3900.cpio.gz root=/dev/loop looproot=/dev/hda2:rootfs.ext2 console=ttyS00,115200"
Jul 25 09:32:03 <PsyKro> set kernel_filename boot/zimage
Jul 25 09:32:03 <PsyKro> set initrd_filename boot/initramfs-image-h3900.cpio.gz
Jul 25 09:32:03 <PsyKro> set rootfstype ext2
Jul 25 09:32:35 <koen> is an initrd with a different root valid?
Jul 25 09:35:37 <PsyKro> koen, sorry don't understand the question :s
Jul 25 09:37:04 <koen> isn't root supposed to be /dev/ram0 with an initrd?
Jul 25 09:37:20 <koen> (it's been a few years since I used an initrd, so things might have changed)
Jul 25 09:38:50 <PsyKro> koen, in fact i followed the article from http://hhtinker.blogspot.com/, where it explains how to use initramfs
Jul 25 09:39:04 <PsyKro> koen, generated by OE
Jul 25 09:40:05 <hrw> root=/dev/mapper/maluch80-rootfs ro vga=773 lapic pci=assign-busses nmi_watchdog=0 netconsole=6665@192.168.1.120/eth0,6666@192.168.1.10/00:18:39:36:D0:B2 loglevel=8
Jul 25 09:40:19 <hrw> koen: this is kernel cmdline of my laptop which boots with initrd
Jul 25 09:40:34 <koen> ok, so things have changed :)
Jul 25 09:41:34 <PsyKro> hrw, u think that my bootldr params file is correct ?
Jul 25 09:42:17 <hrw> PsyKro: never used bootldr
Jul 25 09:42:42 <PsyKro> hrw, ok :D
Jul 25 09:43:13 <PsyKro> hrw, at least the linuxargs ? it is the kernel cmdline
Jul 25 09:44:28 <_law_> XorA, hi did you build the libtool patch for glib-2.0 ?
Jul 25 09:46:35 <psokolovsky_> PsyKro_gone: apaprently no, not correct
Jul 25 09:46:48 <XorA> _law_: if I did, my brain is blank
Jul 25 09:47:13 <PsyKro_gone> psokolovsky_, why ? something i missed ?
Jul 25 09:47:42 <_law_> XorA, where is the $host_alias variable set?
Jul 25 09:47:53 * xota_ saluda!
Jul 25 09:47:55 <PsyKro_gone> psokolovsky_, i have to go (time to eat in France) may we discuss that later ?
Jul 25 09:48:12 <psokolovsky_> PsyKro_gone: I suggest reading docs
Jul 25 09:48:33 <XorA> _law_: ah, somewhere in configure
Jul 25 09:48:39 <PsyKro_gone> psokolovsky_, ok i will, that what i do since yesterday, but i will continue :/
Jul 25 09:49:23 <psokolovsky_> PsyKro_gone: it may take you some time, but in the end you will understand what you do for sure
Jul 25 12:50:28 <dcordes> hi
Jul 25 13:23:11 <dcordes> is SDHC possible with the zaurus sl-c**00 SD controller?
Jul 25 13:23:56 <XorA> yes
Jul 25 13:37:52 <psycoman> XorA: it is already in angstrom  ?
Jul 25 13:51:27 <fred_88> anybody can help to install anhgstrom on a collie
Jul 25 13:51:40 <fred_88> without the h
Jul 25 13:51:44 <fred_88> :)
Jul 25 13:51:48 <XorA> fred_88: dont unless you are a dev
Jul 25 13:52:47 <fred_88> ok  sorry for bother
Jul 25 13:53:04 <XorA> fred_88: its no where near the friendly stage
Jul 25 13:53:34 <fred_88> ah ... ok so perhaps  OZ 3.5.5 better
Jul 25 13:55:29 <XorA> fred_88: for now yes
Jul 25 13:56:45 <dni1> hi
Jul 25 13:57:06 <fred_88> I had 3.5.4 before tried ok thanks
Jul 25 13:57:22 <XorA> actually there 3.5.4 is latest
Jul 25 14:00:32 <antihaxer|deskto> XorA, have you any suggestions for fixing my WCF12 linksys cf card?
Jul 25 14:00:52 <XorA> antihaxer|deskto: no, its a wierd one
Jul 25 14:02:53 <antihaxer|deskto> Do you know of any other good wireless cards that are not expensive and work with the akita?
Jul 25 14:04:09 <XorA> no, cards are getting rare :-(
Jul 25 14:04:33 <XorA> any prism2/3 should work without probs
Jul 25 14:04:43 * XorA has 2x prism3 and 1x prism2
Jul 25 14:04:54 <antihaxer|deskto> Then why is this prism card not working well?
Jul 25 14:05:01 <antihaxer|deskto> Which cards do you have?
Jul 25 14:05:16 <XorA> wcf12 Planex, Sandisk Connect+
Jul 25 14:05:55 <antihaxer|deskto> So how do I know know if my card is the problem or the zaurus or the software?
Jul 25 14:06:57 * XorA thinks this might be an akita wierdness
Jul 25 14:07:06 <XorA> it has been reported before and always with akita
Jul 25 14:07:30 <antihaxer|deskto> Only with the wcf12?
Jul 25 14:07:44 <antihaxer|deskto> So the Sandisk Connect is a sd card?  Does it work well?
Jul 25 14:07:49 <XorA> antihaxer|deskto: no, another card, and also when people try and use pxafb
Jul 25 14:07:58 <XorA> no, Sandisk is CF
Jul 25 14:08:02 <XorA> and doesnt work very well
Jul 25 14:08:27 <antihaxer|deskto> SanDisk Connect 256 MB + WiFi SD Card
Jul 25 14:08:28 <antihaxer|deskto> ?
Jul 25 14:08:44 <XorA> Connect+ 128MB Wifi CF Card
Jul 25 14:09:22 <antihaxer|deskto> oo
Jul 25 14:09:35 <antihaxer|deskto> So it is a shitty card then?
Jul 25 14:10:06 <antihaxer|deskto> http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/I/117WKCY9S1L._AA125_.jpg you have that?
Jul 25 14:11:37 <PsyKro> at boot, i m stuck on a message "Freeing init memory: 104K" anyone know where it could come from?
Jul 25 14:12:19 <XorA> antihaxer|deskto: not that card
Jul 25 14:13:57 <antihaxer|deskto> http://www.aximsite.com/boards/windows-mobile-5/112770-white-screen-cf-card-wont-turn.html
Jul 25 14:14:32 <antihaxer|deskto> http://www.tyrannozaurus.com/files/oesfarchive/recent/index.php/t16831-100.html
Jul 25 14:40:43 <PsyKro> psokolovsky, excuse me, one question again :/, during the boot i m stuck at "Freeing init memory: 104K" where could that come from ? 
Jul 25 14:41:31 <XorA> PsyKro: that is last thing kernel does before loading init, so it indicates your / didnt mount
Jul 25 14:42:49 <psokolovsky> actually, if / didn't mount, it would say so. So, it mounted, but init wasn't run properly. Likely.
Jul 25 14:43:52 <PsyKro> psokolovsky, XorA, sure that init is not run since i do not see any of the echo msg from the init script
Jul 25 14:45:18 <PsyKro> psokolovsky, XorA, my kernel command line is therefore wrong, i think.
Jul 25 14:45:34 <psokolovsky> fix it
Jul 25 14:45:47 <PsyKro> ;)
Jul 25 14:46:30 <PsyKro> This error can't come from the fact that my initramfs is bad N
Jul 25 14:46:35 <PsyKro> ?
Jul 25 14:49:43 <psokolovsky> which error?
Jul 25 14:50:42 <PsyKro> not error but problem ;) (stuck at Freeing init memory)
Jul 25 14:52:37 <psokolovsky> it can be from many things in general. soon you'll notice that people don't posses telepathy skills here, and will start to provide all the relevant info for them to be able to say something else but common words ;-)
Jul 25 14:56:22 <PsyKro> It was just a yes/no question. Either it is possible, either it is not. I don't ask you to resolve my problem, coz i try to respect your work and not bother you too much.
Jul 25 14:57:10 <fred_88> about collie install .... I understood it is only for dev .... but is there a procedure to install on the web or is it the same as OZ ....thanks in advance
Jul 25 14:57:25 <XorA> PsyKro: as psokolovsky pointed out, normally the kernel bitches when it cant mount / or when it cant load /sbin/init
Jul 25 14:58:36 <psokolovsky> when can't mount... I'm not really sure what It does about init ;-I one can expect anything from linus guy ;-)
Jul 25 15:02:44 <PsyKro> Ok, thx for ur help. Oh and psokolovsky i noticed that when i bitbaked the initramfs image of OE, it complained that init.rd doesn't exist in "OpenEmbedded/build/tmp/angstrom/work/armv5te-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/initramfs-module-" i had to create it on my own
Jul 25 15:03:08 <psycoman> the SD driver in angstrom xx/07 already can read SDHC ?
Jul 25 15:04:08 <PsyKro> psokolovsky, to be able to bitbake the initramfs-image
Jul 25 15:34:13 <psokolovsky> PsyKro: please start reporting issues you found properly. for example, post to haret mailing list about 0.4.8/h3900 problem, etc.
Jul 25 15:42:17 <PsyKro> psokolovsky, ok, but u told me it was a known issue for Haret. For the initramfs i just encountered it.
Jul 25 15:43:32 <psokolovsky> well, known to me, i still can't find time to post about it ;-(
Jul 25 15:43:37 <psokolovsky> initramfs fixed
Jul 25 15:45:37 <CoreDump|home> hi
Jul 25 15:51:04 <PsyKro> psokolovsky, i ll post tomorrow for the Haret bug. I found also that Haret 0.4.7 doesn't work on my h3900 but works on my colleague's one. The os version is not the same on both ipaq i ll talk about that also.
Jul 25 17:19:25 <psycoman> exist a way to change the screen contrast in zaurus ? 
Jul 25 17:58:41 <mimecar> hi

Jul 25 21:47:58 <jcole-gpe> i thought it was to resize my mem
Jul 25 21:48:11 <psycoman> you can use a swap file
