Apr 26 15:28:55 <yann> damnit, I hit a bug in bootldr
Apr 26 15:29:16 <yann> copypasted a number of times - I wonder how it has not surfaced before :(
Apr 26 15:36:19 <dcordes> yann: what you mean copy pasted?
Apr 26 15:37:20 <yann> unintialized string buffer allocated in stack, in most subcommands of "boot"
Apr 26 15:38:23 <yann> I started to get it with "boot addr", but exists in most other subcommands, because they were created by copy/paste
Apr 26 15:38:54 <yann> and you know what ?  the bug was plugged in "boot jffs2", which is the most commonly used...
Apr 26 15:39:16 <yann> if anyone still doubted that copypaste coding was to avoid...
Apr 26 15:40:51 <yann> looks like when I could boot finally to a shell, the ram where the stack is located got suddenly overwritten with non-zeros ...
Apr 26 15:41:00 <yann> hm, wait...
Apr 26 15:42:33 <yann> I have run "boot jffs2" once, that should fixup the uninitialized stuff :)
Apr 26 15:43:03 <yann> even if it works, it's a bit inconvenient :)
Apr 26 15:45:15 <yann> hey, that even works :)
Apr 26 16:45:08 <yann> btw, how do you call mount(8) for a jffs2 partition without using /dev/mtdblock ?  I can't seem to find the info..
Apr 26 16:47:08 <yann> dcordes^^
Apr 26 16:49:18 <yann> damned - the problem is probably the busybox mount, documented as not accepting "mtdX"
Apr 26 16:58:04 <yann> hm, looks like it supports the "mtd:NAME" syntax after all, but it does not find partition "root"
Apr 26 16:58:19 <yann> and incidently, /proc/mtd is empty
Apr 26 16:58:33 <yann> dcordes: is /proc/mtd empty on your devices as well ?
Apr 26 17:03:42 <dcordes> yann: sorry wasn't there
Apr 26 17:03:56 <dcordes> no idea it works automagic here
Apr 26 17:04:29 <dcordes> I had to make /etc/mtab in order to mount stuffs inside my initrd
Apr 26 17:04:29 <yann> I suspect that problem to be the reason of my boot failure :)
Apr 26 17:05:01 <yann> dcordes: what does your /proc/mtd says ?
Apr 26 17:05:14 <dcordes> not in an image now
Apr 26 17:05:20 <dcordes> am experimenting with x11
Apr 26 17:05:45 <yann> ah
Apr 26 17:07:14 <dcordes> damn htckaiser has problems with big ramdisks
Apr 26 17:07:21 <dcordes> it dies every second time when you try to boot
Apr 26 17:13:05 <yann> damnit - the h3900 kernel seems not to include ipaq-flash!
Apr 26 17:15:07 <yann> ... it depends on MTD_CFI, not set, so does not even appear in .config
Apr 26 17:16:53 <yann> what's funny is that if has MTD_CFI_I1 and _I2 set :)
Apr 26 18:26:06 <yann> damned,  ipaq-flash.c does not compile for pxa machines...
Apr 26 20:46:45 <mimecar> hi
Apr 26 22:00:14 <yann> dcordes_: yipee, I have angstrom running :)
Apr 26 22:01:35 <yann> hm, I remember seeing somewhere that pm was non-functional, and that unfortunately seems true...
Apr 27 01:52:12 <dcordes_> yann: hola
Apr 27 01:52:18 <dcordes_> congrats
