**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Wed Nov 19 02:59:57 2008 Nov 19 03:50:27 argg Nov 19 15:11:20 hey guys for some reason the mtd tools i compiled in angstrom and put in initrd fail to run with a not found (even when I put the path /bin/nanddump) what could be happening? Nov 19 15:11:59 by 'guys' I take it you mean 'johnx' Nov 19 15:12:33 nice to see you too Tomoe :P Nov 19 15:12:33 no i mean anybody with some insight Nov 19 15:12:42 Tomoe, are you always like this? Nov 19 15:12:43 he was dropped as a child or something Nov 19 15:12:47 :D Nov 19 15:12:56 Tomoe, do you even own something that runs Angstrom? Nov 19 15:12:56 hey I'm just praising johnx, wtf Nov 19 15:13:01 i don't get it...compiled a kernel for the machine...works fine...compiled static busybox made an initrd...works fine...but MTD tools all respond not found Nov 19 15:13:05 even if i go to the directory and ./theexecutables Nov 19 15:13:06 and hi how are you doing johnx Nov 19 15:13:16 ls -l /bin/nanddump Nov 19 15:13:16 try that Nov 19 15:13:22 ls --color = green Nov 19 15:13:36 i did do an ls -l yesterday permissions seemed fine to me Nov 19 15:13:40 if you were looking for the executable status Nov 19 15:13:42 but when you try to run it it says not found Nov 19 15:13:46 yeah Nov 19 15:13:53 try running exec /bin/nanddump Nov 19 15:14:01 and be prepared to lose your shell Nov 19 15:14:02 lol will do Nov 19 15:15:46 johnx: no, I don't have anything running angstrom atm, it's just that #zaurus is completely dead so I came here to bother people =PP Nov 19 15:16:36 Tomoe, aaah, the truth comes out :D Nov 19 15:16:42 I always tell the truth Nov 19 15:16:42 huh...actually my zaurus isn't booted to angstrom either Nov 19 15:16:53 mine is Nov 19 15:17:01 that's why people dislike what I usually say actually =P Nov 19 15:17:01 it's running ubuntu (of all things!) right now Nov 19 15:17:02 hah@ubuntu Nov 19 15:17:35 LostInSpace, my thought is that your binary is linked against libc and you have uclibc on your initfs, OR your binary is eabi and your initfs is oabi Nov 19 15:17:53 initrd in this case Nov 19 15:18:13 that's weird busybox works fine...and why the crap would openembbed compile something eabi and something else oabi Nov 19 15:18:15 ??!?!?! Nov 19 15:19:30 just throwing ideas out here Nov 19 15:19:35 is busybox staticly linked? Nov 19 15:19:44 busybox-static was the only thing that would work in an initrd Nov 19 15:19:50 and which libc do you have on initrd? Nov 19 15:19:59 glibc or uclibc? Nov 19 15:20:12 should be glibc Nov 19 15:20:16 let me check Nov 19 15:21:50 hum i think that's the issue Nov 19 15:22:10 mind you that raises another question...the actual initfs created by angstrom...I can never get it to load...but I've gotten initrd to work fine any clue on that one? Nov 19 15:22:19 had to make initrd from scratch tho Nov 19 15:23:00 when I used to compile my own kernels I never used an initfs or initrd, so I'm actually not all that up-to-date on them Nov 19 15:23:16 kk Nov 19 15:23:50 kernel panic Nov 19 15:24:08 not syncing attempted to kill init! then flash_info: not found (tried flash_info) Nov 19 15:24:33 so far busybox static is the only thing (other then the kernel) that I have compiled and works....except for a few small things...helloworld style Nov 19 15:25:42 well, you could compile the mtd tools you need against uclibc and see if that works Nov 19 15:25:57 just change a setting in your local.conf Nov 19 15:26:05 now that I don't get Nov 19 15:26:23 shouldn OE compiled everything against my settings in local.conf? Nov 19 15:26:37 yes Nov 19 15:26:41 ah crap Nov 19 15:26:41 crap crap crap Nov 19 15:26:46 but your initrd is from somewhere else, right? Nov 19 15:26:53 and it has uclibc (or so we guess) Nov 19 15:27:06 and busybox is static so it doesn't count Nov 19 15:29:44 wait wait Nov 19 15:29:45 just noticed Nov 19 15:29:47 there was a freaking # Nov 19 15:29:48 infront of angstrom_mode Nov 19 15:29:48 ...... Nov 19 15:29:55 johnx, thanks for making me look there lol Nov 19 15:30:08 sure :) Nov 19 15:30:16 inadvertent epiphanies are our specialty Nov 19 15:30:44 i can't believe it hahaha Nov 19 15:30:55 that would explain alot of crap for that Nov 19 15:31:10 i guess i rebuild everything now Nov 19 15:31:13 good excuse to have a beer while you wait Nov 19 15:31:15 :D Nov 19 15:34:25 hum a beer at work Nov 19 15:34:25 not a good idea Nov 19 15:34:58 you've got a *long* compile to sit through Nov 19 15:35:52 also, you might want to kill your OE tmp folder at this point to make sure everything really gets rebuilt Nov 19 15:41:15 yup Nov 19 16:02:40 and away we go Nov 19 16:02:42 this is gonna be a long process haha! Nov 19 16:02:57 can't believe there was an # in front Nov 19 16:03:00 beer@work is always a good idea Nov 19 16:03:18 Tomoe, ....
