**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Tue Dec 02 02:59:57 2008 Dec 02 14:08:09 anyone here looking for a Zaurus SL-C3100? Dec 02 14:10:35 nope, is there still development for/on de sl-6000w btw? Dec 02 14:11:00 s/nope/nafaik/ :) Dec 02 16:21:24 hi, newbie here, can anyone help me with a WiFi/IPAQ problem please? Dec 02 16:37:16 anybody there? Dec 02 16:37:26 Can you guys see this or am I typing to myself? Dec 02 17:11:43 modprobing the h5400-wifi kernel module on IPAQ fails Dec 02 17:12:06 the error is "FATAL: Error inserting h5400_wifi (/lib/modules/2.6.21-hh20/kernel/arch/arm/mac) Dec 02 17:12:06 " Dec 02 17:12:30 I thought I had a mismatch between the kernel version on the module version but they seem ok Dec 02 17:12:39 anyone have any ideas please? Dec 02 17:24:05 hi Dec 02 17:24:10 sorry, missed you earlier Dec 02 17:24:23 can you run: dmesg | tail Dec 02 17:24:34 after trying to insert it and check the error? Dec 02 17:25:05 johnx - thanks - doing it now Dec 02 17:25:45 the relevant lines are: Dec 02 17:25:47 <4>[ 4629.560000] h5400_wifi: Unknown symbol driver_unregister Dec 02 17:25:47 <4>[ 4629.570000] h5400_wifi: Unknown symbol led_trigger_event_shared Dec 02 17:25:47 <4>[ 4629.580000] h5400_wifi: Unknown symbol driver_register Dec 02 17:27:03 unknown symbols usually mean a missing module or something not compiled into the kernel that should be Dec 02 17:27:36 interesting - so I may need to install another module before h5400_wifi? Dec 02 17:27:56 try running depmod -a Dec 02 17:28:02 ... Dec 02 17:28:02 then try modprobe again Dec 02 17:28:32 hmn - exactly the same Dec 02 17:32:04 I'm just reading "man depmod" - what should have happened? Dec 02 17:34:49 looks like no dependencies are listed by depmod for h5400_wifi Dec 02 17:35:55 huh, well that's odd Dec 02 17:36:07 might it have been compiled for a slightly different configuration of the same kernel? Dec 02 17:37:35 I guess so - but at that stage I'm getting past my level of knowledge - I'm still a relative beginner at all things linux Dec 02 17:37:56 so do I need to bite the bullet and learn to compilr my own kernel? Dec 02 17:39:11 or is this something the Angstrom developers would be interested in? Dec 02 17:39:47 cs0rfe: unavailability of driver_register is very strange. try some other module (driver) and see if it loads ok. Dec 02 17:39:57 at this point what I usually do is google the error message to see if anyone else had the problem Dec 02 17:40:15 then if you find no results ask on a mailing list where more people will have a chance to help Dec 02 17:40:27 Johnx - That's how I ended up with this channel :-) Dec 02 17:40:44 some guy had the same probelm back in Feb - but no solution was mentioned Dec 02 17:40:51 ok, from here, the angstrom mailing list might be a good bet Dec 02 17:41:28 psokolovsky : thanx - any advice on a module to try please? As I say I'm new to all of this. Dec 02 17:41:44 John, thanx - I'll try it there Dec 02 17:42:09 cs0rfe: not out of top of the mind ;-) try feed browser if in doubt Dec 02 17:42:19 .... Dec 02 17:43:05 modprobe usbcore cause the usb device driver to load correctly Dec 02 17:43:25 was that the kind of thing you had in mind? Dec 02 17:43:47 the other general thing I can tell you, when googling your error try leaving out the module causing it if you don't get good results: it might be a general problem Dec 02 17:43:58 not quite. try something which would also have driver_register call. some serial driver maybe. Dec 02 17:44:07 ..... Dec 02 17:47:59 cs0rfe: try pxaficp_ir Dec 02 17:48:06 ok... what kind of module am I looking for here? I've tried irtty-sir - which I assume is something to do with IR serial comms - it loads correctyl Dec 02 17:48:21 let me try that one Dec 02 17:48:25 .... Dec 02 17:49:25 yep that works fine Dec 02 17:49:48 weird Dec 02 17:49:59 me or the problem ;-) Dec 02 17:50:08 cs0rfe: where's your kernel from? Dec 02 17:50:25 also, pls find a file in /proc with kernel config and paste it somewhere Dec 02 17:51:31 kernel is from the jffs image for IPAQ on the Angstrom site...looking for URL... Dec 02 17:51:55 ok, no need for kernel url ;-) Dec 02 17:57:57 ok, I guess the file you want is the unzipped version of config.gz in /proc? Dec 02 18:00:58 cs0rfe: yep, exactly Dec 02 18:01:27 working on it - trying to copy it to a tame webserver somewhere. Dec 02 18:02:12 ~pastebin Dec 02 18:02:26 oops Dec 02 18:05:09 :-) Dec 02 18:05:25 ok try luncarty1.demon.co.uk/temp/config Dec 02 18:07:26 cs0rfe: CONFIG_LEDS_TRIGGER_SHARED=y. So, all symbols it lists as not found actually exported by kernel. So, problem is with module. Dec 02 18:08:08 cs0rfe: what I can suggest is removing the module package you have now, reinstalling new with ipkg, testing that, and then reporting exact URL of module Dec 02 18:08:33 ok, that's useful. Thanks Dec 02 18:08:51 I have alread done that once, but I'll do it again and paste the url.... Dec 02 18:10:07 http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/feeds/2007/ipk/glibc/armv5te/machine/h5000/kernel-module-h5400-wifi_2.6.21-hh20-r16_h5000.ipk Dec 02 18:16:29 cs0rfe: don't see anything wrong eyeing binary. sorry, I'm out of ideas. are you sure there's nothing else in dmesg? Dec 02 18:18:18 no- that's all, just those three lines I posted earlier Dec 02 18:18:57 its a shame, because, obviously, it stops the wifi working and means I can't use Angstrom for the project I had in mind Dec 02 18:19:49 well, wifi on h5000 is in early stages anyway... Dec 02 18:20:02 the output form modprobe is: Dec 02 18:20:03 FATAL: Error inserting h5400_wifi (/lib/modules/2.6.21-hh20/kernel/arch/arm/mach-pxa/h5400/h5400_wifi.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) Dec 02 18:20:13 and that's all I have to go on. Dec 02 18:20:33 Thanks for your help anyway, I got further in the last hours than the rest of the day :-) Dec 02 18:21:12 ;-) I'd start building my kernel here, but yep, there're sometimes pretty weird problems out there ;-) Dec 02 18:21:42 I'd assumed that wifi for h5000 was mature - I'll probably go back to familiar for this project Dec 02 18:22:00 then when I have more time, I'll learn about open embeedded and the art of kernel building Dec 02 18:22:32 anyway - thanks again - see you around Dec 02 21:37:37 hello, are there images of angstrom for the gta02(openmoko) ? (because it has libs newer than the opnemoko's distributions...) Dec 02 21:43:30 GNUtoo there are images but they are unsupported http://www.short-link.de/8971 Dec 02 21:44:00 mr_nice, thanks a lot Dec 02 21:44:23 GNUtoo I hope they will help you Dec 02 21:44:31 yes a lot... Dec 02 21:46:46 because for adding package i used to cross-compile them with oe...but then it didn't work becuase the openmoko distro configuration(that is to say in oe) had old libs...for instance it had an old lib boost...and so wesnoth didn't cross compile...i was able to fix it...but i don't think the fix will be included upstream because lib boost is too old Dec 03 01:02:40 hi **** ENDING LOGGING AT Wed Dec 03 02:59:56 2008
