**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Fri Apr 17 02:59:57 2009 Apr 17 05:11:22 i keep gettting a pango modules error from the x11 repository says directory doesnt exist when i try to install programs Apr 17 05:15:56 Can anybody here help me with a general Zaurus issue that isn't really related to Angstrom itself? I have U-Boot installed and I can't get any new kernels flashed for some reason Apr 17 05:18:08 I am trying to set up multiboot, which (I think) will enable me to run Gentoo and some other more PDA-ish distro off the same MD Apr 17 05:19:06 I do apologize for being off-topic, but all the people who might actually be able to help me have either left Zaurus dev altogether or moved here. Let's be honest, I'm not interrupting anything. :-P Apr 17 05:33:15 * BitWraith gets a crazy idea and attempts to flash the Poky kernel Apr 17 05:51:43 ... Unbeleiveably enough, I have actually managed to flash a kernel. :-) Apr 17 05:52:10 however, I keep getting kernel panics because it doesn't know where my root filesystem is located Apr 17 05:52:42 anyone who knows how to set up root= on U-boot please speak up ;-) Apr 17 06:48:21 brilliant. I think it's bricked now ;-S Apr 17 06:56:54 wait, the C+D flash key combo still works ;-) Apr 17 10:11:02 BitWraith: still there? Apr 17 10:52:20 ~seen laibsch Apr 17 10:52:57 broonie, hi Apr 17 10:55:24 hi Apr 17 10:56:44 broonie, I resent the patch for palmasoc ... I'm still quite sleepy after linuxexpo, so I hope it's correct now Apr 17 10:59:05 It looked OK, IIRC. Apr 17 10:59:17 ok Apr 17 11:01:46 broonie, btw. that's asoc1 driver ... will I have to rewrite it once asoc2 hits mainline ? Apr 17 11:28:14 marex: No. Apr 17 11:28:39 broonie, well ... I rather mean, will I gain anything worth by doing so ? Apr 17 11:30:15 no Apr 17 11:30:41 Well, possibly it might be helpful to use a platform device for the machine drivers. Apr 17 11:30:50 ASoC v2 is not going to mainline en masse, Apr 17 11:31:02 the changes will continue to be fed in gradually. Apr 17 11:31:51 ok Apr 17 11:33:35 For your GPIO patch post to lkml and hope Andrew Morton picks it up - David appears to have been ignoring GPIO patches recently for some reason. Apr 17 11:33:59 dang :( Apr 17 11:34:16 well I'd like to have ucb1400 gpio patch merged and then battery driver too Apr 17 11:34:29 with that done, the ucb1400 chip would be completely supported Apr 17 11:34:36 (and then I can push palmtc) Apr 17 11:35:11 it'd be good if Eric could just merge it as it's near-to-arm-only chip Apr 17 11:38:15 In general you should be posting to the relevant list rather than just linux-arm. Apr 17 11:39:08 well I asked in linux-arm as of where should I post it, but havent gotten any response about that Apr 17 11:40:33 linux-kernel if there's no other list quoted. Apr 17 11:43:52 Im not subscribed there :T Apr 17 11:43:58 hmm ... oh well Apr 17 11:48:33 It's not subscribers only. Apr 17 11:48:38 (few Linux lists are) Apr 17 11:49:41 I know, but it's better to be subscribed if you send any patches there Apr 17 11:53:24 People should always keep you on CC, it should never stop you posting patches. Apr 17 11:54:00 ok :) Apr 17 15:15:28 ant_work, now I'm here Apr 17 15:15:44 hello Apr 17 15:15:54 what's the problem with uImage? Apr 17 15:16:35 did you install pdaxrom before Apr 17 15:16:37 ? Apr 17 15:16:46 my problem is that I used rdev on an x86 box to adjust the kernel before flashing it, which apparnetly doesn't wor kas well as I had been led to beleive :-P Apr 17 15:16:55 I did install pdaxrom before Apr 17 15:17:17 ok, so possibly you have only one 'big' partition on nand Apr 17 15:17:25 wich Zaurus? Apr 17 15:17:30 SL-C3200 Apr 17 15:17:36 ok Apr 17 15:18:16 if you use OpeneEmbedded you could build a special u-boot.bin with hardcoded mtdparts Apr 17 15:19:22 the guys in uboot said it may be possible to install an existing kernel such as the poky or pdaxrom one and pass it the root= arg through a file called "bootargs" Apr 17 15:19:37 I would be looking for that frantically now if I could get the thing to boot :-P Apr 17 15:20:00 some kernels have hardcoded mtdparts Apr 17 15:20:38 newer (after 2.6.23) should work and read the bootargs Apr 17 15:21:05 actually you van set the bootargs at compile time Apr 17 15:21:09 you can Apr 17 15:21:26 in theory you could edit the u-boot env Apr 17 15:21:31 and save it... Apr 17 15:21:53 but I always lost the console after saving env... :/ Apr 17 15:22:14 BUT Apr 17 15:22:32 if you just need to be able to boot from different media / partitions Apr 17 15:22:40 kexecboot should be enough Apr 17 15:22:50 if I could get multiboot working taht would be awesome Apr 17 15:23:08 but I've tried many times, I don't think it can be done on uboot Apr 17 15:23:13 do you use distro in nand? Apr 17 15:23:31 I was using one, I'm trying to het it to boot directly from the MD instead Apr 17 15:23:50 hda1 is a 1.5G Gentoo root filesystem Apr 17 15:24:01 which has a kernel where multiboot would find it Apr 17 15:24:13 and hda2 has Poky in a similar configuration Apr 17 15:24:22 if the kernel is in /boot kexecboot would find it Apr 17 15:24:38 actually just zImage supported Apr 17 15:24:46 what is the difference between kexecboot and multiboot? Apr 17 15:24:59 but the kexecboot kernel can be uImage if you stick with u-boot Apr 17 15:25:09 multiboot? Apr 17 15:25:29 I think it's referring to kexecboot kernel (Zubuntu) Apr 17 15:25:32 I was reading about multiboot on a ubuntu for zaurus page Apr 17 15:25:42 ok, is kexecboot Apr 17 15:25:44 real name Apr 17 15:26:27 so basically what you want is a uImage of a kexecboot-kernel for spitz Apr 17 15:26:32 he Apr 17 15:26:38 awesome, maybe now I'll be able to find the rest of its files ;-P Apr 17 15:26:44 is easy in OpenEmbedded Apr 17 15:26:54 I don't have OpenEmbedded here Apr 17 15:27:06 you can adapt the patches Apr 17 15:27:33 pdaxrom u-boot got minor patches Apr 17 15:27:54 basiccally just to write bootargs Apr 17 15:28:46 BitWraith: do you have a valid mkimage ? Apr 17 15:29:02 I might, what is that? Apr 17 15:29:12 is for creating uImages Apr 17 15:29:48 I don't appear to have it, and I don't see it in Portage either. Apr 17 15:29:58 in u-boot extras? Apr 17 15:30:12 which computer am I to be looking at? Apr 17 15:30:15 the Zaurus? Apr 17 15:30:26 It's still acting like a brick :-P Apr 17 15:32:01 I guess the first thing I have to do is follow the pdaxrom instructions to reinstall uboot and pray to god that fixes my lack of kernel problem along the way :-P Apr 17 15:34:57 gmorning all Apr 17 15:35:33 I have a sharp 5600 (poodle) that I'd like to donate to a dev if anyone is interested Apr 17 15:35:34 morning Apr 17 15:35:51 I know it's outdated but someone might still be interested Apr 17 15:56:39 semp: I'd give it a home if you don't end up with anybody else. I'm just getting into working with Angstrom, so I'm not going to probably help very much, but if you don't end up with anybody else, I would gladly be an alternate. Apr 17 16:01:23 ant_work, still around? Apr 17 16:01:44 some of...still on the phone... Apr 17 16:01:48 lol Apr 17 16:01:54 no rush :-) Apr 17 16:10:04 hello Crofton, do you happen to be around :) Apr 17 16:15:20 * BitWraith gets frustrated and takes a Halo break Apr 17 17:21:24 BitWraith: sorry..I'm moving home..bbl Apr 17 17:40:03 putumutukas, sorry no progress, still looking for an OSK to test against :( Apr 17 17:54:33 surprisingly enough, the fn+d+m menu is working... I guess I will *try* to get SHARP rom set up just so the Z is slightly less of a brick. Either it will work or I will be right back where I started, I have nothing to lose. X-D Apr 17 18:09:26 it's ALIVE!!! Apr 17 18:09:37 ? Apr 17 18:09:50 "HDD3 Error!!" Apr 17 18:10:09 ... figures. lol Apr 17 18:22:51 The angstrom website is not working very well. Couldn't it die AFTER I'm done downloading things from it? lol **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sat Apr 18 02:59:57 2009
