**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Fri Sep 25 02:59:58 2009 Sep 25 15:23:38 Is angstrom-distribution.org down? A telnet www.angstrom-distribution.org 80 doesn't work for me from two different Linux distro's in two different continents, so I'm pretty sure it's not my end. Anyone else got the same problem? Sep 25 15:24:05 its probably just at 100% cpu load again Sep 25 15:24:38 XorA: Ok. Will that be fixed pretty quickly (or will it have less load soon)? Sep 25 15:24:56 yeah normally does fix itself Sep 25 15:25:19 XorA: Okay. How long does that take? ~1? Sep 25 15:25:22 we dont pay for the hosting so cant complain too much Sep 25 15:25:38 depends when the spammers stop hammering the machine normally Sep 25 15:26:10 XorA: Ok Sep 25 21:31:11 Can anyone help me with understanding kernel compilation please? Sep 25 21:31:57 I've been changing some options in what I think is the right file - defconfig - but the modules I'm requesting don't get built Sep 25 21:32:02 where am I going wrong please? Sep 25 21:32:54 cs0rfe: what did you do exactly do get new modules? Sep 25 21:34:36 I'm compiling a kernel for an IPAQ 5550 - I need to add CONFIG_USB_USBNET=y (or m) and CONFIG_USB_NET_AX8817X Sep 25 21:35:36 I've edited the defconfig file in $OE/recipes/linux/linux-handhelds-2.6-2.6.21/h5000 Sep 25 21:36:08 and then used bitbake to first do a "clean" and then a build Sep 25 21:36:12 I would do "bitbake virtual/kernel -c menuconfig" enable the options you want and copy the resulting .config to recipies/linux Sep 25 21:36:57 the resulting kernal doesn't contain support for usbnet or ax8817x and the loadable kernel modules aren't built either Sep 25 21:37:15 ok - I'll give that a try - thanks Sep 25 21:37:40 are sure that you modified the right file? Sep 25 21:38:05 no - that's the problem - I'm trying to find my way round the many files in OE :-) Sep 25 21:38:29 I assume that all config files are generated from the defconfig files? Sep 25 21:39:36 yes. Sep 25 21:40:02 which kernel does the IPAQ 5550 use? Sep 25 21:40:31 so why, after I have changed the defconfig file and rebuilt do the changes I've made not end up in .config or .config.old? Sep 25 21:40:37 2.6.21 Sep 25 21:42:08 what is the machine name for 5500? Sep 25 21:42:28 is it h5000? Sep 25 21:42:35 yess Sep 25 21:43:04 so you use the linux-handhelds-2.6 kernel Sep 25 21:43:09 yes Sep 25 21:45:08 then you need to modify the recipies/linux/linux-handhelds-2.6-2.6.21/h500/defconfig file Sep 25 21:45:31 let me just check - but I'm sure that's the one I've changed.... Sep 25 21:46:01 yes - I've added the lines: Sep 25 21:46:13 CONFIG_USB_USBNET=y Sep 25 21:46:13 CONFIG_USB_NET_AX8817X=y Sep 25 21:46:40 to that defconfig then rebuilt the kernel with the command line: Sep 25 21:46:49 Try to generate a config with -c menuconfig and replace the defconfig with the generated .config Sep 25 21:47:06 bitbake -b ./openembedded/recipes/linux/linux-handhelds-2.6_2.6.21-hh20.bb -c compile -f -D Sep 25 21:47:33 ok - trying now.... Sep 25 21:48:45 I'd do "bitbake -c clean virtual/kernel; bitbake -c menuconfig virtual/kernel; copy .config to defconfig; bitbake virtual kernel Sep 25 21:49:18 ok - I'll try that instead........ Sep 25 21:49:21 maybe you can skip the "copy .config .." step. Or need an addition "-c clean" after it. Sep 25 21:54:17 thesing - I'm on a v. slow machine so it might take a while but thanx for the help Sep 25 22:06:53 night all Sep 25 23:59:48 cs0rfe, I feel ya. used to build images on a pIII with full 500MHz of clock **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sat Sep 26 02:59:57 2009
