**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sun Feb 21 02:59:57 2010 Feb 21 04:39:01 hmmm. managed to successfully compile console-image on poodle. Feb 21 04:39:49 and kexecboot starts up successfully to offer me partitions to boot from Feb 21 04:40:12 i did not include the rootfs when i flashed with the console-image however. Feb 21 04:40:40 the SD card only had the console-image files: install.sh and zImage Feb 21 04:41:23 i then added a /boot directory to SD card Feb 21 04:42:39 and added the zImage and initrd of a known working opie image to this directory Feb 21 04:43:29 kexecboot sees it... but when i attempt to boot this image i get "no init found. try passing init= to kernel" Feb 21 04:43:33 help? Feb 21 04:44:51 (by compile i mean bitbaked) Feb 21 04:47:53 anything i can do to get /mnt/boot/zImage (which kexecboot see as /dev/mmcblk0p1 ext2 241Mb) to boot? Feb 21 05:20:28 Hrm Feb 21 05:21:46 Here's how I do it, and it hasn't caused me problems before: cd /mnt/sd (or wherever it is for you) sudo tar xjvf ~/oe/.../console-image.tar.gz Then unmount, and it should detect it. Feb 21 05:22:36 In your case, you'd need to extract the initrd to to sd card. Feb 21 05:24:56 kaz00: kexecboot operates on partitions, and not images (at least afaik, I've tried to figure out how to get it it to boot images, but haven't gotten it woking yet.) Feb 21 06:10:30 ty james_l Feb 21 06:10:38 i think that is what i attempted in the interim. Feb 21 06:12:54 e.g. i performed 'cd /mnt/sd' and then 'tar xzvf Angstrom-opie-image-glibc-ipk-2007.12-r18-poodle.rootfs.tar.gz .' Feb 21 06:13:43 from what i read about kexecboot the initrd is the same as the rootfs? i assume this is true for any of the rootfs tarballs? Feb 21 06:15:08 in re: kexecboot likes partitions, not images that helps. but i am still confused as to why the extracted rootfs isnt recognized by kexecboot? Feb 21 06:16:50 correction: "-xzvf" Feb 21 06:48:46 kaz00: initrd for flash is a filesystem, however, it doesn't include the kernel, and kexecboot looks for the kernel and such in /boot/ Feb 21 06:51:42 So look at the image you extracted, especially /boot/boot.cfg (I think that's it). Copy your kernel to /boot, and make sure it points there. Feb 21 06:52:02 If it doesn't find the boot.cfg I don't think it recognizes it. Feb 21 07:28:25 kaz00: That any help? Feb 21 11:52:21 <|Deep_Blue|> hello. I'm having trouble getting angstrom to boot. I followed the instructions and formatted the sd card and put the stuff there, MLO first, but when it tries to boot, it says unknown command 'mmcinit' - try 'help' and then it boots from nand. Feb 21 11:54:21 <|Deep_Blue|> it's a C3 BB, if that matters Feb 21 12:03:59 <|Deep_Blue|> Any idea? Feb 21 12:20:16 your u-boot is too old or not the right version Feb 21 12:20:31 might also be you're using the build-in u-boot Feb 21 12:20:43 and actually this is not really an angstrom q, but more a beagle q Feb 21 12:23:29 <|Deep_Blue|> ok, but if you could help me with this, i'd be greatful. I took everything from http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/demo/beagleboard/ including the u-boot. It's dated 8.1.2010 Feb 21 12:30:16 <|Deep_Blue|> alrighty, i joined #beagle Feb 21 12:57:21 |Deep_Blue|: try using the versions from www.elinux/beagleboard as a starter (or from beagleboard validation package Feb 21 12:57:24 google for hat Feb 21 13:00:44 |Deep_Blue|: saw you alread got an answer in #beagle Feb 21 18:34:36 AHA! Feb 21 18:39:43 Is there a way to specify in task-base which kernel? I've got the case of kernel modules changing names between 2.6.28 and 2.6.29. Feb 21 18:43:20 not that i am aware of, suggest if you upgrade the kernel you also upgrade the modules Feb 21 18:49:18 Ok, what's going on is ieee80211 changed names to lib80211 in 2.6.29, which means any kernel post 2.6.28 will not include any wep (or I think wpa) support. Is there something where packages can be replaced? Feb 21 18:50:53 Possibly compatibility-providers.conf? Feb 21 18:51:57 if you have a .29 kernel you also should have/use the new modules Feb 21 18:52:05 and you can manually install the new package Feb 21 18:52:16 assuming you know the name Feb 21 18:52:34 Yes, how do I specify that, as it's an issue for anything that will use 29 or greater and wants to do wep. Feb 21 18:53:05 will look in a minute Feb 21 18:53:52 (I think, at least anything that uses the routines, which I think include most drivers, though I checked and my built-in laptop doesn't, so maybe it's just limited to pcmcia) Feb 21 18:54:05 (or at least those that I've used.) Feb 21 18:54:27 kernel-module-lib80211 and kernel-module-lib80211-crypt-tkip and kernel-module-lib80211-crypt-ccmp and kernel-module-lib80211-crypt-wep Feb 21 18:54:37 that should do the job Feb 21 18:54:46 just opkg install those modules Feb 21 18:57:09 I know how to get it working, I'm looking for how to make angstrom/openembedded properly add them. Feb 21 18:57:43 For submitting a patch, so that I (or anyone else) don't have to do it manually. Feb 21 19:21:54 i doubt if that is possible Feb 21 23:08:48 * crazyhors seeks advice on archos 5 installation.... Feb 22 02:58:47 is anyone using the VLC in the angstrom repositories? Feb 22 02:58:53 i'm getting a seg fault when i try to run it **** ENDING LOGGING AT Mon Feb 22 02:59:58 2010
