**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Mon Aug 01 02:59:57 2011 Aug 01 09:24:49 Has anyone got experience using Angstrom with 802.1q VLANs? Aug 01 09:28:42 I have found a package I want to install within the Angstrom feeds browser, but I can't find it within the package manager... it's the VLAN Kernel module - Anyone have experience with it?

Aug 01 13:05:47 Installing the 8021q package. Aug 01 13:06:16 It's not in OPKG, or in any of the OMAP repos for ARM7 Aug 01 13:07:08 I've added the stable and unstable feeds, and updated OPKG, but the 8021q package isn't listed. Aug 01 13:07:18 When I looked into the actual feed directories... Aug 01 13:08:06 Loqus: 8021q is the kernel module, I assume it would be built somewhere, when you say ARM7 I assume you mean ARMv7 and are using something like a BeagleBoard? Aug 01 13:08:09 there doesn't seem to be aby ARM7 packages at all for the module or the tools. Aug 01 13:08:18 Gumstix Aug 01 13:08:33 Close enough ;) Aug 01 13:08:39 I was hoping to modprobe it in and avoid rebuilding the kernel Aug 01 13:08:49 Hmmm, let me check, I have built and used it on the OpenPandora in the past. Aug 01 13:09:05 ...on my desktop is was a case of "apt-get install 8021q" Aug 01 13:09:30 ...I'm new to using the Gumstix. Aug 01 13:10:01 kernel-module-8021q and vlan should do it. Aug 01 13:11:18 Just booting it now Aug 01 13:11:39 From memory that is, don't have anything handy to check but I think that will give you the module and vconfig. Aug 01 13:12:01 opkg install vlan definately doesn't work... Aug 01 13:12:05 can't find the VLAN module Aug 01 13:12:51 Yeah... "Unknown package 'vlan'." Aug 01 13:13:36 same with kernel-module-8021q Aug 01 13:13:53 "Unknown pagkage "01kernel-module-8021q01" Aug 01 13:15:03 Hmmm, not sure about your setup, http://git.openembedded.org/cgit.cgi/openembedded/tree/recipes/vlan/vlan_1.9.bb is in OE (classic) as a recipe so I assume it may just not be in your feeds? Not really sure. Same for the module. Aug 01 13:15:36 Yeah, seems to be the case... it's just not in the ARM7 feed for the distro :/ Aug 01 13:16:10 I could grab the src and go abotu it that way, but I'd prefer to keep everything I'm doing as easily repeatable as possible. Aug 01 13:17:34 My current fallback is to go Ubuntu, but I'd rather not if someone can tell me why it's not in the package manager... Aug 01 13:18:16 Thanks for the help DJWillis... I'll keep posting at regular intervals and see if any of the lurkers can shed any light. Aug 01 13:26:04 Loqus: good luck, just checked it's on my OP but I control the build setup there ;) Aug 01 13:28:19 I think it just might come down to the binaries, but I have to document the devlopment process so someone else can repeat it, and they might not even be computer savvy, let alone linux savvy. Aug 01 13:28:27 ...fun times :? Aug 01 13:29:11 Loqus: sounds 'normal' ;-), it would be a good guide to have, no idea why it is not in the Gumstick feeds mind you. Aug 01 13:30:46 Loqus: can anyone in #gumstix offer any advice on why it may not be in the feed? Unforunately as it is a kernel module grabbing it from another device is not really going to work well ;) Aug 01 13:43:04 hi, does angstrom support the hfs+ fs ? Aug 01 14:49:29 ^^ Tried to get a response in #gumstix, but it's a bit quiet in there... Aug 01 15:00:57 I'm just getting up-to-speed with Angstrom again (last time was somewhere in 2006 when I had a Sharp Zaurus) and there's one thing I'm finding difficult to understand: I have a hx4700 - the documentation (http://www.linuxtogo.org/gowiki/WinCeQuickInstall) says I should be using HaRET bootloader. However, on the main page I see a screenshot of the hx4700 running kexecboot . Is kexecboot considered stable on the hx4700 and can it boot the WinCE Aug 01 15:00:57 installed on the hx4700? Aug 01 15:12:14 eranm: I'd imagine koen used HaRET to boot kexecboot Aug 01 15:16:21 Then what is the benefit of booting into kexecboot rather than directly to the desired OS image? Aug 01 15:24:36 don't know... the ability to select from multiple system images? you'd have to ask koen why he did it that way Aug 01 15:30:58 I will :) Does he hang around here sometimes? Aug 01 15:56:36 eranm: unfortunately, no... you can get his attention on the mailing list however Aug 01 15:57:03 Will do. Thanks!
