**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sat May 18 02:59:58 2013
May 18 08:34:52 <danboid> Hi all!
May 18 08:35:23 <danboid> Have any of you seen my prob posted to the mailing list?
May 18 08:35:44 <danboid> Can't parse keyword 'KERNEL'
May 18 08:36:21 <danboid> seems to be the main error
May 18 08:45:43 <HRH_H_Crab> danboid: morning
May 18 08:45:51 <danboid> morning!
May 18 08:46:03 <danboid> No luck booting your rootfs just yet
May 18 08:46:04 <HRH_H_Crab> paste that whole line please
May 18 08:46:25 <danboid> The Can't parse keyword 'KERNEL' line?
May 18 08:46:29 <HRH_H_Crab> yeah
May 18 08:46:33 <HRH_H_Crab> from the boot.cfg
May 18 08:46:57 <danboid> KERNEL=/boot/zImage
May 18 08:47:21 <HRH_H_Crab> and what is the kernel filename?
May 18 08:47:23 <danboid> I've left boot.cfg just as you have/had it
May 18 08:47:25 <HRH_H_Crab> also i forgot to tell you
May 18 08:47:36 <HRH_H_Crab> you are prob. going to have to hack /etc/shadow in my image
May 18 08:47:41 <HRH_H_Crab> to add a password for root.
May 18 08:47:50 <HRH_H_Crab> you can find out how to do that with google
May 18 08:47:51 <danboid> yes, I was thinking about that
May 18 08:48:18 <HRH_H_Crab> im just wondering,
May 18 08:48:26 <HRH_H_Crab> that KERNEL= line is supposed to point to a file
May 18 08:48:35 <danboid> I should be able to work round that
May 18 08:48:40 <HRH_H_Crab> but the kexecboot kernel may be caled zImage.some.version.blah...
May 18 08:48:49 <HRH_H_Crab> so maybe thats why its not happy
May 18 08:49:14 <HRH_H_Crab> the error message doesnt sound like that is the problem
May 18 08:49:16 <HRH_H_Crab> but who knows?
May 18 08:49:21 <danboid> What kernel did you use, for which model?
May 18 08:49:31 <HRH_H_Crab> the one that came with kexecboot
May 18 08:49:44 <danboid> 3000/3100/3200?
May 18 08:49:48 <HRH_H_Crab> oh
May 18 08:49:54 <Jay7> danboid: hi
May 18 08:50:00 <danboid> Hi jay7!
May 18 08:50:02 <HRH_H_Crab> i would have used 3200
May 18 08:50:09 <HRH_H_Crab> as thats what i have
May 18 08:50:13 <HRH_H_Crab> hey Jay7
May 18 08:50:41 <HRH_H_Crab> Jay7: dunno if you remember me
May 18 08:50:45 <HRH_H_Crab> i was in here ages ago
May 18 08:50:55 <danboid> OK but suppposedly the 3000 can use both the 3100 and 3200 kernels - at least thats the impression the kexec d/lk page gave me
May 18 08:51:10 <HRH_H_Crab> andrea helped me resurrect my Z and now im trying to help out danboid ;)
May 18 08:51:11 <danboid> Is that so Jay?
May 18 08:51:41 <Jay7> HRH_H_Crab: hi, I remember :)
May 18 08:51:45 <HRH_H_Crab> danboid: i dont think there is any real difference in the hardware
May 18 08:51:51 <HRH_H_Crab> i might be wrong
May 18 08:51:54 <Jay7> danboid: can't say exactly
May 18 08:52:06 <Jay7> kernel-cmdline is not used anymore btw
May 18 08:52:14 <HRH_H_Crab> oh wow
May 18 08:52:17 <danboid> I thought the only differences was nand and microdrive size
May 18 08:52:21 <Jay7> move it's contents to APPEND option value
May 18 08:52:24 <HRH_H_Crab> danboid: this is prob. the reason
May 18 08:52:34 <HRH_H_Crab> kexecboot has moved on!
May 18 08:52:45 <danboid> Oh right
May 18 08:52:46 <HRH_H_Crab> Jay7: so all done from boot.cfg now?
May 18 08:52:51 <Jay7> yes
May 18 08:52:56 <HRH_H_Crab> nice
May 18 08:53:15 <Jay7> at least in 0.5
May 18 08:53:20 <Jay7> not sure about 0.4
May 18 08:53:29 <danboid> I'm on 0.5.9 here
May 18 08:53:35 <danboid> so I'll try that
May 18 08:53:38 <Jay7> I see
May 18 08:53:48 <HRH_H_Crab> Jay7: who is doing most of the work on the kernel, is that ant?
May 18 08:54:06 <Jay7> danboid: btw, can you check you have unix 'newlines' in boot.cfg?
May 18 08:54:18 <Jay7> i.e. just LF, not CR/LF
May 18 08:54:31 <Jay7> HRH_H_Crab: kernel is ant's area :)
May 18 08:54:42 <HRH_H_Crab> im pretty happy with the kernel i have
May 18 08:54:52 <danboid> Jay7: Will do although CR/LF is unlikely as I don't run Win
May 18 08:54:56 <HRH_H_Crab> but i might check up with him and see if hes done any interesting work
May 18 08:55:33 <HRH_H_Crab> (not that i actually use my Zs for anything...)
May 18 08:56:05 <danboid> Jay7: Do you own a Z?
May 18 08:56:08 <HRH_H_Crab> i view them like the arm palmtop version of a vintage sportscar.
May 18 08:56:16 <danboid> :)
May 18 08:56:20 <HRH_H_Crab>  i just want to keep them "sort of roadworthy"
May 18 08:56:24 <HRH_H_Crab> but never actually drive them anywhere
May 18 08:56:39 <danboid> Its the Linux equivalent of a Bentley
May 18 08:57:37 <Jay7> danboid: btw, ICON= may cause problems later as well
May 18 08:57:45 <Jay7> comment it or remove
May 18 08:58:02 <Jay7> danboid: yes, C1000/SL6000/SL5500 :)
May 18 08:58:03 <danboid> OK, thanks for pointing that out
May 18 08:58:26 <danboid> still use any?
May 18 08:59:01 <Jay7> not used any about a year
May 18 08:59:25 <Jay7> I was very busy this year
May 18 08:59:44 <danboid> a year is very recent by Z standards. I'm amazed I'm getting help on this in IRC! :)
May 18 08:59:57 <HRH_H_Crab> danboid: afaik
May 18 09:00:05 <Jay7> Z is very special :)
May 18 09:00:09 <HRH_H_Crab> its basically just these two crazy guys
May 18 09:00:13 <HRH_H_Crab> ;)
May 18 09:00:21 <Jay7> kind of :)
May 18 09:00:47 <Jay7>                 if (-1 == process_keyword(CFG_FILE, cfgdata, keyword, value)) {
May 18 09:00:48 <Jay7>                         log_msg(lg, "Can't parse keyword '%s'", keyword);
May 18 09:00:50 <Jay7>                 }
May 18 09:01:07 <Jay7> message is caused by something in process_keyword()
May 18 09:01:35 <HRH_H_Crab> Jay7: i supplied him with a sample config
May 18 09:01:38 <HRH_H_Crab> from a very old version
May 18 09:01:58 <HRH_H_Crab> i suspect that maybe KERNEL= may need more parameters than he is supplying
May 18 09:02:08 <HRH_H_Crab> well
May 18 09:02:11 <HRH_H_Crab> not "very old"
May 18 09:02:23 <HRH_H_Crab> but from the days when kernel-cmdline was required
May 18 09:02:39 <Jay7> http://kexecboot.org/documentation/how_to_write_config
May 18 09:02:42 <danboid> bleeding-edge in Z land
May 18 09:02:48 <Jay7> ah
May 18 09:02:53 <Jay7> I know
May 18 09:03:09 <Jay7> move LABEL to be first option in boot.cfg
May 18 09:03:31 <danboid> OK
May 18 09:03:32 <Jay7> it's required 'section delimiter' now
May 18 09:03:57 <Jay7> i.e. you can have >1 kernels on same partition and multiple sections for same partition in boot.cfg
May 18 09:04:07 <HRH_H_Crab> oooh
May 18 09:04:08 <Jay7> sections are delimited by LABEL keyword
May 18 09:04:08 <HRH_H_Crab> sexy
May 18 09:04:40 <HRH_H_Crab> sounds like a feature that ant uses when he is doing kernel hacking
May 18 09:04:41 <Jay7> Config file may have multiple section, separated by LABEL string (since rev 4f9e066).
May 18 09:05:42 <Jay7> documentation section is still useful even for me ;)
May 18 09:05:44 <Jay7> http://kexecboot.org/documentation
May 18 09:08:24 <danboid> LABEL=Debian 7
May 18 09:08:25 <danboid> KERNEL=/boot/zImage
May 18 09:08:27 <danboid> APPEND=console=ttyS0,115200n8 console=tty1 noinitrd rootfstype=ext3 fbcon=rotate:1 dyntick=enable debug quiet splash
May 18 09:08:28 <danboid> PRIORITY=100
May 18 09:08:33 <danboid> might that work?
May 18 09:08:40 <Jay7> it should :)
May 18 09:09:06 <danboid> 'APPEND=console=' looks a bit wrong
May 18 09:09:35 <Jay7> parser is looking for first '=' and pass rest of string as parameter
May 18 09:09:49 <danboid> OK, you're the dev!
May 18 09:10:01 <Jay7> (as I remember) :)
May 18 09:13:22 <HRH_H_Crab> is it working?
May 18 09:14:41 <danboid> sorry - I was on the phone. I've not replaced boot.cfg yet
May 18 09:15:15 <HRH_H_Crab> lol
May 18 09:15:28 <HRH_H_Crab> my curiosity will have to remain unsatisfied...
May 18 09:15:32 <HRH_H_Crab> off to the gym
May 18 09:15:34 <HRH_H_Crab> good luck!
May 18 09:15:37 <danboid> I think I should be able to reset your root password by adding 'init=/bin/bash' to the APPEND commandline
May 18 09:15:43 <danboid> THanks!
May 18 09:15:50 <danboid> I'll let you know how I get on
May 18 09:45:43 <danboid> I don't have any KERNEL error in the log now but when I choose Debian it just reboots kexecboot
May 18 09:59:54 <Jay7> well, it looks like more deep problem then.. something with kernel or kexec
May 18 10:00:40 <Jay7> next round is to use debug-enabled version of kexecboot
May 18 10:01:00 <Jay7> but I don't know do we have any around in public
May 18 10:01:12 <Jay7> try to bother ant about this
May 18 10:01:56 <Jay7> danboid: have you serial cable?
May 18 10:07:30 <danboid> USB serial? I think I do but I'll need to find it
May 18 10:11:16 <Jay7> no, I mean special serial cable for zaurus
May 18 10:16:23 <danboid> Ah, no I don't
May 18 10:17:19 <danboid> Are they even still available anywhere?
May 18 10:21:42 <danboid> It would seem there is a difference in filesize between the 3100 and 3200 kernels so maybe I should try reflashing with the 3000/3200 kernel and replace it in /boot too
May 18 10:22:28 <danboid> Has anyone tested the latest kexecboot releases on a C3000?
May 18 10:22:38 <danboid> (except me)
May 18 10:28:41 <Jay7> I don't know
May 18 10:28:46 <Jay7> try to ask ant
May 18 10:37:34 <danboid> whats Ants nick? I suppose he's on the mailing list, right?
May 18 10:41:09 <Jay7> ant_home or ant_work :)
May 18 10:41:18 <Jay7> Andrea Adami
May 18 10:41:25 <Jay7> he is on the ML, sure
May 18 10:41:35 <Jay7> well, I should go now
May 18 10:51:11 <HRH_H_Crab> Jay7: if you have a 3200 then you should surely use it.
May 18 10:51:31 <HRH_H_Crab> also dont be surprised if my rootfs is bullshit.
May 18 10:51:34 <HRH_H_Crab> it shouldnt be
May 18 10:51:38 <HRH_H_Crab> but it might be...
May 18 10:51:40 <HRH_H_Crab> ;)
May 18 10:52:33 <HRH_H_Crab> if we get really stuck
May 18 10:52:36 <HRH_H_Crab> and suspect that is the case
May 18 10:52:46 <HRH_H_Crab> i can make another one from one of my working Z's at some stage
May 18 10:52:50 <HRH_H_Crab> but not right now!
May 18 12:26:00 <danboid> back
May 18 12:26:59 <danboid> HRH: Hehe! I just ordered a Nexus 4! :)
May 18 12:27:06 <danboid> its your fault! :)
May 18 12:27:26 <danboid> seemed like the only serious choice
May 18 12:29:14 <danboid> I demand scope for pissing around with Ubuntu Touch and other such roms (Cyanogen mod, Tizen etc)
May 18 12:29:52 <danboid> more ways to fuck it up! :)
May 18 12:30:31 <danboid> my bro got one on release pretty much
May 18 12:54:49 <HRH_H_Crab> its a pretty decent phone
May 18 12:54:58 <HRH_H_Crab> if nokia hadnt gone all shit
May 18 12:55:17 <HRH_H_Crab> and had made a decent upgraded n900 i would have got that instead but i can tolerate the nexus 4 now.
May 18 12:55:29 <HRH_H_Crab> using it as a terminal on the road sucks though
May 18 12:55:35 <HRH_H_Crab> (compared to my old n900)
May 18 12:59:14 <danboid> agreed. I had a go on the N900 just before it got officially released and loved it. My housemate had one up until recently too and they were great. Real shame and Nokia have paid dearly for going WinCE
May 18 12:59:41 <danboid> Why did I not buy one? I really don't know
May 18 13:00:33 <danboid> It was meant to be the first new phone I'd buy, but I was holding on for the N950. Rui got one, at least :/
May 18 13:01:19 <danboid> N4 is my first new phone I've ever bought. I've always bought or been given 2nd hand phones in the past
May 18 13:02:38 <danboid> I've thought of visiting Rui in Portugal just to see his N950 :)
