Jan 19 08:34:07 <ant_work> bluelightning, hello
Jan 19 08:34:41 <ant_work> I sent 2 big patches for meta-hh but these are not showing in patchwork afais
Jan 19 08:35:38 <ant_work> I'll send pull request
Jan 19 09:21:04 <bluelightning> hi ant_work
Jan 19 09:21:10 <bluelightning> great, thanks
Jan 19 11:08:03 <VartiWork> hi
Jan 19 11:10:08 <VartiWork> does anybody have a copy of the precompiled kexecboot kernel v. 3.2 for the various Zaurus models?
Jan 19 11:10:31 <VartiWork> they used to be available here: https://web.archive.org/web/20120615193033/http://kexecboot.org/download
Jan 19 11:10:37 <VartiWork> thanks in advance
Jan 19 22:16:47 <Varthall> hi
Jan 19 23:04:54 <ant_home> Varthall, hello
Jan 19 23:05:22 <ant_home> no, unfortunately the 3.2 prebuilt images are lost
Jan 19 23:05:51 <ant_home> I've already searched with no luck
Jan 19 23:07:03 <ant_home> I can checkout an older OpenEmbedded and rebuild that...nothing is really lost
Jan 19 23:09:28 <ant_home> it's just that I don't remember exactly when I did build and upload the kernels originally
Jan 19 23:10:45 <ant_home> I guess to have used metadata 2013-03-20
Jan 19 23:11:47 <ant_home> the point is, we are a few people and are testing the 4.4 kernel nowadays
Jan 19 23:14:19 <Varthall> hello ant_home
Jan 19 23:14:34 <ant_home> for spitz/akita and c7x0 (tosa iirc) the kexecboot kernel 3.2 was ok but for collie was rather broken, missing MTD and SD card. little problems for poodle as well
Jan 19 23:14:53 <Varthall> pity
Jan 19 23:15:08 <Varthall> but thanks anyway for the info
Jan 19 23:15:24 <ant_home> things were much better with 4.x, 4.4 has some little issue atmbut is promising
Jan 19 23:16:28 <ant_home> we have spent the last year working on collie/SL5xx0 and poodle, the forgotten machines ;)
Jan 19 23:17:11 <ant_home> kexecboot itself is mature project, just needing adjustments and one day th enew features in queue
Jan 19 23:17:24 <Varthall> me and another user on OESF's forum are trying to find a working kexecboot at least for zgrom, a gaming oriented Zaurus ROM
Jan 19 23:17:52 <ant_home> I *think* I can dump some working kernel from my devices
Jan 19 23:18:00 <Varthall> I'm very happy to hear that somene is still developing for the Z :)
Jan 19 23:18:01 <ant_home> c860, c3200
Jan 19 23:18:39 <Varthall> that would be nice, if you'd have the time for it
Jan 19 23:18:55 <ant_home> well, it's a rather strange hobby :)
Jan 19 23:19:20 <Varthall> I have a C1000, buy thry might be useful for others
Jan 19 23:19:58 <Varthall> it might be strange, but the Zauruses were and still are great little machines
Jan 19 23:20:31 <Varthall> looking forward for the next release then
Jan 19 23:20:42 <ant_home> we do build only little test images
Jan 19 23:21:01 <Varthall> won't you mind if I copy and paste what you wrote here on OESF?
Jan 19 23:21:15 <ant_home> np, I've read it
Jan 19 23:21:19 <ant_home> thanks
Jan 19 23:21:48 <Varthall> aha, so we'd need to find someone to do a proper release I guess
Jan 19 23:22:01 <ant_home> heh dromede had a C1000..unfortunately disappeared
Jan 19 23:23:21 <ant_home> I'll try to upload soon a serie of kexecboot-kernels
Jan 19 23:23:34 <ant_home> then please test te images uploaded here
Jan 19 23:23:36 <ant_home> https://github.com/LinuxPDA
Jan 19 23:24:20 <ant_home> I'm looking in OESF to see if there is some new patch around
Jan 19 23:24:23 <Varthall> yes, a pity, I would have hoped that he'd have released at least a bugfixed v0,2
Jan 19 23:24:43 <Varthall> but it seems his sources are now lost :(
Jan 19 23:24:48 <ant_home> he almost sent me the sources...
Jan 19 23:24:54 <Varthall> aw
Jan 19 23:25:06 <ant_home> I planned to release for other Zaurus as well
Jan 19 23:25:16 <Varthall> I'll gladly test them
Jan 19 23:25:38 <ant_home> I'm mostly testing collie and poodle
Jan 19 23:26:03 <ant_home> there will be a new upload with the 4.4 kernel soon
Jan 19 23:26:08 <Varthall> can I post this news on oesf? or you prefer to post it yourself?
Jan 19 23:27:43 <ant_home> as you like, I was in touch with daalnroti/danboid some months ago
Jan 19 23:28:15 <ant_home> they know were the OpenEmbedded surces are
Jan 19 23:28:42 <ant_home> most development is done in the LinuxPDA github
Jan 19 23:32:06 <Varthall> ok
Jan 19 23:33:11 <Varthall> he has released his own build of kexecboot for his Arch Linux port, I wonder what version is that one... 3,x?
Jan 19 23:34:08 <ant_home> probably, iirc 3.2
Jan 19 23:34:22 <ant_home> it's the easiest/quickest thing to do
Jan 19 23:34:33 <Varthall> I see
Jan 19 23:34:46 <ant_home> but only for clamshell Zaurus
Jan 19 23:36:57 <Varthall> I'll try his version for now and see if zgrom works with it, the other guy reported some problems using an earlier 2.6.xx build and zgrom
Jan 19 23:37:21 <ant_home> anyway, he should have used the latest kexecboot 0.6 with couple of patches. Old 3.2 did use older boot.cfg syntax :/
Jan 19 23:39:10 <ant_home> these 2.6.x historical version do need a different .cfg for kexecboot
Jan 19 23:39:21 <ant_home> *versions
Jan 19 23:39:53 <ant_home> look, the news are back and there is info about it
Jan 19 23:39:54 <Varthall> ok, I'm losing track here... kexec 0.6 is based on which version of the kernel? 4.4?
Jan 19 23:39:54 <ant_home> https://github.com/kexecboot/kexecboot/wiki/News
Jan 19 23:40:15 <ant_home> boot.cfg changes 2012-06-18
Jan 19 23:40:30 <Varthall> ok
Jan 19 23:41:04 <ant_home> this may explain boot problems
Jan 19 23:41:17 <ant_home> s/may/might/
Jan 19 23:42:25 <Varthall> zgrom has been released on Oct 2012, that explains it
Jan 19 23:42:37 <ant_home> ah
Jan 19 23:48:27 <ant_home> have to go, see you soon
Jan 19 23:48:31 <ant_home> bye
