Mar 16 09:14:15 <ant_work> bluelightning: hi
Mar 16 09:14:57 <ant_work> I am trying to debug the ncurses-native vs. kernel menuconfig error but I think I am at a dead point...
Mar 16 09:15:28 <ant_work> as it is now, do_menuconfig is ok for i.e. busybox
Mar 16 09:16:47 <ant_work> if you read the log history of cml1.bbclass you'll see two distinct fixes specific for for ncurses
Mar 16 09:17:16 <ant_work> b036adf cml1: set and export TERMINFO, to handle ncurses-native relocation
Mar 16 09:17:50 <ant_work> 889e026 ncurses, busybox, cml1.bbclass: Fix menuconfig display corruption
Mar 16 09:19:07 <ant_work> well, I am pretty sure the issue is that with shared_workdir kernel is in STAGING_KERNEL_BUILDDIR
Mar 16 09:20:36 <VartiWork> hi ant_work
Mar 16 09:20:52 <ant_work> hello
Mar 16 09:21:40 <ant_work> STAGING_KERNEL_DIR = "${TMPDIR}/work-shared/${MACHINE}/kernel-source"
Mar 16 09:21:42 <ant_work> vs.
Mar 16 09:21:46 <ant_work> STAGING_DATADIR_NATIVE = "${STAGING_DIR_NATIVE}${datadir_native}"
Mar 16 09:22:06 <ant_work> (
Mar 16 09:22:06 <ant_work> STAGING_DIR_NATIVE = "${RECIPE_SYSROOT_NATIVE}" )
Mar 16 09:23:04 <ant_work> bluelightning, it's very complicated interaction between bitbake.conf, kernel.bbclass and cml1.bbclass changes :/
Mar 16 09:24:06 <ant_work> afais if we do fix kernel menuconfig we'd break busibox menuconfig...
Mar 16 09:24:56 <ant_work> VartiWork, sorry I am wasting time at menuconfig stage and have not yet finished to build 4.10.2 :)
Mar 16 09:25:15 <VartiWork> np :)
Mar 16 09:25:25 <ant_work> every time I stumble in the same bug and I'd like to see it fixed now
Mar 16 09:26:27 <VartiWork> I'm slowly continuing to test kexec, I have checked and neither the SD I use to flash it nor the NAND on my 1000 have any bad block
Mar 16 09:29:43 <VartiWork> next time I'll try again the NAND restore but with no initrd.bin and home.bin flashing (in order to make kexec find JFFSv2 partitions on mtd2 and mtd3)
Mar 16 09:31:01 <VartiWork> since AFAIR I have seen the kexec menu (at least twice) only when I didn't flash those two partitions
Mar 16 09:31:29 <VartiWork> good luck with menuconfig btw
Mar 16 09:36:34 <ant_work> there is something I'm forgetting then, when the partitions were 'dirty' it took long bot th emenu did show
Mar 16 09:37:02 <ant_work> this on other Z, never tested on akita
Mar 16 09:44:55 <ant_work> once you get to console please do ubiformat /dev/mtd2 and /dev/mtd3
Mar 16 09:45:12 <ant_work> maybe there are some old cleanmarkers from the original restore image
Mar 16 09:45:26 <ant_work> so we know they are clean
Mar 16 09:50:26 <VartiWork> ok, I'm writing this down to remind me
Mar 16 09:58:24 <ant_work> I've put all here:  http://cgit.openembedded.org/meta-handheld/tree/README.zaurus
Mar 16 10:03:52 <VartiWork> thanks
Mar 16 10:05:52 <ant_work> feel free to update it :)
Mar 16 10:11:48 <VartiWork> ok :)
Mar 16 10:13:36 <VartiWork> one thing I could already update is that the OK+PowerON flashing procedure require an SD card which is <=1GB
Mar 16 10:13:51 <VartiWork> (which are pretty rare to come by nowadays)
Mar 16 10:14:14 <VartiWork> didn't check with the CF card, I only have one which is 1GB
Mar 16 10:15:15 <VartiWork> I have also tried to format a 2GB one with a 512MB FAT16 partition only, with no avail
Mar 16 10:17:54 <VartiWork> it would be interesting to try to make a new NAND restore image with a new kernel for the OK+Power ON flashing menu, with an updated SD card driver (assuming that the kernel for flashing is inside the NAND restore)
Mar 16 15:09:39 <ant_work> VartiWork, see you soon
Mar 16 15:09:40 <ant_work> bye
Mar 16 21:18:11 <ant_home> bluelightning, I'm trying to lure kergoth on the issue...
Mar 16 21:19:18 <Varti> hi ant
Mar 16 21:20:49 <bluelightning> hi ant_home
Mar 16 21:21:19 <bluelightning> sorry I can't really help much, but if RSS makes the issue more apparent hopefully others will be able to see and help out with fixing it
Mar 16 21:32:46 <ant_home> bluelightning, it's a mess, keep away ;)
