Jun 13 07:13:57 <VartiWork> hi ant
Jun 13 07:15:08 <VartiWork> ant_work: I wrote you yesterday after you left, pasting the text now
Jun 13 07:15:23 <VartiWork> I have tried both the 3.2.18 and 3.2.84-f2fs versions, both they behave the same
Jun 13 07:15:31 <VartiWork> i.e. they boot as expected, menu browsing is now fast, when trying to boot my alarmz install the screen remains black
Jun 13 07:15:37 <VartiWork> something seems to be happening though, since after approx. 5-10s the green led (mail) blinks 4-5 times
Jun 13 07:15:44 <VartiWork> then nothing happens
Jun 13 07:15:54 <VartiWork> tried with both a 64GB SDXC card with kernel on partition 1 on ext3 and root on partition 2 on f2fs, and a 16GB SDHC one with kernel+root on ext4
Jun 13 07:16:51 <ant_work> hi
Jun 13 07:17:43 <VartiWork> also, I have attached two journalctl logs of the 4.12 kernel on my akita with the corgi backlight error messages, I'm now waiting for greguu for a comment/new request: http://www.oesf.org/forum/index.php?s=&showtopic=34558&view=findpost&p=283190
Jun 13 07:18:35 <ant_work> I have tested the 3.2 backports... :/
Jun 13 07:19:01 <VartiWork> ah, no luck identifying f2fs I guess?
Jun 13 07:19:05 <ant_work> f2fs is detected
Jun 13 07:19:13 <ant_work> config file is found
Jun 13 07:19:22 <ant_work> ...but then 'invalid argument'
Jun 13 07:19:35 <VartiWork> drats
Jun 13 07:19:41 <ant_work> I see if I can fix it (hard) or if 3.4 is better :)
Jun 13 07:20:10 <VartiWork> ok
Jun 13 07:20:30 <ant_work> I have laptop here, I can upload the 3.2 + 250patches f2f2
Jun 13 07:21:08 <VartiWork> I have some free time during lunch break today too, and have my Z's too
Jun 13 07:21:42 <VartiWork> feel free to upload this version, I'll test it too
Jun 13 08:25:01 <ant_work> fwiw f2fs2 patches do not apply on latest 3.2.89
Jun 13 08:27:12 <VartiWork> btw what people use their Zaurus for, nowadays: http://www.oesf.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=34566
Jun 13 09:45:41 <ant_work> VartiWork, well, therer are problems with FAT/VFAT...
Jun 13 09:53:41 <VartiWork> they aren't recognised as well? I don't have anything on FAT which I usually boot btw
Jun 13 09:56:41 <ant_work> there are old issues with codepage etc
Jun 13 09:57:01 <ant_work> it depends how/where it was formatted
Jun 13 09:57:13 <ant_work> (linux / windows)
Jun 13 09:57:16 <VartiWork> ok...
Jun 13 09:57:28 <ant_work> still, now I see vfat -> invalid option
Jun 13 09:57:34 <VartiWork> fixed on newer kernels I guess
Jun 13 09:57:43 <ant_work> while f2fs finds the boot.cfg but 'no options'...
Jun 13 09:57:55 <ant_work> so it doesn't open the file properly I guess
Jun 13 09:58:21 <ant_work> this is 3.2
Jun 13 09:58:35 <ant_work> better to try 'official' f2fs 3.4
Jun 13 09:58:44 <ant_work> (we'll see vfat later on)
Jun 13 09:59:01 <VartiWork> ok
Jun 13 11:36:28 <ant_work> VartiWork, I have here f2fs 3.10
Jun 13 11:36:35 <ant_work> I'll try akita now...
Jun 13 11:43:55 <VartiWork> ok
Jun 13 12:15:57 <ant_work> VartiWork, 3.10-f2fs finds th eentry but does not boot...
Jun 13 12:16:22 <VartiWork> :(
Jun 13 12:16:28 <ant_work> maybe creating fs with standard options is not okay
Jun 13 12:17:02 <ant_work> I can take logs at home with serial
Jun 13 12:25:29 <ant_work> VartiWork, ...I know without logging...
Jun 13 12:25:43 <ant_work> I am booting a kernel/rootfs without f2fs support :)
Jun 13 12:25:54 <ant_work> it is all okay I think
Jun 13 12:26:02 <ant_work> I'll upload
Jun 13 12:26:15 <ant_work> just checking lost patches for tosa...
Jun 13 12:27:17 <VartiWork> ok great
Jun 13 12:28:13 <VartiWork> btw, I couldn't find any headset for you on Yahoo Japan, sorry
Jun 13 12:28:39 <VartiWork> there's only one set on sale now, for the MI series though
Jun 13 14:07:30 <ant_work> nm, I have it somewhere, for cxx0 and cxxxx
Jun 13 14:12:07 <VartiWork> I have now won the auctions for a SL-C750 and a C3000, waiting for the result of my bids for a C700 and a C3100
Jun 13 14:12:31 <VartiWork> I'll become the ultimate Zaurus kexec tester it seems hehe
Jun 13 14:20:35 <ant_work> he he
Jun 13 14:20:59 <ant_work> see, 3.2.18 (yocto) is ok
Jun 13 14:21:43 <ant_work> I'll upload 3.2.47 + 250 patches f2fs (boot.cfg detected but no entries found...)
Jun 13 14:22:07 <ant_work> and 3.10.y-f2fs official port
Jun 13 14:22:16 <ant_work> that one is booting here...
Jun 13 14:22:59 <ant_work> I am intrigued, maybe 3.2.x is ok after .47 (same period as the patchset)
Jun 13 14:23:18 <ant_work> but patchset does not apply with latest 3.2.89
Jun 13 14:24:24 <ant_work> so, in case 3.10 doesn't boot on akita yet, we have ample range from 3.2.47 upward to test
Jun 13 14:24:52 <ant_work> :]
Jun 13 14:25:03 <ant_work> s/we/you
Jun 13 14:25:05 <ant_work> ....
Jun 13 14:28:47 <ant_work> you really need that serial cable
Jun 13 14:35:34 <ant_work> btw, FAT32 LBA is ok
Jun 13 14:35:56 <ant_work> is the small 64M card which is probably formatted differently by default
Jun 13 14:36:02 <ant_work> by mkfs.vfat
Jun 13 14:36:51 <ant_work> I bet you don't find 64M cards around anymore ;)
Jun 13 14:37:25 <VartiWork> no luck in finding that cable, and unfortunately I can't wait for many days before I order my goods to be consolidated and shipped to me, they can keep them for max 30 days
Jun 13 14:37:38 <VartiWork> hmm no, I don't think :)
Jun 13 14:38:01 <VartiWork> though I still have my first USB dongle, a 32MB beast, and it still works
Jun 13 14:42:21 <VartiWork> I might try my luck with one of those USB ones though, the CE-UC1
Jun 13 14:46:02 <VartiWork> later
Jun 13 22:43:31 <ant_home> Varti, I have finally fixed 3.2.89 with the huge f2fs backport
Jun 13 22:44:04 <ant_home> result is the same: config file found but no menu entries...
Jun 13 22:44:13 <ant_home> with 3.10 all seems ok
