May 31 08:50:01 <VartiWork> ant_work: hi
May 31 08:50:52 <VartiWork> greguu: and hi
May 31 08:52:05 <VartiWork> I'm now using the serial cable on the Akita to get the boot output, but it seems the debug switch is not given to the kernel cmdline in kexec
May 31 08:52:19 <VartiWork> is there any way to add that switch?
May 31 08:53:04 <VartiWork> all I'm seeing during the boot on the serial port is "Uncompressing Linux... done, booting the kernel"
May 31 08:54:50 <VartiWork> also, if you agree I'd like to open a private development forum on oesf for kexec and, if you wish, for void/arch too
May 31 08:56:06 <VartiWork> I really need to find a way to have all my posts to be easily searchable, you can't do any seach on PMs
May 31 09:59:46 <VartiWork> doing a NAND backup of one of my Tosas now
May 31 10:01:54 <ant_work> VartiWork, hi. To get log you'd need a special kexecboot binary with debug enabled and a kernel with PRINTK and BUG enabled as well. For size-savings all these options are disabled currently
May 31 10:04:36 <VartiWork> ok... I guess I'll have to wait for greguu
May 31 10:33:43 <VartiWork> ant_work: did the bad block check, found 6 bad blocks, the tool prints a big red NG!, any idea of what could that mean? I guess it might stand for "Not Good", and might be printed only when one or more bad blocks are detected
May 31 10:34:34 <VartiWork> https://www.oesf.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=19539
May 31 10:45:43 <ant_work> NG is probably as you say, it is normal because nobody did bother to find the checksum algo used by sharp
May 31 10:46:51 <ant_work> as for the rootfs, originally there is a "Sharp!" specifi 16b header that we ignore
May 31 11:00:20 <VartiWork> kernel 4.4.8 running on Tosa: https://www.oesf.org/pics/kexec_4.4.8_tosa/IMG-20180531-02503.jpg

May 31 11:00:26 <VartiWork> https://www.oesf.org/pics/kexec_4.4.8_tosa/IMG-20180531-02505.jpg
May 31 11:00:56 <VartiWork> no issues found so far
May 31 11:02:06 <VartiWork> though I have now to find a ROM compatible with the Tosa which can be installed on an SD, and see if kexec boots it
May 31 11:02:17 <VartiWork> http://www.oesf.org/old_wiki/index.php?title=6000_ROMs
May 31 11:02:55 <ant_work> didn't I upload any?
May 31 11:03:24 <ant_work> ah, removed...
May 31 11:03:31 <VartiWork> hmm you are right
May 31 11:03:44 <ant_work> I have some freash 4.16 azround
May 31 11:03:54 <ant_work> no idea...
May 31 11:04:07 <ant_work> good that kexecboot stil lworks :)
May 31 11:04:37 <VartiWork> I remember there was an OE poky release from you
May 31 11:04:47 <VartiWork> yes :)
May 31 11:04:57 <VartiWork> if you want I can try that 4.16 too
May 31 11:05:29 <ant_work> yes, thee are already built but not tested
May 31 11:05:39 <ant_work> (greg said 4.16 givbes probs)
May 31 11:09:48 <VartiWork> hmm ok, better wait then
May 31 11:16:17 <ant_work> I think best is to upload some 4.4 images so we have collie as well
May 31 11:16:49 <VartiWork> I might try to boot Omegamoon's Zubuntu for Tosa: http://www.omegamoon.com/blog/index.php?entry=entry090716-153753
May 31 11:17:21 <ant_work> well, ok, but something recent as well
May 31 11:17:45 <ant_work> for fun you can kexec the kexec zImage itself :)
May 31 11:17:56 <ant_work> just put it on a card
May 31 11:20:46 <Omegamoon> make sure to remove the dust of that distro VartiWork :P
May 31 11:22:19 <VartiWork> ant_work: I was thinking the same... but I guess it's better to boot a full distro, it would be a more significant test :)
May 31 11:23:15 <ant_work> ok, but my reposnabilityu ends after kexec'ed kernels starts init :)
May 31 11:24:24 <VartiWork> good point
May 31 11:25:02 <VartiWork> Omegamoon: heh, how time flies... 9 years ago
May 31 11:25:57 <VartiWork> the Tosa is indeed a fridge, but also the Gemini isn't that less bulky
May 31 12:01:31 <Omegamoon> VartiWork, you have your Gemini already?
May 31 12:04:34 <VartiWork> no
May 31 12:04:50 <VartiWork> order locked, but still no tracking email
May 31 12:05:54 <VartiWork> but I have made a rough sketch of how much it should measure, just to get an idea
May 31 12:06:58 <VartiWork> the Gemini is tall like the Tosa, and it is even wider than it by a couple of cm
May 31 12:07:16 <VartiWork> at least I believe it won't be as thick as the Tosa
May 31 13:06:11 <Omegamoon> no, it's not as thick as the Tosa... a few millimeters thinner
