**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Wed Jan 18 03:00:03 2006 Jan 18 03:02:06 tbm: I have SlugOS booting of an initramfs on an LE loft kernel (i.e. this is on a loft board, where there is more memory and the RedBoot is more up-to-date). Jan 18 03:02:50 I did this (on loft) with a cpio.gz of a complete SlugOS rootfs (including /dev) The initramfs is 1,316,840 bytes: Jan 18 03:03:04 load -r -v -b 0x1000000 /initramfsle.gz Jan 18 03:03:13 fis load kerne Jan 18 03:03:24 exec -c "swx initrd=0x1000000,0x1417e8 mem=64M console=ttyS0,115200n8 rdinit=/linuxrc" Jan 18 03:04:09 initramfsle.gz is xp$4 byte swapped. The kernel says: Jan 18 03:04:12 checking if image is initramfs... it is Jan 18 03:06:17 It seems to be running fine, though udev doesn't seem to mount on the initramfs Jan 18 05:24:11 kolla:) Jan 18 05:48:43 NAiL: happy new year :) Jan 18 05:48:55 it's kinda late, but still :) Jan 18 05:50:58 ditto ;-) Jan 18 05:51:12 How are your slugs nowadays? Jan 18 06:04:14 doing fine :) Jan 18 06:04:18 have three of them now Jan 18 06:04:27 895,- at siba ;) Jan 18 06:04:36 ooh Jan 18 06:04:40 that's kinda cheap Jan 18 06:04:54 so I have two with openslug and one with gentoo Jan 18 06:05:09 still, I'd like to get them at $80, like newegg sells 'em Jan 18 06:05:12 ah Jan 18 06:05:24 I've got one with openslug and one with debian (le) Jan 18 06:05:45 how does le work? Jan 18 06:05:57 works with internal ethernet now? Jan 18 06:06:19 it works like a charm Jan 18 06:06:29 cool :) Jan 18 06:06:34 now my scanner works, my UPS works, my webcam works like it should ;-) Jan 18 06:06:41 :) Jan 18 06:07:26 I want to bridge ethernet and usbnet so I can hook my zaurus to one of the slugs :) Jan 18 06:07:43 havent looked into it yet Jan 18 07:31:17 shouldn't be that much of a problem? Jan 18 07:31:22 IIRC, brutils are there Jan 18 07:31:36 and the bridging kernel module too IIRC :) Jan 18 09:05:41 03repvik * r229 10/releases/OpenSlug-2.7-beta/openembedded/ (conf/distro/openslug.conf packages/meta/openslug-packages.bb): Set irssi CVSDATE, and re-add to feed Jan 18 19:44:10 beewoolie-afk: Hey, I'm not sure if I told you or not but I took the risk of flashing apex and all the weird crashes went away. odd. Jan 18 20:10:39 VoodooZ_Dinner: Hmm. Jan 18 20:11:02 That is really the worst possible outcome. It means that something isn't being cleared when RedBoot jumps to APEX. Jan 18 20:11:13 VoodooZ_Dinner: Is that with the MMU enabled, too? Jan 18 20:12:02 VoodooZ_Dinner: BTW, we've got some good chatter going on on openjtag. It looks like we're finally getting enough pieces together to build some fast JTAG scanning hardware. Jan 18 21:11:50 beewoolie-afk: Yep. that's with MMU enabled. Jan 18 21:12:13 beewoolie-afk: nice work on the jtag. It might come in handy later forme too. Jan 18 21:12:16 OK. It just makes RedBoot that much less interesting. Jan 18 21:12:32 I'm close to having something working SW wise. Jan 18 21:12:32 yeah Jan 18 21:12:38 JTAG that is. Jan 18 21:12:40 already. good. Jan 18 21:13:12 I'll have to read the log to get up to date on that. Jan 18 21:13:44 Once my robot competition is over I'd like to start participating/learning more in open-source. Jan 18 21:13:58 VoodooZ_Dinner: We like pictures. Jan 18 21:14:06 hehehe. me too! Jan 18 21:14:31 I'll update my site soon but right now there's not much changes in term of hardware. Jan 18 21:19:52 rwhitby: if my custom distro is called roboslug and I put my defconfig customization in a roboslug folder under nslu2-kernel/2.6.15/ shouldn't it take them automatically or do I have to customize something else? Jan 18 21:20:39 unless I have to modify the appropriate .bb file? Jan 18 21:29:00 yeah, I don't believe OE does check for a such a folder by default so I guess I'll just mod the default defconfig for now. **** BEGIN LOGGING AT Wed Jan 18 22:59:29 2006 **** BEGIN LOGGING AT Wed Jan 18 23:03:21 2006 Jan 19 00:42:39 tbm: the sid d-i preseeded from sysconf network console image you sent me works nicely with internal ethernet and no serial. Jan 19 01:10:28 But I just realised I don't have a single disk spare which I can use to test it, so that will need to wait until tomorrow after work (all my disks and flash keys are at work) Jan 19 01:14:43 I think I'm going to change the master makefile so that "make unslung" just builds unslung-image and not unslung-packages. Jan 19 01:14:58 Ditto for the other firmware targets. **** ENDING LOGGING AT Thu Jan 19 02:59:58 2006
